Import a Claude.ai export

Claude.ai conversations have no local session files, so they arrive via the official data export instead of pond sync's auto-discovery:

  1. On claude.ai, open Settings -> Privacy -> Export data. The export arrives by email as a .zip link.
  2. Download it and run:
pond sync claude-ai-export --path <path-to-export.zip>

--path accepts the .zip directly, an extracted directory, or a bare conversations.json; it is a one-off override that bypasses config and writes nothing to config.toml. The import is idempotent - re-running with a newer export adds only what is new.
