18:32:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] feat: enhance transcript system with full rehydration and CLI management Implement comprehensive transcript management system that preserves full conversation context across compaction events. The system now captures all content types (3.5x improvement) and provides seamless restoration through a simple /transcripts command. Key improvements: - Enhanced PreCompact hook captures all message types (tool usage, thinking blocks) - Pure CLI transcript_manager.py tool outputs directly to stdout for context injection - Simplified /transcripts slash command with natural language understanding - Makefile integration for transcript management (list, search, restore, export) - Automatic duplicate detection prevents re-embedding loaded transcripts - Refactored to follow ruthless simplicity principle - no unnecessary file operations The transcript content now flows directly into conversation context when restored, eliminating the need for intermediate file management. This makes post-compaction continuation seamless - users can instantly restore their entire conversation history with a single command. Technical details: - Removed NaturalLanguageInterpreter from CLI tool (moved to agent layer) - Changed from symlinks to direct content output for context injection - Added session tracking to prevent duplicate transcript embedding - Updated documentation to reflect new capabilities This resolves the critical issue where compaction would lose important context, making it difficult to continue complex work. Now users never lose their conversation history and can pick up exactly where they left off. --- .claude/README.md | 5 + .claude/commands/transcripts.md | 114 ++++++++++++ .claude/tools/hook_precompact.py | 89 ++++++++- Makefile | 31 ++++ README.md | 28 +++ tools/transcript_manager.py | 301 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 565 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 .claude/commands/transcripts.md create mode 100644 tools/transcript_manager.py diff --git a/.claude/README.md b/.claude/README.md index 56e17a52..32cbac87 100644 --- a/.claude/README.md +++ b/.claude/README.md @@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ The `commands/` directory contains markdown files that define custom workflows: - Each `.md` file becomes a slash command in Claude Code - Commands can orchestrate complex multi-step processes - They encode best practices and methodologies +- Key commands include `/transcripts` for restoring conversation history after compaction ### Automation Tools @@ -39,6 +40,8 @@ The `tools/` directory contains scripts that integrate with Claude Code: - `notify.sh` - Cross-platform desktop notifications - `make-check.sh` - Intelligent quality check runner - `subagent-logger.py` - Logs interactions with sub-agents +- `hook_precompact.py` - Exports conversation transcripts before compaction +- `transcript_manager.py` - CLI tool for managing conversation transcripts - Triggered by hooks defined in `settings.json` ### Configuration @@ -59,6 +62,8 @@ The `tools/` directory contains scripts that integrate with Claude Code: 4.
