Documentation Chat Transcripts
This page documents Claude Code chat transcripts used in documentation. These transcripts demonstrate mekara script execution via Claude Code with the mekara MCP server.
Recording Script
Chat transcripts are recorded using:
python scripts/record_golden_chats.py [DOJO_DIR] [NAME]
This script:
- Checks out the appropriate dojo tag (for dojo recordings)
- Runs
claudeinteractively in that directory - When you exit claude, copies the latest JSONL transcript to
docs/static/chats/ - If configured, automatically splits the transcript into two parts at a specified marker
- Continues to the next recording
Transcripts can optionally be split at a marker by specifying a split_marker in tests/recordings.json, creating -part1 and -part2 files.
Recordings
Dojo recordings run against the AI Dojo repository for training purposes. They are only generated when you pass the DOJO_DIR argument to the recording script:
python scripts/record_golden_chats.py /path/to/dojo
sync-help-manual
This recording is split into two parts to show the progression from manual synchronization to systematization.
Part 1: Manual Synchronization
Part 2: Systematization
Dojo tag: training/intro/manual
Demonstrates:
- Manual docs synchronization with the agent
- Systematization of command

- Chat transcript part 1:
docs/static/chats/sync-help-manual-part1.jsonl - Chat transcript part 2:
docs/static/chats/sync-help-manual-part2.jsonl
Interaction script:
-
At the prompt, ask a natural question like "what's the current state of the help message?"
-
Once the agent responds with the current CLI help output, ask it to check on the REAMDE: "hm... is that up-to-date with the README?"
-
Once the agent notices the discrepancy and asks if you want to fix it, tell it: "yes, please update the README's help text to match the current help"
-
After the agent update the README with the latest help text, run
/systematize have the output file be sync-help.md. do not bother with documentation- Make sure that the newly created script file is indeed named
sync-help.md. If it isn't, direct the agent to rename it. - Make sure that the script does not ask for which file to edit or command to run.
- Make sure that the script spells out the exact command to run. If it doesn't, you may tell the agent, "Put the exact uv command in there"
- Make sure that the script has
<UserContext>$ARGUMENTS</UserContext>instead of<UserContext>have the output file be sync-help.md. do not bother with documentation</UserContext>. - Make sure that the script actually conditionally checks for discrepancies before editing.
Depending on what is wrong with the script, you may need to tell the agent something like: "Skip step 0. We're always going to be checking the same file with the same command, so put the exact uv command in there. Make sure the steps continue to start from 0. We should also be conditionally checking for discrepancies before editing. Also, you ignored the
<UserContext>$ARGUMENTS</UserContext>directive." - Make sure that the newly created script file is indeed named
sync-help-systematized
Dojo tag: training/intro/systematized
Demonstrates:
- Synchronization of help text output and docs using a previously systematized
/sync-helpcommand

Files:
- Chat transcript:
docs/static/chats/sync-help-systematized.jsonl
Interaction script:
- At the prompt, type
/sync-help - The script automatically updates the README with the latest help text
sync-help-unchanged
Dojo tag: training/intro/unchanged
Demonstrates:
- Documentation synchronization when the help text is already up-to-date
How to run: Claude Code with mekara MCP server in the AI Dojo repository
Files:
- Chat transcript:
docs/static/chats/sync-help-unchanged.jsonl
Interaction script:
- At the prompt, type
/sync-help - The script slowly resolves to verify that no changes are needed
There should be no compiled script markers such as ⚡ Step 0: uv run dojo --help. If you see these, it means that a compiled script is present and Mekara is executing that instead.
sync-help-compile
Dojo tag: training/intro/unchanged
Demonstrates:
- Script compilation for help text synchronization when compilation is required
How to run: Claude Code with mekara MCP server in the AI Dojo repository
Files:
- Chat transcript:
docs/static/chats/sync-help-compile.jsonl
Interaction script:
-
At the prompt, run "/compile the sync-help.md script"
-
Given the agent feedback until it has produced a minimal compiled script that:
- Requires zero user inputs (it's always going to check the help command, and it's always going to compare it to the README.md file)
- Treats comparison as its own separate auto step
- Executes the comparison as a simple check for whether or not the output is present verbatim in the README
- Avoids calling the LLM altogether if the text is already up-to-date
- Reuses auto step output instead of doing subprocess.run
You will most likely need to give it feedback such as "Compare help output to README via substring match in an auto step. Only if there is no match do we continue on to the LLM step of updating the README"
-
Once everything looks good to you, tell the agent to "complete the script. don't worry about committing."
Afterwards, you will need to update the training/help-sync branch to point to this commit as head, and tag this commit as training/intro/mechanized.
sync-help-mechanized
Dojo tag: training/intro/mechanized
Demonstrates:
- Documentation synchronization with an already-compiled
/sync-helpscript
How to run: Claude Code with mekara MCP server in the AI Dojo repository
Files:
- Chat transcript:
docs/static/chats/sync-help-mechanized.jsonl
Interaction script:
- At the prompt, type
/sync-help - The compiled script runs and finishes quickly without ever even invoking the LLM
There should be compiled script markers such as ⚡ Step 0: uv run dojo --help. If you don't see these, it means that a compiled script was not present.
