export - Export Tracked Data

Generate bibliographies, methodology sections, or other export formats from tracked data.

Usage

bash

/track:export <format> [output]

Arguments:

•<format> - Required export format (see below)
•
[output] - Optional output file path
- •If omitted, uses $EXPORT_PATH/<format>.<ext>
- •Use - to print to stdout
- •Relative paths are relative to project root
- •Absolute paths used as-is

Export Formats

bibliography

Generate Markdown bibliography/works cited from sources.

Output: Numbered list with links

markdown

# Bibliography

1. PostgreSQL Documentation: INSERT INTO SELECT
   https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-insert.html

2. Go Documentation: embed.FS usage
   https://go.dev/doc/
   *Fetched: Use embed.FS to embed static files at compile time*

3. API Documentation (docs/api.md)
   *Documentation reference*

Default output: exports/bibliography.md

methodology

Generate methodology section from prompts and outcomes.

Output: Markdown sections with prompts/outcomes

markdown

# Methodology

## Development Process

### User Authentication Implementation
**Prompt:** "Implement user authentication with JWT"

**Outcome:** Created auth middleware, login/logout endpoints, JWT token generation and verification, integrated with database user model

**Session:** 2026-01-27 14:23:15

---

### Performance Optimization
**Prompt:** "Debug slow database queries"

**Outcome:** Added query logging, identified N+1 problem in user posts endpoint, implemented eager loading, reduced query time from 2.3s to 0.15s

**Session:** 2026-01-27 15:42:08

Default output: exports/methodology.md

bibtex

Export sources as BibTeX entries for LaTeX papers.

Output: BibTeX format

bibtex

@online{postgresql_insert_select,
  title = {PostgreSQL Documentation: INSERT INTO SELECT},
  url = {https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-insert.html},
  urldate = {2026-01-27}
}

@online{go_embed_fs,
  title = {Go Documentation: embed.FS usage},
  url = {https://go.dev/doc/},
  note = {Use embed.FS to embed static files at compile time},
  urldate = {2026-01-27}
}

Default output: exports/bibliography.bib

citations

Export sources as numbered citations for reference.

Output: Numbered citation list

markdown

# Citations

[1] PostgreSQL Documentation: INSERT INTO SELECT
    https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-insert.html

[2] Go Documentation: embed.FS usage
    https://go.dev/doc/
    Note: Use embed.FS to embed static files at compile time

[3] API Documentation (docs/api.md)

Default output: exports/citations.md

timeline

Chronological timeline of all tracked activity (sources and prompts interleaved).

Output: Markdown timeline

markdown

# Development Timeline

## 2026-01-27

### 14:15 - Research Activity
[Claude] WebSearch("PostgreSQL INSERT INTO SELECT documentation"): https://postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-insert.html

### 14:23 - Development Work
**Prompt:** "Implement user authentication with JWT"
**Outcome:** Created auth middleware, login/logout endpoints, JWT token generation and verification

### 15:30 - Research Activity
[User] WebFetch("https://go.dev/doc/", "embed.FS usage"): Use embed.FS to embed static files at compile time

### 15:42 - Development Work
**Prompt:** "Debug slow database queries"
**Outcome:** Added query logging, identified N+1 problem

Default output: exports/timeline.md

Path Resolution

No [output] argument:

•Uses $EXPORT_PATH/<format>.<ext> from .claude/.ref-config
•Default: exports/bibliography.md, exports/methodology.md, etc.

Relative path:

•Relative to project root
•Example: paper/refs.md → ./paper/refs.md

Absolute path:

•Used as-is
•Example: /tmp/tracking/bibliography.md

Stdout (-):

•Prints to stdout instead of file
•Useful for piping or inspection

Prerequisites

•Run /track:init first to create tracking files
•At least one tracked entry (sources or prompts)

Output

Shows export summary:

•Format used
•Number of entries exported
•Output file path
•Preview of first few lines

Implementation

Export functionality is implemented in scripts/export.sh:

bash

# Get skill directory
SKILL_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)"

# Execute export script with arguments
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/export.sh" "$@"

Script: skills/export/scripts/export.sh (204 lines)

Features:

•Format validation and error messages
•Path resolution (default, relative, absolute, stdout)
•File existence checking
•Multiple export formats with format-specific processing
•Entry counting and summary output
•Preview generation

See scripts/export.sh for full implementation details.

Notes

•Exports respect tracked data verbosity
•Source preambles are filtered out automatically
•BibTeX keys are auto-generated (ref_1, ref_2, etc.)
•Timeline format simplified (line order, not true chronological)
•Export files can be committed to git or added to .gitignore
