How to Share a Claude Code Session

To share a Claude Code session for review, use /export to save a readable transcript, check it for sensitive content, and send it through an approved channel. For someone to continue the work, also provide the current code, the verified task state, and the next action; the transcript alone is not a working environment.

fenbs keeps that concise handoff available to another connected assistant without requiring it to reread an entire terminal conversation. Decide first whether you need someone to read what happened, resume saved conversation data, or operate your own session from another device. These are different jobs.

How do you export a session another person can read?

1. Let the current step finish, or interrupt it and record where it stopped. Ask for a brief summary of the task and the current result.
2. Run /export in Claude Code and choose the file or clipboard option available in your installation.
3. Open the exported text yourself. Review commands, paths, pasted documents, and tool output before sharing it.
4. Send the reviewed transcript through your team’s approved channel, alongside a short explanation of what you want the recipient to do.
5. If they will continue the task, provide access to the intended code version and the relevant handoff note separately.

Anthropic’s Claude Code cheatsheet↗ (opens in a new tab) documents /export for saving the conversation to a file or clipboard. Treat the result as reading material. A reviewer can understand the discussion, but a copy of your conversation does not automatically supply your repository, installed tools, or permissions.

Which kind of sharing do you actually need?

A teammate reviewing a bug fix usually needs the code change and the failing behavior more than every exploratory message. Someone auditing an unexpected command may need the longer transcript. Match the material to that question. Our Claude Code introduction explains the underlying tool, while the AI handoffs hub covers the broader transfer of work.

Can another person resume the exact same session?

Do not treat a session identifier as a universal invitation link. Anthropic’s CLI session guide↗ (opens in a new tab) documents resuming saved conversations, including from a structured transcript path. That is different from importing the plain-text file produced for a human reader.

If you need to move saved session data, follow the current documentation for the surfaces involved and verify the result in a safe copy of the project. Do not send your entire Claude settings directory as a shortcut. Separate the conversation record from account credentials and local configuration.

For most teammate handoffs, start with the reviewed code and a clear brief in their own session. They can ask their assistant to inspect the current files and compare them with the stated task. The separate guide to sharing context between Claude sessions covers the context record rather than transcript mechanics.

Is Remote Control the same as sharing with a teammate?

Anthropic describes Remote Control↗ (opens in a new tab) as continuing a local Claude Code session through a browser or mobile app. Execution stays on the original computer, which must remain available with its Claude process running. It is useful when you move away from your desk.

That should not become an improvised account-sharing system. If a colleague needs to own the work, arrange their repository and project access under their own account. State who is responsible for edits from this point onward. Two people issuing instructions without agreeing on ownership can easily create conflicting changes.

If both people need to work at once, give them separate tasks and a deliberate way to review changes. Our Claude Code worktrees guide explains isolated working copies; it is a separate workflow from sending someone a transcript.

What should a useful coding handoff contain?

• The observed problem, expected behavior, and a way to reproduce it.
• The intended repository and working version, including any edits that are not committed.
• Files changed, with a short reason for each important change.
• Checks actually run, their results, and checks still missing.
• The next action, any blocked decision, and actions that still need a person’s approval.

For example, “fixed the login bug” does not tell the next developer whether mobile behavior was tested. A better note says the keyboard focus issue was corrected in the sign-in form, the relevant automated check passed, and a real phone check remains. The recipient can begin with that missing check instead of repeating earlier investigation.

Store that current state in the task and keep the transcript as supporting evidence when it is useful. The fenbs handoff workflow lets the next connected assistant read what finished and where to begin, even if it uses a different coding tool.

How to do this with fenbs

1. Create a free account and add the project. Use a team kanban board with appropriate member roles when another person needs access.
2. Add or update the task with the actual problem, current plan, changed files, and checks that remain.
3. Connect Claude Code through the integration guide. MCP is a standard connection through which an assistant can use an outside tool.
4. Ask the connected assistant to save task progress and the project’s Where we left off before the handoff. Save only useful, reviewed facts and approved reference locations.
5. Have the recipient’s connected assistant read the project context and confirm its next action against the current code before editing.

fenbs does not stream your terminal or import your Claude Code conversation automatically. For a one-time review, a code change and a short message may be enough. Use fenbs when task state needs to remain available across several people, sessions, or supported assistants.
