Night Market Skill — ported from claude-night-market/scribe. For the full experience with agents, hooks, and commands, install the Claude Code plugin.

Session Replay

Turn a Claude Code session JSONL file into an animated GIF that plays back the conversation as typed terminal output.

The skill orchestrates three steps: parse the session file into turns, generate a VHS tape from those turns, and hand off to scry for GIF rendering.

When To Use

• Creating demos of development workflows
• Adding visual evidence to pull requests
• Sharing session highlights to Slack or GitHub
• Embedding session replays in tutorials

When NOT To Use

• Writing blog posts from sessions (use scribe:session-to-post)
• Generating API documentation (use scribe:doc-generator)
• Recording live terminal commands (use scry:vhs-recording directly)

Integration Points

Workflow

Step 0: Pick a Session (when no path is provided)

When the user invokes /session-replay without a path argument, use scribe.session_parser.list_sessions() to discover recent session files from ~/.claude/projects/.

The function returns a list of SessionInfo objects sorted by modification time (most recent first), each containing:

• path -- full path to the .jsonl file
• modified -- mtime timestamp
• first_user_message -- preview of the first human message
• turn_count -- number of user turns in the session
• project_name -- parent directory name

Present the list to the user as a numbered menu:

Recent sessions:
 1. [my-project] "implement auth module" (8 turns, 2h ago)
 2. [api-server] "fix rate limiting bug" (3 turns, 5h ago)
 3. [docs-site]  "update installation guide" (12 turns, 1d ago)

Ask the user to pick a number. Use the selected session's path for the remaining steps.

If list_sessions returns an empty list, report that no sessions were found and suggest providing a path directly.

Step 1: Parse the Session

Use scribe.session_parser.parse_session() to read the JSONL file. The parser:

• Extracts user and assistant turns
• Skips sidechain (subagent) records
• Collapses tool calls into readable summaries
• Wraps text at the configured column width
• Truncates long responses at the configured row count

Apply filters based on user options:

• --turns selects specific turn ranges (e.g. 1-5)
• --show controls which layers appear: user, assistant, tools, thinking (thinking is excluded by default)

Step 2: Generate VHS Tape

Use scribe.tape_generator.generate_tape() to convert the parsed turns into a VHS tape file. The generator:
