The Setup

I built this site to showcase Claude Code sessions. Terminal recordings of actual work - the clever bits, the funny bits, the “wait what just happened” bits.

But then I hit the classic first-post problem: what do you write when you have nothing to write about yet?

The Solution

Ask Claude, obviously.

me: help me write the first blog post for onceuponaclaude.com

claude: What's the site about? What angle do you want?

me: it showcases claude code sessions. i don't know what
    to write about - that's the problem

Claude’s response was… practical. Search through my session history. Find interesting conversations. Convert them to recordings.

But then it got better.

The Meta Moment

claude: Wait. That IS the post. The conversation about not
        knowing what to write... becomes the first post.

And here we are. The first post is about not knowing what the first post should be. The recording you just watched (if you watched one) is us figuring this out in real-time.

What’s Next

Real sessions. The ones where Claude:

• Solves something clever
• Gets completely derailed
• Says something unexpectedly funny
• Builds something useful while overthinking it

This site exists because pasting terminal output into chat is a crime. Screenshots strip context. cc-prism turns Claude Code sessions into playable recordings.

The dog ate its own food. The snake ate its tail. The blog wrote its first post.
