terminal-discussion-export_skill

Overview

This skill exports TriClaude terminal session content to Google Drive as clean Markdown files for archiving or sharing. It preserves the original line order, strips ANSI/control escape noise, and updates a project-level rolling "latest" file. Use it when you need an exact, readable capture of a terminal discussion saved under your Drive workspace.

How this skill works

The script reads the TriClaude runtime stream.log for a specified terminal id, removes control/ANSI escape sequences, and writes the ordered text to a timestamped Markdown file under the configured Drive export root. It also updates a project-level latest_<terminal-suffix>.md file and prints JSON that includes exportFile and latestFile paths for confirmation. The tool accepts options for number of lines, a short note header, and a custom output root.

When to use it

• Save or archive a terminal discussion after a long troubleshooting session.
• Share a reproducible terminal transcript with teammates or for documentation.
• Capture an exact record before restarting or destroying a terminal instance.
• Maintain a searchable, chronological record of terminal activity per project.
• Quickly export the most recent N lines for postmortem analysis.

Best practices

• Prefer the TC_TERMINAL_ID environment variable; fallback script lists project terminals if unknown.
• Export from live stream.log only; do not edit or synthesize transcript content.
• Specify an appropriate --lines value to avoid truncation or oversized files.
• Add a concise --note when the export needs context or a decision summary.
• Keep default output root unless you explicitly need a different Drive path.
• Verify the printed JSON and returned exportFile path to confirm success.

Example use cases

• Archive a debugging session for a bug report and attach the exported Markdown to the ticket.
• Export the last 1800 lines before handing a project to another engineer.
• Add a short note and export a CI troubleshooting session for retrospective review.
• Produce a timestamped record for compliance or audit of important terminal operations.
• Save a reproducible transcript to include in project documentation under the project subfolder.
