SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ingest Claude Code session transcripts, extract the core content (user messages, assistant text, and tool-use calls), and encrypt each session with age for safe storage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Ingest transcripts from the monorepo's local transcripts at ~/.claude/projects and extract user and assistant messages, thinking blocks, and tool-use calls while discarding bulky results.
  • Output one encrypted .jsonl.age file per session into data/sessions/content/ for safe archival.
  • Use case: A maintainer wants a private, searchable archive of session content without exposing tool outputs.

Quick Start

Run the extraction tool to ingest all sessions from ~/.claude/projects and output encrypted per-session .jsonl.age files under data/sessions/content/.

Do I need age encryption to store extracted Claude Code session content locally?▼

Age encryption is used to securely store extracted Claude Code session content locally, outputting encrypted .jsonl.age files into a designated data directory to protect sensitive data during archival.

Where does the extracted Claude Code session content get stored after encryption?▼

The extracted and encrypted Claude Code session content is stored as individual .jsonl.age files within the data/sessions/content/ directory structure of your monorepo.

What Claude Code session data is preserved during the transcript extraction process?▼

The transcript extraction process preserves core content including user messages, assistant text, thinking blocks, and tool-use calls, while specifically excluding bulky tool results from the output.
