I was making a long edit in a crappy wiki UI and my browser froze. It would have taken a long time to redo, hours.

I didn't want to take the chance of force closing and losing everything. I used claude code to extract my text out of the browser internals and filesystem objects.

I did this a long time ago before the age of AI. Core dump and then run strings on it. Very low tech but very useful!

How do you use Claude Code to access your browser memory?

I'd have to go back and look. It was 100% vibe coded.

Here's what it did: https://pastebin.com/fFXRCJWs

The claude code session took several other failed attempts until I vibe coded it to this direction.

Guessing it gave JS to drop into console.
