“ Ultimately, I want to see full session transcripts, but we don't have enough tool support for that broadly.”

I have a side project, git-prompt-story to attach Claude Vode session in GitHub git notes. Though it is not that simple to do automatic (e.g. i need to redact credentials).

I've thought about saving my prompts along with project development and even done it by hand a few times, but eventually I realized I don't really get much value from doing so. Are there good reasons to do it?

For me it's increasingly the work. I spend more time in Claude Code going back and forth with the agent than I do in my text editor hacking on the code by hand. Those transcripts ARE the work I've been doing. I want to save them in the same way that I archive my notes and issues and other ephemera around my projects.

My latest attempt at this is https://github.com/simonw/claude-code-transcripts which produces output like the is: https://gisthost.github.io/?c75bf4d827ea4ee3c325625d24c6cd86...

Right, I get that writing prompts is "the work", but if you run them again you don't get the same code. So what's the point of keeping them? They are not 'source code' in the same sense as a programming language.

>>radars+WB
That's why I want the transcript that shows the prompts AND the responses. The prompts alone have little value. The overall conversation shows me exactly what I did, what the agent did and the end result.

> shows me exactly what I did

I get that, but I guess what I'm asking is, why does it matter what you did?

The result is working, documented source code, which seems to me to be the important part. What value does keeping the prompt have?

I'm not trying to needle, I just don't see it.

It's like issues in that it helps me record why I had the agent solve problems in a particular way.

It's also great for improving my prompting skills over time - I can go back and see what worked.
