Quick Export
To export the current session as Markdown:
python3 scripts/export_session.py --markdown
To export a past session by session key:
python3 scripts/export_session.py agent:main:main --format markdown
To export a Hermes session:
python3 scripts/export_session.py agent:hermes:main --format markdown
How It Works
- Fetch the session transcript via OpenClaw API or file system
- Pass it through ChatPipe (auto-detects format)
- Save the output to the workspace
The helper script scripts/export_session.py wraps both the data extraction
and ChatPipe conversion into a single command.
When to Use
| User says | Do this |
|---|---|
| "导出这段聊天" | Export current session as Markdown |
| "保存到Obsidian" | Export to Markdown, tell user where the file is |
| "backup my AI chats" | Export all recent sessions as Markdown batch |
| "convert to JSON" | Export current session as chatgpt-json |
| "导出和Akira的对话" | Find Hermes session, export as Markdown |
Output Location
Exported files are saved to the workspace root with descriptive names:
session-{key}-{date}.md
Never delete or move exported files unless the user explicitly asks.
