# script: list-transcripts-here

**Location:** `claude-foundations/scripts/list-transcripts-here.sh`  
**Symlinked to:** `~/.claude/scripts/list-transcripts-here.sh`

## Purpose

Thin wrapper around `extract-transcripts.py --list "$(pwd)"`. Exists because SKILL.md bang commands (`!`command``) cannot use `$()` substitution — the Claude Code permission checker rejects it. The wrapper runs the substitution internally (in bash, where it's fine) and outputs the result.

## Usage

```bash
# From within a project directory
bash ~/.claude/scripts/list-transcripts-here.sh
# → JSON array of unprocessed transcript backups for the current cwd
```

## How it works

Single line: `python3 "$HOME/.claude/scripts/extract-transcripts.py" --list "$(pwd)"`

## Gotchas

- Must be called with `bash list-transcripts-here.sh` (not `python3`) — it's a shell wrapper, not a Python script
- Output is the same as `extract-transcripts.py --list`, so check that script's docs for the JSON format
- The `$()` substitution is the entire reason this wrapper exists; if that restriction is ever lifted from SKILL.md bang commands, this wrapper can be removed
