- Capture - Extensions save every AI interaction locally to
.specstory/history/ - Process - Run
/loreto mine your history into reusable, evidence-backed agent skills - Sync (Optional) - Only if logged in, sessions sync to cloud
- Search - Find conversations locally or across all projects in cloud
- Share - Export and share specific solutions with your team
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 the cloud.

CLI Tools
One installation works with all CLI tools - Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, Droid, DeepSeek, and Antigravity:
# Check which agents are installed
specstory check
# Launch your preferred agent with auto-save
specstory run claude # Launch Claude Code
specstory run cursor # Launch Cursor CLI
specstory run codex # Launch Codex CLI
specstory run droid # Launch Droid CLI
specstory run gemini # Launch Gemini CLI
specstory run deepseek # Launch DeepSeek TUI
specstory run antigravity # Launch Antigravity CLI
specstory run # Launch default agent
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.
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
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
