Chats and multi-vendor import
Continue multi-turn conversations and import transcripts from Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Qwen, and Antigravity.
On this page
clai stores conversation threads as JSON under ~/.config/clai/conversations/ so you can resume, branch, or inspect any chat from the terminal.
Replying and continuing threads
-r(-reply): Prepends the previous query response to your next prompt.-c(-continue): Continues the active conversation thread for your current working directory (or the global conversation when paired with-cg).
clai q "Design a PostgreSQL table for webhook deliveries"
clai -c q "Add an index for pending retries and show the migration SQL"
Managing saved conversations
Use clai chat (shorthand c) to list, continue, or delete saved conversations:
clai chat list
clai chat continue 0
clai chat delete 0
Importing transcripts from external coding agents
clai can discover and continue conversation transcripts created by other coding agents on your machine, including:
- Claude Code and Codex (
claudextranscript sources) - OpenCode
- Gemini CLI
- Qwen
- Antigravity
Run clai chat list or clai chat continue to browse local and external conversations, import a thread into clai, and continue it with any configured model vendor. See Multi-vendor transcripts for how transcript normalization works.
