Terminal Session Replay

What This Does

A CLI tool to record, replay, and export terminal sessions. Captures commands, outputs, and timing for later review, documentation, or sharing with teammates. Wraps the standard script command with a simpler interface and additional features.

Key features:

• Record sessions - Start recording terminal session with a simple command
• Replay sessions - Play back recorded sessions with original timing
• Export to markdown - Convert sessions to readable documentation
• Session management - List, view, and delete recorded sessions
• Metadata support - Add titles, descriptions, and tags to sessions
• Timing control - Adjust playback speed or skip timing for quick review

How To Use

Record a session:

./scripts/main.py record --output session1

Replay a session:

./scripts/main.py replay --input session1

Export to markdown:

./scripts/main.py export --input session1 --output session1.md

List recorded sessions:

./scripts/main.py list

Full command reference:

./scripts/main.py help

Commands

• record: Start recording a terminal session

- --output: Session name (default: timestamp-based) - --title: Session title for metadata - --desc: Session description - --tags: Comma-separated tags

• replay: Replay a recorded session

- --input: Session name to replay - --speed: Playback speed multiplier (default: 1.0) - --no-timing: Skip timing, display immediately

• export: Export session to markdown

- --input: Session name to export - --output: Output markdown file (default: session_name.md) - --include-timing: Include timing information in export

• list: List all recorded sessions

- --filter-tags: Filter by tags

• info: Show session metadata

- --input: Session name

• delete: Delete a session

- --input: Session name to delete

Output

Sessions are stored in ~/.terminal-sessions/ by default:

• session_name.typescript: Raw terminal recording (script output)
• session_name.timing: Timing data for replay
• session_name.meta.json: Metadata (title, description, tags, timestamp)

Export produces markdown like:

# Terminal Session: Setting up Project

**Recorded:** 2026-03-11 10:30:00  
**Duration:** 2 minutes 15 seconds

## Limitations

- Requires `script` command (available on Linux/macOS, not on Windows without WSL/Cygwin)
- Cannot record GUI applications or mouse interactions
- Very fast terminal output may not be captured perfectly
- Sessions can be large if recording for long periods
- Color and formatting may not be preserved in markdown export
- Requires terminal with proper support for script command

## Examples

Record a debugging session:

./scripts/main.py record --output debug-session --title "Debugging API issue" --tags "debug,api"

... work in terminal ...

exit # or Ctrl+D to end recording

Replay at 2x speed:

./scripts/main.py replay --input debug-session --speed 2.0

Export for documentation:

./scripts/main.py export --input debug-session --output DEBUGGING.md

## Installation Notes

The `script` command is typically pre-installed on Linux and macOS systems. On Windows, use WSL or Cygwin.

The tool creates `~/.terminal-sessions/` directory to store recordings.
