Resolves #38

Markdown output is great for certain workflows. This PR adds a --markdown flag to the local, json, and web commands.

  • --open with --markdown opens the file in $EDITOR/$VISUAL (falls back to click.launch())
  • --gist with --markdown uploads the .md file to GitHub Gist (GitHub renders it natively, so no preview URL needed)

The user is asking about setting up the repo for local development. Let me check what's in the repo to understand the project structure and setup.

(eval):1: command not found: uv

Assistant

That's the issue — uv isn't installed. This project uses uv as its package manager. To get set up:

1. Install uv:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Or via Homebrew:

brew install uv

2. Sync dependencies:

uv sync

This will create a .venv, install Python (if needed), and install all dependencies including dev ones.

3. Verify it works:

uv run pytest
uv run claude-code-transcripts --help

Would you like me to run the install for you?

Perfect! Here's a comprehensive guide to installing uv using asdf:

## Summary

Yes, there is an official asdf plugin for uv! The [asdf-community/asdf-uv](https://github.com/asdf-community/asdf-uv) plugin is maintained and allows you to install and manage uv versions through asdf, just like you would with other development tools.

## Installation Steps

1. **Add the asdf-uv plugin:**
   ```bash
   asdf plugin add uv
   ```
   
   Or explicitly specify the repository:
   ```bash
   asdf plugin add uv https://github.com/asdf-community/asdf-uv.git
   ```

2. **List available versions:**
   ```bash
   asdf list all uv
   ```

3. **Install a specific version:**
   ```bash
   asdf install uv latest
   ```
   
   Or install a specific version number:
   ```bash
   asdf install uv 0.4.0
   ```

4. **Set the version globally:**
   ```bash
   asdf global uv latest
   ```
   
   Or for a local project only:
   ```bash
   asdf local uv latest
   ```

5. **Verify installation:**
   ```bash
   uv --version
   ```

## System Requirements

The asdf-uv plugin requires:
- bash
- curl
- tar
- POSIX utilities

These are standard on most Unix-like systems including macOS and Linux.

## Benefits

Using asdf to manage uv allows you to:
- Manage uv versions alongside other development tools
- Specify uv as part of your project's tool requirements
- Switch between different uv versions easily
- Use per-project version specifications via `.tool-versions` file

- [asdf-community/asdf-uv GitHub Repository](https://github.com/asdf-community/asdf-uv)
- [uv Official Documentation](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)

Yes! There's an official asdf plugin for it:

asdf plugin add uv
asdf install uv latest
asdf global uv latest

Then verify with uv --version, and you should be good to run uv sync in the project.


…cktick breakage

When tool results or file contents contain triple backticks, the
markdown fences would nest and break formatting. The new _md_fence()
helper scans content for backtick runs and uses a longer fence.
When --open (or auto-open) is used with --markdown, the generated
markdown file is opened in $EDITOR/$VISUAL, falling back to the
system default application via click.launch().
Popen launches the editor detached without a proper TTY connection,
causing garbled escape sequences in terminal editors like neovim.
subprocess.run inherits the parent's terminal and blocks until the
editor exits, which is the expected behavior.
Previously --gist was silently ignored when combined with --markdown.
Now all three commands (local, json, web) upload the markdown file as
a GitHub Gist and output the gist URL. No preview URL is needed since
GitHub renders markdown natively.
- Have generate_markdown delegate to generate_markdown_from_session_data
- Remove unused github_repo auto-detection from markdown generation
- Extract _handle_markdown_output to replace triplicated CLI output blocks
- Remove redundant `import re` in _md_fence (already at module level)
- Fix open_in_editor to use shlex.split for editors with args (e.g. "code --wait")
- Fix VISUAL/EDITOR priority to follow POSIX convention
