Importing from Claude Workbench

Flemma can turn Claude Workbench exports into ready-to-send .chat buffers.

Quick steps: Export the TypeScript snippet in Claude Workbench, paste it into Neovim, then run :Flemma import.

Before you start

  • :Flemma import delegates to the current provider. Keep Anthropic active (:Flemma switch anthropic) so the importer knows how to interpret the snippet.
  • Use an empty scratch buffer – Flemma import overwrites the entire buffer with the converted chat.

Export from Claude Workbench

  1. Navigate to https://console.anthropic.com/workbench and open the saved prompt you want to migrate.
  2. Click Get code in the top-right corner, then switch the language dropdown to TypeScript. The importer expects the anthropic.messages.create({ ... }) call produced by that export.
  3. Press Copy code; Claude Workbench copies the whole TypeScript example (including the import Anthropic from "@anthropic-ai/sdk" header).

Convert inside Neovim

  1. In Neovim, paste the snippet into a new buffer (or delete any existing text first).
  2. Run :Flemma import. The command:
    • Scans the buffer for anthropic.messages.create(...).
    • Normalises the JavaScript object syntax and decodes it as JSON.
    • Emits a system message (if present) and rewrites every Workbench message as @You: / @Assistant: lines.
    • Switches the buffer's filetype to chat so folds, highlights, and keymaps activate immediately.

Troubleshooting

  • If the snippet does not contain an anthropic.messages.create call, the importer aborts with "No Anthropic API call found".
  • JSON decoding errors write both the original snippet and the cleaned JSON to flemma_import_debug.log in your temporary directory (e.g. /tmp/flemma_import_debug.log). Open that file to spot mismatched brackets or truncated copies.
  • Nothing happens? Confirm Anthropic is the active provider – other providers currently do not ship an importer.
