Exporting Sessions

Export sessions in human-readable or machine-readable formats.

Basic Export

# Export as markdown (default)
lore export <session-id>

# Export as JSON
lore export <session-id> --format json

# Write to a file
lore export <session-id> -o session.md
lore export <session-id> --format json -o session.json

Redaction

Remove sensitive content before sharing:

# Automatic redaction of common secrets
lore export <session-id> --redact

# Add custom patterns
lore export <session-id> --redact --redact-pattern "internal_\w+"

Built-in Redaction Patterns

The --redact flag automatically removes:

• API keys and tokens (sk-, Bearer, api_key=)
• AWS credentials (AKIA..., aws_secret_access_key)
• GitHub tokens (ghp_, gho_, ghu_, ghs_, ghr_)
• Email addresses
• IPv4 addresses
• Private keys (RSA, DSA, EC headers)
• Connection strings (mysql://, postgres://, mongodb://, redis://)

Redacted content is replaced with [REDACTED].

Custom Patterns

Add your own regex patterns:

lore export <session-id> --redact --redact-pattern "secret_\w+" --redact-pattern "internal_api_\d+"

Use Cases
