SpecStory captures and auto-saves your AI coding sessions locally to .specstory/history/ across Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and more, making them searchable and shareable. Its Lore component mines saved sessions into reusable agent skills based on how you actually work. Local-first — data stays on your machine unless you sync to cloud.specstory.com.

Ask Claude to install the getspecstory extension in your IDE to capture and organize conversation histories.
Generate reusable skills from past conversations using Lore to avoid repeating similar tasks.
Sync your local conversation data to the cloud for access across multiple devices and teams.
