What is SpecStory?

SpecStory addresses the challenge of losing valuable context from AI chat sessions, which forms the foundation for building software with AI. Prompts and authored intent often slip away, hindering productivity. This tool provides a solution by enabling users to automatically save their AI chat history and intent, ensuring that this crucial information is never lost and can be easily accessed when needed.

For development teams, SpecStory tackles the difficulties in code review and learning new AI-driven coding techniques. When AI generates code from prompts, the separation of these prompts makes it hard for reviewers to understand the code's origin and intent. Additionally, the learning curve for agent-first coding can be steep without clear examples. SpecStory integrates prompts and AI-driven changes directly with Git, providing context alongside code, thereby improving review processes and facilitating team learning in an agent-first development environment.

Features

  • Autosave AI Chat History: Automatically saves AI chat history and authored intent, preventing loss of context.
  • Search and Share Functionality: Allows users to easily search and share their saved prompts and intent across sessions and projects.
  • Git Integration for Teams: Directly integrates prompts and AI-driven changes with Git, linking intent to code for better review and collaboration.
  • Cursor IDE Extension: Offers a dedicated extension for seamless integration with the Cursor IDE.
  • Copilot Extension: Provides an extension for GitHub Copilot, enhancing its usability with saved intent.

Use Cases

  • Preserving and reusing valuable prompts and context from AI chat interactions for software development.
  • Streamlining code reviews by providing reviewers with the original prompts and intent behind AI-generated code.
  • Accelerating team adoption of agent-first coding practices through shared examples of effective prompts.
  • Maintaining a searchable knowledge base of AI interactions and development decisions for individuals and teams.
