claude-desktop-chat-export

vicnaumby vicnaum19 days ago47

Export a claude.ai (Claude Desktop / web) conversation and convert it to a Claude Code CLI JSONL session so it becomes resumable via `claude -r <sessionId>`. Use when the user wants to: (1) continue a claude.ai/Claude Desktop chat in Claude Code CLI, (2) import a web conversation into CC, (3) archive a claude.ai conversation locally with images and attachments, (4) unfreeze a claude.ai chat that hit its context limit, or (5) convert conversation.json from the claude.ai API to CC's JSONL envelope format. Triggers on mentions of exporting/importing Claude Desktop chats, resuming a web chat in CLI, conversation.json → JSONL, or claude.ai chat archival.
