Claude Code transcript extraction captures critical decision context¶
Insight: Claude Code transcripts capture critical project context — what was asked, what was suggested, decisions made, and Claude's justification for implementation choices. Willison built claude-code-transcripts (Python CLI) to convert sessions to shareable HTML, including normally-invisible thinking traces. He reports writing more code via Claude Code on his phone than on his laptop, calling it "a truly science fiction way of working."
Detail: The tool supports both local Claude Code sessions and Claude Code for web (via reverse-engineered API). Willison notes that the "work" of programming is now increasingly represented by these conversations rather than traditional code comments or issue discussions. The tool addresses a growing need for decision documentation in AI-assisted development workflows.
