Intent is the new source code
Turn your AI development conversations into searchable, shareable knowledge.
Never lose a brilliant solution, code snippet, or architectural decision again. SpecStory captures, indexes, and makes searchable every interaction you have with AI coding assistants across all your projects and tools.

Workflow
- Capture - SpecStory CLI and IDE extensions save every AI interaction locally to
.specstory/history/
- Sync (Optional) - Sync your local sessions to SpecStory Cloud for safekeeping and team sharing
- Search - Find conversations across all projects locally, or across multiple computers and team members in SpecStory Cloud
- Chat (Optional) - Ask questions across your sessions in SpecStory Cloud to revisit decisions, understand past work, and find solutions
- Share - Export and share specific solutions with your team
- Resume - Resume sessions locally between different agents, and between multiple computers and team members with SpecStory Cloud
- Process - Run
/lore to mine your history into reusable, evidence-backed agent skills
Supported Development Tools
SpecStory integrates seamlessly with your favorite AI coding tools, automatically saving all conversations locally to .specstory/history/ in your project. Everything is local-first - your data stays on your machine unless you choose to sync to SpecStory Cloud.
Installation
[!TIP]
Don't see the agent you need listed here? The SpecStory CLI is open source and it's easy to contribute new agent providers.
[!NOTE]
For Cursor users: Install from within Cursor, not from the Visual Studio Marketplace website. Learn why
Terminal Coding Agents
One installation works with all terminal coding agents - Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, Droid, DeepSeek, Antigravity CLI, OpenCode, Qwen Code, and Pi - and with Cursor Cloud Agents, read from the Cursor API with your API key (set CURSOR_API_KEY, or cursor_api_key under [providers] in ~/.specstory/cli/config.toml):
# Check which agents are installed
specstory check
# Launch your preferred agent with session auto-save
specstory run claude # Launch Claude Code
specstory run cursor # Launch Cursor CLI
specstory run cursorcloud # Start a Cursor Cloud Agent on this repo and save its sessions
specstory run codex # Launch Codex CLI
specstory run droid # Launch Droid CLI
specstory run deepseek # Launch DeepSeek TUI
specstory run antigravity # Launch Antigravity CLI
specstory run grok # Launch Grok Build
specstory run muse # Launch Muse Code
specstory run opencode # Launch OpenCode
specstory run qwen # Launch Qwen Code
specstory run pi # Launch Pi
specstory run # Launch the default agent (Claude Code)
# Render all prior agent coding sessions in the project as markdown
specstory sync
All sessions automatically save to .specstory/history/ in your current project.
[!TIP]
The SpecStory CLI acts as a wrapper that enhances any of these terminal agents with automatic session saving. You only need the respective agent installed (e.g., Claude Code) for SpecStory to work with it.

SpecStory Cloud ☁️
SpecStory Cloud transforms your local AI conversations into a powerful, centralized knowledge system.
The Problem We Solve
- Lost Context: Critical decisions and solutions scattered across machines and projects
- No Global Search: Finding that perfect solution from last month is impossible
- Fragile Sharing: Passing around Markdown files doesn't scale
The Solution
SpecStory Cloud creates your personal AI coding knowledge base:
- 🎯 Explicit Opt-In: Nothing syncs to SpecStory Cloud without an optional sign-up and login first
- 🔍 Search Everywhere: Full-text search across all your projects from all your computers.
- 💬 Chat with Your History: Ask questions across your sessions to revisit decisions, understand past work, and find solutions.
- 📚 Organized by Project: Automatic categorization by repository and time
- 🚀 API Access: Programmatic sync and search for automation
- 👥 Team Features: Share knowledge across your organization with SpecStory Cloud for Teams

How to Sync to Cloud
| Method | One-Time Setup | Live Sessions | Past Sessions |
|---|
| SpecStory CLI | specstory login | Auto-pushed when using specstory run while logged in | Use specstory sync to push existing local sessions |
| Cursor Extension | Command Palette → "SpecStory: Open Cloud Sync Configuration" | Configure auto-sync in settings | Use sync command from Command Palette |
| VSCode Extension | Command Palette → "SpecStory: Open Cloud Sync Configuration" | Configure auto-sync in settings | Use sync command from Command Palette |
[!IMPORTANT]
Local-First & Private by Default: All sessions are saved locally to .specstory/history/. Nothing is ever sent to the cloud unless you explicitly login with. Even after logging in, you can control what gets synced.
Lore 📜
Lore turns the sessions SpecStory saves into agent skills forged from how you actually work. Your sessions are your lore.
The Problem We Solve
- Repeated Yourself Again: You re-explain the same workflows, conventions, and fixes to your agent every session
- Skills From Guesswork: Hand-written agent skills describe how you think you work, not how you demonstrably do
The Solution
Lore mines your .specstory/history into evidence - what you actually ran, what worked, and the judgment you apply without noticing - and forges the skills you approve into every agent on your machine.
Install:
npx skills add specstoryai/getspecstory --skill lore
Then invoke it - /lore in Claude Code, $lore in Codex, or just ask ("mine my lore") in Gemini CLI and others:
/lore
