Claude Parser v2.0.0 🚀

Git-like disaster recovery for Claude Code conversations

Claude Parser treats every Claude API call as a git commit, enabling powerful recovery and analysis capabilities when things go wrong.

🎉 What's New in v2.0.0

Major Changes

• 🎯 Complete API Redesign - Clean, intuitive Python API with 30+ functions
• 📚 15 Domain Architecture - Organized into focused, composable modules
• 🔧 CG Commands - Full Git-like CLI for disaster recovery
• 🪝 CH Hook System - Composable hooks for Claude Code integrations
• 📊 DuckDB Backend - Efficient JSONL querying without intermediate storage
• 🏗️ LNCA Compliant - Every file <80 LOC, 100% framework delegation
• 📖 Full Documentation - Complete API reference, user guides, and examples

Breaking Changes from v1

• New import structure: from claude_parser import load_session (not from claude_parser.main)
• Removed god objects - now uses focused domain modules
• All functions return plain dicts, not custom objects
• Pydantic schema normalization handles all JSONL variations

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

pip install claude-parser

Basic Usage

from claude_parser import load_latest_session, analyze_session

# Load your most recent Claude session
session = load_latest_session()
print(f"Found session with {len(session['messages'])} messages")

# Analyze the session
analysis = analyze_session(session)
print(f"Total tokens: {analysis['total_tokens']}")
print(f"Estimated cost: ${analysis['estimated_cost']:.2f}")

Disaster Recovery with CG Commands

# Oh no! Claude deleted important files!
python -m claude_parser.cli.cg find "important_file.py"

# Found it! Now restore it
python -m claude_parser.cli.cg checkout /path/to/important_file.py

# See what happened
python -m claude_parser.cli.cg reflog

# Jump back to before the disaster
python -m claude_parser.cli.cg reset abc123

🎯 Core Features

Git-like Commands (CG)

• cg status - Current session state
• cg log - Conversation history
• cg find <pattern> - Search across all sessions
• cg blame <file> - Who last modified a file
• cg checkout <file> - Restore deleted files
• cg reflog - Operation history
• cg show <uuid> - Operation details
• cg reset <uuid> - Time travel to any point

Composable Hooks (CH)

# Run hooks with custom executors
python -m claude_parser.cli.ch run --executor my_executor

# Or set default executor
export CLAUDE_HOOK_EXECUTOR=my_executor

Python SDK

from claude_parser import (
    # Session Management
    load_session, load_latest_session, discover_all_sessions,

    # Analytics
    analyze_session, analyze_tool_usage, analyze_token_usage,
    calculate_session_cost, calculate_context_window,

    # File Operations
    restore_file_content, generate_file_diff, compare_files,

    # Navigation
    find_message_by_uuid, get_message_sequence, get_timeline_summary,

    # Discovery
    discover_claude_files, discover_current_project_files,

    # Filtering (NEW in v2!)
    filter_messages_by_type, filter_messages_by_tool,
    search_messages_by_content, exclude_tool_operations
)

📊 Real-World Use Cases

1. Disaster Recovery

from claude_parser import load_latest_session, restore_file_content

session = load_latest_session()
content = restore_file_content("/deleted/important.py", session)
with open("recovered.py", "w") as f:
    f.write(content)

2. Cost Analysis

from claude_parser import load_latest_session, calculate_session_cost

session = load_latest_session()
cost = calculate_session_cost(
    input_tokens=100000,
    output_tokens=50000,
    model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"
)
print(f"This session cost: ${cost['total_cost']:.2f}")

3. Message Filtering

from claude_parser import load_latest_session, MessageType
from claude_parser.filtering import filter_messages_by_type

session = load_latest_session()
user_messages = filter_messages_by_type(session['messages'], MessageType.USER)
print(f"You sent {len(user_messages)} messages")

4. Real-time Monitoring

from claude_parser.watch import watch

def on_assistant(message):
    print(f"Claude says: {message['content'][:100]}...")

watch("~/.claude/projects/current/session.jsonl", on_assistant=on_assistant)

LNCA Principles

• <80 LOC per file - Optimized for LLM comprehension
• 100% Framework Delegation - No custom loops or error handling
• Single Source of Truth - One file per feature
• Pydantic Everything - Schema normalization for all JSONL variations

🔄 Migration from v1

Old v1 Code

# v1 - Complex imports, god objects
from claude_parser.main import ClaudeParser
parser = ClaudeParser()
parser.load_and_analyze_everything()  # God object doing too much

New v2 Code

# v2 - Clean, focused functions
from claude_parser import load_latest_session, analyze_session
session = load_latest_session()
analysis = analyze_session(session)  # One function, one purpose

Key Differences

1. No more god objects - Each function does one thing well
2. Plain dicts everywhere - No custom classes to learn
3. Explicit imports - Import only what you need
4. Better error handling - Framework delegation (Pydantic/Typer)
5. More features - Filtering, watching, complete hook system
