Our review
Exports Claude Code session transcripts as navigable Markdown with columnar headings for outline navigation.
Strengths
- Converts JSONL transcripts to well-formatted Markdown with monospace column headings.
- Supports exporting current session or a specific session by partial UUID.
- Output file is placed in the project directory for easy access.
- Headings use underscore padding for alignment in editor outline views.
Limitations
- Only works with Claude Code session transcripts.
- Requires the shan CLI to be installed and configured (bun script).
- Output format is fixed; no customization options mentioned.
When you need to review, analyze, or share a Claude Code session transcript in a readable Markdown format.
When you need to export raw JSONL data or when the session transcript is not from Claude Code.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill runs a local TypeScript file via bun with a user-provided session identifier. No external downloads, destructive commands, or obfuscation are involved. The script path is hardcoded from the user's own dotfiles, indicating a trusted personal utility.
