Summary

The user built an export script to convert Claude Code conversations to readable HTML/Markdown, then packaged it as an open-source tool with parallelized summarization and prepared it for GitHub release.

What the user asked for:

Key outcomes:

👤 User — 2026-04-30 23:15

can you get a list of conversations specific to this worktree?

🤖 Assistant — 2026-04-30 23:15

Found 186 conversations in this worktree. Filtered down to 26 interactive sessions (the other 160 are autonomous Ralph-loop runs all kicking off with the same # Ralph Agent Instructions boilerplate).

Sorted newest-first by file mtime, listed above with timestamp | session-id-prefix | first user message.

A few quick observations:

If you want any of these expanded (full first message, or a session resumed), say which session ID and I'll pull it.

👤 User — 2026-04-30 23:40

I'd like to build an export script

It should export the active conversations in a readable format

It should have all user interactions clearly and the relevant agent text

I expect there's large amounts of agent text and tool uses that aren't relevant and some that are

todo list items are probably relevant agent asking questsions and user response tool definitely relevant context for user response (so probably previous message) defininitely reelevent intermediate output not releveant

Can we figure out a way to mechanicstically filter this with either a specific uuid or for the current worktree and iterate on a script?

🤖 Assistant — 2026-04-30 23:41

Plan: build /tmp/export_convo.py that takes either --session <uuid-prefix> or --all-active (filters out Ralph loops by default), reads the JSONL, and emits markdown. I'll start with one session so we can iterate on the filter rules.

Let me look at the message shapes we'll need to filter (assistant text vs tool_use vs tool_result, plus the TodoWrite tool).

Now I have the structure. Let me build the script.

Now let's iterate on a small session that should be short and easy to eyeball.

Looks clean. Let me try a richer session with todos, agents, and questions to test those rendering paths.

Two issues to fix: (1) TaskCreate has description, TaskUpdate has taskId + status — I need a taskId→description map; (2) plan body's ## headings collide with our section hierarchy; (3) consecutive assistant chunks each get their own header, which is noisy.

Headers look much cleaner. Let me eyeball the actual content to check rendering.

Several remaining issues: TaskUpdate doesn't resolve task descriptions (taskIds are sequential 1,2,3 but I never mapped them); long tool paths truncate mid-path; and tool-use bullets appear under "User" headers when the assistant turn had no text. Let me fix.

Looks solid. Let me sanity-check on the recent debugging session and add --all-active for bulk export.

One more issue: assistant text bodies often contain their own ## headings (e.g. lines 70, 80, 130) which then look like top-level sections in the export. Need to demote them while leaving fenced code untouched.

Now add --all-active for bulk export and improve --list.

Heading hierarchy is clean. Bulk-export test:

All three modes work. Script is at /tmp/export_convo.py. 26 interactive sessions exported to /tmp/convo-export/.

Usage:

Filter rules currently applied:

Things I'm not yet handling that we could iterate on:

  1. AskUserQuestion answer is the verbatim tool_result string ("User has answered your questions: ..."). Could parse it to render Q→A pairs side-by-side.
  2. Sub-agent transcripts (sidechain frames) are dropped entirely. We currently only show the prompt the parent sent. If you want to see what the sub-agent did, I could include its first user-facing text reply.
  3. No filtering of mcp__claude-in-chrome__computer / similar high-volume MCP tool calls — they show as one-line bullets. Could collapse runs of N-identical tools.
  4. The Agent call's <details> prompt block is GitHub-flavoured; works in most viewers but won't collapse in plain renderers. Could swap to a code fence.

Want me to tweak any of these, try it on a different session, or iterate on the visible content?

👤 User — 2026-05-01 00:12

Can you show me an example

🤖 Assistant — 2026-05-01 00:12

That file's stale — let me regenerate with the current script.

👤 User — 2026-05-01 00:12

[Request interrupted by user for tool use]

👤 User — 2026-05-01 00:13

Have a look at 6e6e0d85-d3d4-4a5f-a3aa-08c8fa06d6b2 - it feels like the first thing is cut off - is that a user slack command?

🤖 Assistant — 2026-05-01 00:13

Yes — the first three user events in that session are slash commands (/plugin marketplace add snarktank/ralph, /plugin install ralph-skills@ralph-marketplace, /reload-plugins), and my filter drops anything wrapped in <command-name> / <local-command-stdout> envelopes. So the export silently starts at the first prose message. Let me render slash commands as a compact line.

Slash commands and their stdout are now preserved at the top of the export. Re-running --all-active to refresh the bulk dump:

Fixed and re-exported. The first slash commands (/plugin marketplace add snarktank/ralph, /plugin install ralph-skills@ralph-marketplace, /reload-plugins, /ralph-skills:prd) now appear at the top of convo_6e6e0d85.md with their stdout under each.

👤 User — 2026-05-01 00:16

Please can we render to html instead of markdowm

🤖 Assistant — 2026-05-01 00:16

Test on the session you flagged earlier:

Let me make slash commands use the slash CSS class by emitting raw HTML in the markdown:

Now bulk-export to HTML:

HTML export done. 26 sessions in /tmp/convo-export-html/, plus a single-session preview at /tmp/convo_6e6e0d85.html.

Usage:

Open it with open /tmp/convo_6e6e0d85.html to eyeball — let me know what to refine (typography, spacing, toolbox to add a sticky session header, tool-line styling, etc.).

👤 User — 2026-05-01 00:19

Please have a light mode / dark mode toggle defaulting to system value

🤖 Assistant — 2026-05-01 00:19

Theme toggle added. A pill-shaped button is fixed top-right; clicking cycles System → Light → Dark → System. The choice is persisted in localStorage (convo-export-theme) so it survives reloads, and when set to System it follows OS changes live.

The CSS now uses CSS custom properties driven by either data-theme="light|dark" on <html> (explicit override) or prefers-color-scheme (when no override). Default state on first load is system.

Files refreshed: /tmp/convo_6e6e0d85.html and the bulk dir /tmp/convo-export-html/.

👤 User — 2026-05-01 01:05

Can we edit creation time and mtime on creation to be first and last message time for easy sorting in the finder?

🤖 Assistant — 2026-05-01 01:06

Working. Birth time = first message (Apr 10 11:15:53), mtime = last message (Apr 10 15:13:36). Now refresh the bulk export:

Birth time = first conversation message, mtime = last message. Filename prefix is also taken from the first message timestamp (so a session that started earlier than its file's mtime — c012f559 started Apr 9 19:21 even though its file was last modified later — now sorts correctly). Sort by Date Created or Date Modified in Finder will both work.

Refreshed: /tmp/convo-export-html/ (27 sessions) and /tmp/convo_6e6e0d85.html.

👤 User — 2026-05-01 01:12

Please use OPENROUTER_API_KEY to make script ask haiku model to summarize each conversation for filename. Fallback to uuid with visible warning to stdout about setting it if missing

🤖 Assistant — 2026-05-01 01:13

Now update the --all-active loop to summarize and use the slug in filenames:

Most files done, still summarising the rest in background. The Monitor will notify when it finishes.

Awaiting the monitor for final completion.

Still running. Monitor will notify on each new file and on completion.

All 27 files exported with model-summarised filenames. Each file's birth time is the first message and mtime is the last, so Finder sorts correctly. Slugs are cached at /tmp/convo-export-summary-cache.json so re-runs skip the API hit.

When OPENROUTER_API_KEY is missing the script now prints a visible warning and falls back to UUID-prefixed names; with the key present it uses Haiku (anthropic/claude-haiku-4.5, override via OPENROUTER_MODEL). The slug is sanitised to [a-z0-9-], capped at 60 chars.

bjxanyc9f Monitor event: "wait for bulk export to finish" [Monitor timed out — re-arm if needed.]

🤖 Assistant — 2026-05-01 01:19

Acknowledged — that monitor was the first one I armed (the older until loop). It hit its timeout, but the bulk export already completed successfully via the second monitor and the script's own exit. All 27 files are in /tmp/convo-export-html/. No re-arm needed.

🤖 Assistant — 2026-05-01 01:19

Confirmed — bulk export complete, 27 files in /tmp/convo-export-html/ with Haiku-summarised filenames and birth/mtime set to first/last message.

👤 User — 2026-05-01 11:52

Please can we put this script in ~/bin/clawport and make sure it has good help docs

🤖 Assistant — 2026-05-01 11:52

Now I understand the encoding (replace / and . with -). Let me overhaul the script for installation.

Installed at ~/bin/clawport (executable, cwd-aware).

Key changes from the temp script:

~/bin/clawport --help shows the full reference. Smoke-tested --list and --session 9ea9b315 from this worktree's cwd — both work without further flags.

👤 User — 2026-05-01 12:57

╰─➤ clawport --format html --all-active --out-dir transcript-output

This is slow - probably summarizeation - can we have progress output? Can we maybe parallelise?

🤖 Assistant — 2026-05-01 12:57

Smoke-test on a small project (we already cached the myproject summaries, so those should be near-instant; let me clear cache for one to actually exercise the API path):

28 sessions in 6.0 s (vs ~3 minutes previously) — about 30× faster. Each finished session prints [N/total] elapsed ✓ filename so progress is visible. Default is 8 parallel workers; tune with --workers N.

Cache is shared and lock-protected, so re-running on the same project will be near-instant (no API calls). Errors per file are caught and shown with ✗ prefix without aborting the rest.

Re-run your command:

clawport --format html --all-active --out-dir transcript-output

👤 User — 2026-05-01 14:13

Please make clawport an open source project in ~/opensource and prep it for a release on github. Please push to a new github repo (make sure all actions performed as alexspeller, unset github api token env var if necessary)

Make the repo private for now, ping me to review when done before we make public, and review for any info leakage in current state and make sure nothign in git history

🤖 Assistant — 2026-05-01 14:13

Now write README, LICENSE, .gitignore. Let me write a strong README first.

Now scan the script one more time for any local-path / personal-info leakage before committing:

Clean — no secrets, only the env-var names in docs and alexspeller in the README clone URL and LICENSE (intentional). Initialise git, commit, create private repo, push:

Pushed and notified. https://github.com/alexspeller/clawport is private, owned by alexspeller.

Repo contents (single commit, clean history):

Info-leakage review:

Things worth a manual eyeball before flipping to public:

  1. README tone/claims — particularly the "Privacy" section (accurate to the code, but worth your read).
  2. The clone URL in the README assumes https://github.com/alexspeller/clawport.git — that's the real path so once public it'll work; private clones over HTTPS need auth which is fine to mention but I haven't.
  3. LICENSE year is 2026 (matches the system clock); change if you want a different convention.
  4. Whether MIT is the licence you want or if you'd prefer Apache-2.0 / BSD-3.

Ping me with any tweaks; I'll iterate before you make it public.

👤 User — 2026-05-01 14:25

Please make the tool include a summary of the conversation at the top - a list of the things it talks about, key things the user asked for etc

🤖 Assistant — 2026-05-01 14:26

Now add the cache record helpers, the overview API call, and longer input text. Let me find the relevant spots:

Now update export_one to embed an overview, and the --all-active worker to fetch and pass it. First find where export_one lives:

Now wire the parallel worker to fetch slug+overview from the migrated cache, and update cmd_session:

Update the help docstring and README to mention the new behaviour:

Update the installed copy at ~/bin/clawport:

Now smoke-test on a single session (uses cache so the slug is free; only the summary call goes to the API):

Summary block renders at the top with topic line + "What the user asked for" + "Key outcomes". Commit and push:

Pushed. Quick verification with the conversation we're in right now (this session) — the summary should describe the build of clawport itself:

The summary block is genuinely useful — it captured the entire arc of this build accurately, including the privacy/repo-prep step and the summary feature itself.

Pushed in commit 5f18fb2:

Re-run your earlier command to regenerate the bulk export with summaries — the slugs will hit the cache, only the summary call goes to the API per session, and the parallel pool handles them as before.

👤 User — 2026-05-01 14:34

Please update styling of summary segment to differentiate from the reset

Please update styling of summary segment to differentiate from the rest

🤖 Assistant — 2026-05-01 14:35

Now the post-processing in md_to_html_doc to wrap the summary block:

Wrapped cleanly. Open it briefly to render-check:

Commit and push:

Pushed (35e4482). The summary block now reads as a distinct warm-sand card with:

Distinct from the blue User band and purple Assistant band, and from the yellow slash-command lines, so the visual hierarchy is now clearly summary card → conversation turns.

Re-running --all-active will regenerate every export with the new styling. Slug + summary are already cached, so it'll be fast.

Open /tmp/test-summary.html to eyeball; let me know if you want different palette / bullet style / spacing.
