Chatting with Claude

List conversations:

claude conversations

Allows you to switch to previous conversations you've had with claude.

Create new conversation:

claude new # Claude chooses a name for this conversation
claude new --name "My Project" 

Send a message:

claude chat prompt # Streams to output with markdown using the rich library
claude chat "prompt" --raw # Streams to output without markdown 
claude chat "prompt" > response.md # Streams response to a file

# Sending attachments/files
claude chat "explain @main.py" 
claude chat "explain @src/cli/chat.py and @src/__init__.py"
claude chat "explain @c:\Users\User\OneDrive\Desktop\code\claude-cli\src\cli\chat.py"

** REPL mode:**

# Works just like claude chat except its interactive
claude repl
claude repl --raw

Note: To make uploading files easier add @ then drag and drop the file into your terminal.
Most terminals will support this.

Configure settings:

claude settings

Toggle web search, extended thinking, and artifacts.

Rename conversation:

claude name # Shows the name of the conversation
claude name New Name

Sync conversation:

claude sync

Updates local state with latest messages from web.
⚠️ Important: If you talk to claude on your browser and come back later to the cli and don't sync the conversations it will remove the history up to the last chat claude sent through the cli

Delete current conversation:

claude delete

Get chat history:

claude history # Last 30 messages with rich markdowns
claude history 5 # Last x messages 
claude history --raw # No rich markdowns
claude history > output.md # Redirect to file

Search current conversation:

claude search query # Shows interactively
claude search "query" > results.txt # Redirects all results to a file
claude search "query" -o folder # Creates a folder with text files representing results

Currently this tool only searches for text found in: text, files, coding artifacts
should probably make it search more things later on

Export conversation/s:

claude export # Interactive
claude export this/all/choose js/md directory_name # Dont enter dir name with 'this'

claude --help for a list of commands

• Add conversation search/filter
• Export conversations to markdown/json
• Python API
• REPL mode

Mid Priority

• Styles
• Automatic session gathering maybe with a web driver?
• Clearing chat history
• Incognito mode
• Batch operations (clear all, delete all)

Low priorty

• claude retry
• Show when claude is thinking/seraching/coding
• Prompt input redirection
