cc-transcriptlisted

Distill a native Claude Code session transcript into a compact, line-addressable capsule for handoff to another model, for code review, or for archival. Use when a session is too long to re-read or to resume, when context must be carried into a fresh session or an external LLM, or when the user asks to compact, capsule, distill, or hand off a transcript. Invokes the installed cc-transcript CLI.

# cc-transcript — transcript distillation for handoff and review ## When to use - A session is long enough that resuming it costs real money, and what is actually needed is its *conclusions* plus addressable evidence — not its full text. - Context must move somewhere else: a fresh session, another model, or a review workflow. - An interrupted session needs a durable record of what it established. ## What it produces Two artifacts per session, written to `~/.claude/compacted-sessions` unless `-o` says otherwise: - `<base>.indexed_capsule.md` — the primary handoff: chronology, context, and decisions, with line addresses pointing back into the source JSONL. - `<base>.compact.jsonl.txt` — the evidence layer: structurally transformed, line-addressable. Compaction is **semantic and structural, not byte-for-byte lossless**. The original JSONL stays the authoritative raw evidence — never delete it on the strength of a capsule. ## Invocation ```sh cc-transcript # interactive picker (needs a TTY) cc-transcript --current # the CURRENTLY RUNNING session, no TTY required cc-transcript <path.jsonl> # an explicit transcript cc-transcript --current -o /tmp/out ``` Run `cc-transcript --help` for the full flag set before reaching for anything not listed here. Two flags matter more than the rest: - `--current` resolves the running session without a TTY. **Prefer it whenever the choice of session is already known** — the bare picker needs a terminal and
