README

🦾 The Claude

**Claude Code File Recovery Tool**

🚨 You Know This Feeling...

You've been **absolutely crushing it** with Claude Code for 2 hours:

✨ Created 12 files for your sick new project
🔥 Built that perfect API structure that just clicks
🎯 "I'll commit this shit in a minute..."
💥 Accidentally nuke the whole directory
😱 "OH NO! My entire session is GONE!"

**Stop panicking.** Claude Code logs everything. The Claude gets it back.

Like the claw from Toy Story, it reaches deep into your conversation logs and rescues your files from the digital void. Your flow-state coding session isn't lost - it's just waiting to be recovered.
