📤 export_conversation

Export Claude Code conversations with advanced filtering:

• projectPath (required): Project directory path
• outputDir: Output directory (default: ./claude-prompts)
• exportMode: "prompts", "full", or "outputs"
• exportFormat: "markdown", "json", or "both"
• period: Time filter (e.g., "7d", "2w", "3m", "1y")
• periodGroup: Group by "d", "w", "m", or "y"
• nested: Create nested directory structure
• verbose: Enable detailed logging

Example: "Export my project at /path/to/project with period 7d and nested structure"

📊 aggregate_sessions

Aggregate sessions across multiple projects:

• claudeHome: Claude home directory (auto-detected)
• outputDir: Output directory (default: ./aggregated-prompts)
• includeStats: Include detailed statistics
• groupBy: "project", "date", or "none"
• bothDirs: Process both Claude directories
• period: Time filter (e.g., "7d", "2w", "3m")
• verbose: Enable detailed logging

Example: "Aggregate all my Claude sessions from the last 2 weeks with bothDirs enabled"

📋 list_sessions

List available Claude sessions with metadata:

• projectPath: Specific project (optional, lists all if omitted)
• claudeHome: Claude home directory (auto-detected)
• bothDirs: List from both Claude directories
• period: Time filter (e.g., "7d", "2w", "3m")
• verbose: Include detailed session information

Example: "List all my Claude sessions from the last 7 days with verbose details"

🔧 Programmatic API

const ClaudePromptExporter = require('claude-code-exporter');

// Basic usage
const exporter = new ClaudePromptExporter('/path/to/project');
const result = await exporter.export('./output');

// With options
const exporter = new ClaudePromptExporter('/path/to/project', {
  exportMode: ClaudePromptExporter.ExportMode.FULL_CONVERSATION,
  exportFormat: ClaudePromptExporter.ExportFormat.BOTH,
  aggregate: true,
  period: '7d',
  periodGroup: 'd'
});

// Aggregate multiple projects
const result = await exporter.aggregate('./aggregated-output');

⚙️ Configuration

Requirements

• Node.js: v20.0.0 or higher (required for MCP server)
• Claude Code: Installed with sessions in standard directories

Environment

• CLAUDE_HOME - Override Claude home directory
• AGGREGATE_NESTED=true - Default to nested structure
• AGGREGATE_BOTH=true - Process both directories by default

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• "No Claude sessions found" → Check project path matches Claude usage
• "No sessions with [type] found" → Try --full mode
• Multiple directories detected → Use --claude-home to specify
• Period validation error → Ensure period group ≤ period range

Debug Mode

claude-prompts --verbose /path/to/project
