Problem Statement
Feature Request
The /export command currently ignores file extensions and always outputs .txt files.
Current behavior:
/export conversation.md→ exports toconversation.txt/export conversation.json→ exports toconversation.txt
Proposed Solution
Desired behavior:
Support exporting to different formats based on file extension:
.md- Markdown (content is already markdown-formatted, just preserve it).json- Structured JSON with messages, timestamps, tool calls.html- Rendered HTML for sharing/viewing in browser
Alternative Solutions
Workaround:
Currently requires manually renaming: mv conversation.txt conversation.md
This would be a small quality-of-life improvement since Claude's responses already use markdown formatting.
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful
