Recall Reasoning

Locate the Claude Code transcript that produced a given change and extract the implementer's reasoning. Useful for answering reviewer questions, writing post-hoc explanations, or recovering forgotten context.

Inputs

Accept any of:

• A commit SHA
• A file path, optionally with a line number (<path>:<line>)
• A reviewer question plus surrounding context (file and line)

If only a file is given, git blame resolves the commit that last touched the line.

Step 1: Resolve the Commit and Run the Script

Call scripts/find_transcript.py with either --commit <sha> or --file <path>[:<line>]. Pass --cwd /path/to/repo when searching a different repo than the current working directory.
