Export Gist
Export your Claude Code conversation to a GitHub Gist for sharing and archiving.
When to Use
- Sharing a conversation with others
- Creating a shareable record of your work
- Archiving important problem-solving sessions
- Documenting debugging or design discussions
Prerequisites
ghCLI installed and authenticated with GitHub- Active Claude Code project (conversation JSONL files in
~/.claude/projects/)
Workflow
The skill provides a Python script that exports your conversation. When invoked, it will:
- Find your project's conversation directory (encoded path in
~/.claude/projects/) - Locate the conversation JSONL file (most recent or specified by session ID)
- Convert to readable markdown with metadata
- Upload to GitHub as a gist
- Return the shareable gist URL
You can pass an optional session ID to export a specific conversation, or it will use the most recent one.
Examples
The skill runs the export script directly. When invoked, you'll see output like:
Converting session: abc123def456
Gist created: https://gist.github.com/not-matthias/xyz789...
To export a specific session, provide the session ID to the script.
How It Works
- Finds the conversation directory for your project (encoded path in
~/.claude/projects/) - Locates the conversation file (JSONL format) - either the most recent or specified by session ID
- Extracts messages, filtering out tool results and sidechain messages
- Converts to readable markdown with metadata (session ID, project, branch, start time)
- Uploads to GitHub as a public gist using
gh gist create - Returns the gist URL
Common Issues
"No conversation directory found"
- Ensure you're in the correct project directory where you started Claude Code
- The script uses
CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIRenvironment variable or current working directory
"No conversations found"
- The project has no conversation history yet
- Run a Claude Code session first, then export
"gh: command not found"
- Install the GitHub CLI:
nix-shell -p ghor your package manager - Authenticate with:
gh auth login
"Error creating gist"
- Verify GitHub CLI is authenticated:
gh auth status - Check internet connection
- Review the error message for GitHub API details
Tips
- Exports are public gists by default (GitHub gists are public unless you have GitHub Pro)
- Session IDs are the filename of the JSONL file without extension
- Tool calls are summarized compactly (bash commands, file paths) for readability
- Tool results and thinking blocks are omitted to keep gists concise
