🔧 Technical Details

Robust Element Detection

The script uses multiple CSS selectors to find conversation elements, making it resilient to Claude.ai UI updates:

const selectors = [
    '[data-testid*="message"]',
    '[class*="message"]', 
    '.col-start-2',
    '[role="presentation"] > div > div'
];

Smart Content Cleaning

Automatically removes unwanted elements while preserving conversation content:

• SVG icons and images
• UI buttons and controls
• Hidden accessibility elements
• Navigation elements

Auto-Scroll Technology

Forces complete conversation loading before export:

• Scrolls to top to load older messages
• Waits for content to fully load
• Processes in batches to avoid memory issues
• Shows progress notifications during loading

File Naming Convention

Files are automatically named with timestamps and message counts:

claude-FULL-conversation-156msgs-2025-05-26T14-30-45.md

🎨 Customization

The script can be easily customized by modifying the CONFIG object:

const CONFIG = {
    buttonText: 'Export Full',      // Button text
    formats: ['txt', 'md', 'json'], // Available formats
    defaultFormat: 'md',            // Default selection
    includeTimestamps: true,        // Include timestamps
    includeMetadata: true,          // Include conversation metadata
    autoScroll: true,               // Auto-scroll to load full conversation
    debug: true                     // Enable debug logging
};

🐛 Troubleshooting

Export button not appearing?

• Make sure your userscript manager is enabled
• Check that the script is active on claude.ai
• Refresh the page

Empty or incomplete exports?

• Ensure you have an active conversation
• Try scrolling through the full conversation first
• Check browser console for debug messages
• Use the "Debug Info" button to see what the script detects

UI looks different?

• Claude.ai occasionally updates their interface
• The script uses multiple selectors for compatibility
• File an issue if exports stop working

Auto-scroll not working?

• Check console for error messages
• Try disabling auto-scroll in CONFIG if needed
• Some conversations may be too long for auto-loading
