A script to visualize and prettify the logged chats - ready script

[Manamama]

Pictures speak a thousand words, so see below for them.

The Script

https://github.com/Manamama/Puzzles_for_AIs/tree/main/code/Gemini%20CLI%20logs%20prettifier

This script scans for Gemini CLI projects and converts their JSON chat logs and checkpoints into readable, interlinked HTML files.

What it does

The Gemini CLI stores chat history and session checkpoints in a series of JSON files located in ~/.gemini/tmp. While this is great for the tool's own state management, it's not very human-readable.

how to access? 🥇

When do you usually use this script?

[Manamama]

Many cases. E.g. when ♊ tries to gaslight me and I need to see the rhetorics used "against the User". Random sample: #4556 (comment)

[Manamama]

@DaKoTaGeorgia Oh, I have hidden it probably somewhere unwittingly (wrong href). Fixed in two places now. A shameless plug for other tricks and materials in the parent folder: https://github.com/Manamama/Puzzles_for_AIs/tree/main/docs/pmbok_instructions plus the repo itself, with (sometimes lateral thinking) tests etc., some from early AI days...

[gregbythebeach]

Both links send me to a 404 page, no longer available?

[Manamama]

This is what happens when one (moi) asks Gemini CLI "here you have a messy repo, with code in the Docs, now fix it" and after half our of shifting it is renamed, spruced up etc., by that AI, thus of course these code links being (rationally) moved by AI to the right "Code" folder thereby and human forgets these hrefs.

Voila: https://github.com/Manamama/Puzzles_for_AIs/tree/main/code/Gemini%20CLI%20logs%20prettifier, @gregbythebeach , and I shall also fix yet again in above...
