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 (claudex transcript 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.
