+ # claude_converter
30
+
31
+ A zero-dependency Python module for inspecting and converting [Claude Code](https://www.anthropic.com/claude-code) session files (`.jsonl`) into the `messages` format expected by Hugging Face Transformers.
32
+
33
+ Claude Code stores every session as a JSONL file on disk under `~/.claude/projects/<encoded-project-path>/<session-uuid>.jsonl`. Each line is a JSON record containing the full message history — user prompts, assistant responses, tool calls, tool results, and extended thinking blocks. This module parses that format and flattens it into the simple `[{"role": ..., "content": ...}]` list that `tokenizer.apply_chat_template()` consumes directly.
34
+
35
+ ## Why this exists
36
+
37
+ The conversion pipeline has two stages that are often conflated:
38
+
39
+ ```
40
+ Claude Code JSONL → [claude_converter] → messages[] → apply_chat_template() → tokens
41
+ (this module) (transformers handles this)
42
+ ```
43
+
44
+ `apply_chat_template()` handles stage 2 (turning a `messages` list into model-specific token sequences), but it knows nothing about Claude Code's JSONL format. This module handles stage 1.
45
+
46
+ ## Installation
47
+
48
+ ```bash
49
+ uv pip install claude-converter
50
+ ```
51
+
52
+ ## Quick start
53
+
54
+ ```python
55
+ from claude_converter import session_to_messages
56
+
57
+ messages = session_to_messages("path/to/session.jsonl")
58
+ ```
59
+
60
+ `messages` is ready for `apply_chat_template()`.
61
+
62
+ ## API reference
63
+
64
+ ### `load_session(path)`
65
+
66
+ Loads a Claude Code `.jsonl` file and returns the raw list of record dicts — one per line.
67
+
68
+ ```python
69
+ from claude_converter import load_session
70
+
71
+ records = load_session("session.jsonl")
72
+ # [{"type": "user", "uuid": "...", "message": {...}, ...}, ...]
73
+ ```
74
+
75
+ Raises `FileNotFoundError` if the file doesn't exist, `ValueError` if the extension is not `.jsonl` or `.json`, or if the file contains no valid records.
76
+
77
+ ### `session_to_messages(path, output=None)`
78
+
79
+ Loads a session and converts it to a `messages` list in one call. Optionally saves the result to a JSON file.
80
+
81
+ ```python
82
+ from claude_converter import session_to_messages
83
+
84
+ # In-memory only
85
+ messages = session_to_messages("session.jsonl")
86
+
87
+ # Save to disk too
88
+ messages = session_to_messages("session.jsonl", output="messages.json")
89
+ ```
90
+
91
+ Returns `list[{"role": str, "content": str}]`. Content blocks (`tool_use`, `tool_result`, `thinking`, `text`) are flattened to plain text using XML-style tags so the conversation structure is preserved.
92
+
93
+ ### `records_to_messages(records)`
94
+
95
+ Converts an already-loaded list of records into the messages format. Useful when you want to load once and run multiple transformations without re-reading the file.
96
+
97
+ ```python
98
+ from claude_converter import load_session, records_to_messages
99
+
100
+ records = load_session("session.jsonl")
101
+ messages = records_to_messages(records)
102
+ ```
103
+
104
+ ### `inspect_session(path, show_flow=False, show_blocks=False, show_raw=False)`
105
+
106
+ Prints a color-coded report of a session: record type counts, content block breakdown by role, and token usage totals. The conversation flow is optional and off by default.
107
+
108
+ ```python
109
+ from claude_converter import inspect_session
110
+
111
+ # Stats only (default)
112
+ inspect_session("session.jsonl")
113
+
114
+ # Stats + timestamped conversation flow
115
+ inspect_session("session.jsonl", show_flow=True)
116
+
117
+ # Flow + content of every block inline
118
+ inspect_session("session.jsonl", show_flow=True, show_blocks=True)
119
+
120
+ # Full report: flow, blocks, and raw record structure examples
121
+ inspect_session("session.jsonl", show_flow=True, show_blocks=True, show_raw=True)
122
+ ```
123
+
124
+ Example output (default):
125
+
126
+ ```

161
+
162

163
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
164
+ from claude_converter import session_to_messages
165
+
166
+ MODEL_ID = "your-model-id"
167
+
168
+ messages = session_to_messages("session.jsonl", output="messages.json")
169
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)
170
+
171
+ tokens = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
172
+ messages,
173
+ tokenize=True,
174
+ add_generation_prompt=True,
175
+ return_dict=True,
176
+ return_tensors="pt",
177
+ )
178
+ ```
179
+
180
+ ## Fine-tuning local models
181
+
182
+ Claude Code sessions are a natural source of training data: they capture
183
+ real coding conversations (tool calls, reasoning traces, multi-turn edits)
184
+ in a format that maps directly to the `messages` list expected by every major
185
+ fine-tuning framework.
186
+
187
+ ### Preprocessing recommendations
188
+
189
+ Before training, filter the messages list for your target model:
190
+
191
+ - **Strip tool blocks**: most local models don't understand `<tool_use>` /
192
+ `<tool_result>` tags. Remove or replace them unless you are training a
193
+ tool-calling model.
194
+ - **Strip thinking blocks**: `<thinking>` blocks leak chain-of-thought that
195
+ may not generalize. Keep them only if you are distilling reasoning behavior.
196
+ - **Drop short or empty turns**: single-word assistant replies and empty
197
+ user turns add noise.
198
+
199
+ ```python
200
+ def clean_messages(messages, keep_tool_calls=False, keep_thinking=False):
201
+ import re
202
+ cleaned = []
203
+ for msg in messages:
204
+ content = msg["content"]
205
+ if not keep_thinking:
206
+ content = re.sub(r"<thinking>.*?</thinking>", "", content, flags=re.DOTALL)
207
+ if not keep_tool_calls:
208
+ content = re.sub(r"<tool_use.*?>.*?</tool_use>", "", content, flags=re.DOTALL)
209
+ content = re.sub(r"<tool_result>.*?</tool_result>", "", content, flags=re.DOTALL)
210
+ content = content.strip()
211
+ if content:
212
+ cleaned.append({"role": msg["role"], "content": content})
213
+ return cleaned
214
+ ```
215
+
216
+ ### TRL / SFTTrainer example
217
+
218
+ ```python
219
+ from datasets import Dataset
220
+ from trl import SFTTrainer, SFTConfig
221
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
222
+ from claude_converter import session_to_messages
223
+ import glob
224
+
225
+ MODEL_ID = "your-model-id"
226
+
227
+ all_messages = []
228
+ for path in glob.glob("~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl", recursive=True):
229
+ msgs = session_to_messages(path)
230
+ msgs = clean_messages(msgs)
231
+ if len(msgs) >= 2:
232
+ all_messages.append({"messages": msgs})
233
+
234
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)
235
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)
236
+ dataset = Dataset.from_list(all_messages)
237
+
238
+ trainer = SFTTrainer(
239
+ model=model,
240
+ args=SFTConfig(output_dir="./output", max_seq_length=4096),
241
+ train_dataset=dataset,
242
+ processing_class=tokenizer,
243
+ )
244
+ trainer.train()
245
+ ```
246
+
247
+ ### Axolotl / LLaMA-Factory
248
+
249
+ Both frameworks accept a `sharegpt` format, which is structurally identical to
250
+ the `messages` list this module produces. Save the cleaned messages list with
251
+ `output="messages.json"` and point your framework config at that file.
252
+
253
+ ## Content block mapping
254
+
255
+ Claude Code sessions contain several block types that have no direct equivalent in the Transformers `messages` format. This module flattens them as follows:
256
+
257
+ | Claude Code block | Flattened as |
258
+ |---|---|
259
+ | `text` | plain text, as-is |
260
+ | `thinking` | `<thinking>...</thinking>` |
261
+ | `tool_use` | `<tool_use name='...'>{input JSON}</tool_use>` |
262
+ | `tool_result` | `<tool_result>...</tool_result>` |
263
+ | `system` records | skipped (not included in messages output) |
264

+ ## Where Claude Code stores sessions
268
+
269
+ ```
270
+ ~/.claude/projects/
271
+ └── <url-encoded-project-path>/
272
+ └── <session-uuid>.jsonl
273
+ ```
274
+
275
+ The project path is URL-encoded: `/home/user/myapp` becomes `-home-user-myapp`. Each session is a separate file, append-only, one JSON object per line.
276
+
277
+ ## Limitations
278
+
279
+ - **Graph structure**: Claude Code sessions are directed acyclic graphs linked by `parentUuid`. This module reads lines in file order (linear), which is correct for the vast majority of sessions. Branched or multi-agent sessions may need custom traversal.
280
+ - **Tool call fidelity**: Most local models don't natively understand `<tool_use>` or `<tool_result>` tags. For inference-only use cases, consider stripping those blocks before passing to `apply_chat_template()`.
281
+ - **No streaming**: The module loads the full file into memory. For very large sessions, use `load_session()` and process records in batches.
282
+ - **Data quality for fine-tuning**: Sessions include failed attempts, retries, and exploratory tool calls. Blindly training on raw sessions will teach the model bad habits. Filter aggressively: keep only sessions where the final assistant turn solves the stated problem, and prefer sessions with a high ratio of `text` blocks to `tool_use` blocks unless tool-calling is your training target.
