What it does

Export Session As Markdown is an agent skill from ed3dai/ed3d-plugins. Use when the user wants to export a Claude Code session transcript as a readable Markdown file — converts the current session (or a specified transcript path) into GitHub-flavored Markdown with metadata header, collapsible tool results, and thinking blocks

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Markdown. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Ed's repo of Claude Code plugins, centered around a research-plan-implement workflow. Only a tiny bit cursed. If you're lucky.

When your agent uses it

  • Collapsible tool results
  • Thinking blocks

Example prompts

  • “/export-session-as-markdown”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Determine the transcript path
  2. Determine the output path
  3. Export the transcript
  4. Report the result

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0c90f4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Export Session As Markdown loads about 543 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 185 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~543

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 185 words (~543 tokens).
