claude-exports, or chats, or it is not called anything and the files live next to a year of PDF receipts. Inside it: zip files. Each one a single conversation, exported by hand because the operator wanted to keep the part where the model finally got it right.The folder grows. Nobody curates it. The names are timestamps and uuids. The operator knows three of them by heart and the rest are dark matter. When they need something, they remember a phrase, open a terminal, and run grep -r "the phrase" ~/claude-exports. Sometimes it finds it. Sometimes the phrase was paraphrased and the grep returns nothing and the operator gives up and re-asks the model.
This is the competitive landscape for Cairn. Not a SaaS dashboard. Not an enterprise platform. A folder of zips and grep.
