csctf <url> --publish-to-gh-pages --gh-pages-branch main --gh-pages-dir exports --yes

# Remember settings for future runs
csctf <url> --publish-to-gh-pages --remember --yes

# Then just use --yes for subsequent runs
csctf <url> --yes

# Clear remembered settings
csctf --forget-gh-pages

# Dry run (build index without pushing)
csctf <url> --publish-to-gh-pages --dry-run

How do I sort an array in Python?

## Assistant

Here's how to sort an array in Python:

```python
# Sort in place
my_list.sort()

# Return new sorted list
sorted_list = sorted(my_list)

### HTML Features

- Standalone (no external dependencies)
- Zero JavaScript
- Inline CSS with light/dark mode support
- Syntax highlighting via highlight.js (inline)
- Table of contents
- Print-friendly styles
- Language badges on code blocks

## Filename Generation

Filenames are automatically generated from conversation titles:
- Lowercased
- Non-alphanumerics → `_`
- Trimmed, max 120 chars
- Collision handling: `_2`, `_3`, etc.

Examples:

"How to Build a REST API" → how_to_build_a_rest_api.md "Python Tips & Tricks!" → python_tips_tricks.md

## Clawdbot Workflows

### "Save this ChatGPT conversation"

User: Can you save this conversation? https://chatgpt.com/share/abc123...

Clawdbot: Uses csctf to download and convert csctf "https://chatgpt.com/share/abc123..." --outfile ~/Documents/chats/

### "Archive all my shared chats"

```bash
# Save multiple conversations
csctf https://chatgpt.com/share/abc... --outfile ~/archive/
csctf https://gemini.google.com/share/xyz... --outfile ~/archive/
csctf https://claude.ai/share/def... --outfile ~/archive/

"Publish to my blog"

csctf https://chatgpt.com/share/abc... \
  --publish-to-gh-pages \
  --gh-pages-repo myuser/ai-conversations \
  --yes

"Quick export for reference"

# Just get the markdown, skip HTML
csctf https://chatgpt.com/share/abc... --md-only --quiet

Performance Notes

• First run: Downloads Playwright Chromium (~200MB, cached)
• Subsequent runs: 5-15 seconds depending on conversation length
• Claude.ai: Uses your installed Chrome (bypasses Cloudflare)

Claude.ai Special Handling

Claude.ai uses Cloudflare protection. csctf handles this by:

1. Copying your Chrome session cookies to a temp profile
2. Launching Chrome with remote debugging
3. Extracting conversation via Chrome DevTools Protocol

Requirements:

• Chrome installed
• Logged into claude.ai in your regular Chrome session
• If Chrome is running, tool will offer to save tabs, restart, and restore

Troubleshooting

File Locations

• Config: ~/.config/csctf/config.json (GitHub Pages settings)
• Playwright cache: ~/.cache/ms-playwright/
• Output: Current directory (or --outfile path)

Requirements

• Bun 1.3+ or prebuilt binary
• macOS, Linux, or Windows
• Chrome (for Claude.ai shares only)
• GitHub CLI (gh) for publishing (optional)
