This retrieves the full user/assistant message transcript from the conversation history database. ## Usage The user will provide a conversation ID (UUID) in one of these formats: - "load conversation abc123-def456-..." - "show me conversation abc123" - "show me that conversation" (when ID was mentioned previously) ## Instructions 1. Extract the conversation UUID from the user's request. It should be a UUID-like string (with or without dashes). 2. Run the load command: ```bash bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/load-conversation/scripts/load.sh --id "CONVERSATION_UUID" ``` Replace `CONVERSATION_UUID` with the actual conversation ID from the user's request. 3. Present the conversation transcript to the user in a readable format. 4. If the conversation is not found, inform the user and suggest: - Verifying the conversation ID - Using the conversation search skill to find the correct ID ## Output The transcript will show: - Conversation metadata (ID, project, dates) - Full message history with USER and CLAUDE labels - Timestamps for each message This allows the user to review past discussions and use them as context for the current conversation. --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/dhughes) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
