 "title": "Inspect a native transcript before migrating it",
 "page_title": "How to inspect a native transcript before migrating it with Session Migrate",
 "summary": "Check a session file's structure without printing its conversation.",
 "who": "A developer who wants to confirm a transcript is valid and see what it holds before moving it to another client.",
 "problem": "Opening a raw session file to check it risks exposing private conversation text on screen or in logs.",
 "outcome": "A summary of the transcript's structure printed to the terminal, with no conversation text shown, so the developer can decide whether to migrate it.",
 "steps": [
  "Install the CLI with `uv tool install session-migrate`.",
  "Locate the native transcript file in the source client's data folder.",
  "Run `smigrate inspect ~/.claude/projects/-work/SESSION.jsonl`, replacing the path with your file.",
  "Review the output and decide whether to run a transfer."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the xhluca/session-migrate repo to inspect the native transcript at <PATH TO TRANSCRIPT> with `smigrate inspect`. Report the structural summary the command prints. Verify that the output does not print conversation text.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README describes inspect as showing a native transcript without printing its conversation, but it does not list every field the summary contains, so check the CLI reference for details.",

 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "Linux with Python 3.11+ (the README lists these as the currently supported platform)",
  "uv or pipx to install the CLI",
  "A native session file from the source client, such as a Claude Code JSONL transcript",
  "The target client installed locally, for example Codex, to resume the migrated session"
