Claude Code Export Conversation Fixer

Repairs hard-wrapped Claude Code .txt exports by rebuilding tables, paragraphs, paths and tool output.

UtilitiesIntermediate★ 1,414⑂ 219AI score 9/10Last updated: Sep 21, 2026

What it does

Claude Code exports (YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS-*.txt) are hard-wrapped at a fixed column width, which shatters table borders, splits file paths mid-token and chops paragraphs into fragments. This skill runs bundled Python scripts to:

  • Rejoin 10 content types — user prompts (❯), Claude responses (●), tool results (⎿), plan text, agent trees
  • Rebuild box-drawing table borders and re-pad cells with pipe-count tracking
  • Apply pangu spacing between Latin characters and CJK ideographs
  • Reconnect broken identifiers and paths (BASE_ + URL, documents + /05-team)
  • Run a 53-check validation suite comparing input and output

The original file is never modified; marker counts are verified and runaway joins over 500 display columns raise a warning.

Who it's for

  • Anyone archiving or sharing Claude Code session logs with a team
  • Writers turning exported sessions into blog posts, retros or technical docs
  • Heavy users of long sessions packed with tables and tool output

Examples

  1. Ask "make this exported conversation readable" — the script runs with --stats, reporting ~20-25% fewer lines and 80+ table borders repaired.
  2. Run the validation suite on the before/after pair; investigate any failing check before handing the file over.
  3. On mixed English/CJK logs, Portal都需要 is corrected to Portal 都需要 for readability.
