Claude.ai Web Conversation Extractor
Exports the complete transcript of any claude.ai chat or share link — tool calls, attachments and all — into local Markdown with a lossless-render guarantee.

What it does
- Pulls the full transcript of both private
claude.ai/chat/...and publicclaude.ai/share/...conversations. - Runs JavaScript inside your logged-in Chrome so
fetchinherits the session cookie — sidestepping the Cloudflare 403 that kills curl/WebFetch and the virtual-scrolling problem that makes DOM scraping return only the last message. - Requests
render_all_tools=trueso thinking blocks, tool calls and search results survive, then renders locally to Markdown (Obsidian callouts by default, HTML<details>optional) with a table of contents. - Fidelity gate: audits characters in the raw payload against what the renderer emitted, per item, and exits 2 rather than writing a transcript that quietly lost 95% of the content.
- Inventories and downloads uploads, assistant images and sandbox deliverables through the correct endpoint families, so a text-only export isn't mistaken for a full archive.
Who it's for
- Anyone archiving long research or agent conversations from Claude web.
- Obsidian / knowledge-base users who keep transcripts as notes.
- People who need to read or summarize a share link someone sent them.
- Prerequisites: Chrome (macOS for the AppleScript fallback),
uvinstalled, and a Chrome session signed into the right account.
Examples
- "Read this Claude conversation and list the decisions" — fetches the full payload first, then summarizes.
- "Archive this conversation locally" — writes
transcript.mdplus a sibling attachments folder with the images/spreadsheets it references. - A share link that turns out to be yours — the skill re-exports from the original conversation (share snapshots are strictly lossier) and discloses any platform-stripped gaps in the header.
