SpecStory
SpecStory is an AI coding tool that saves conversational history, prompts, and decisions from coding agent sessions.
SpecStory saves the conversations behind your code and checks what your software actually does. It keeps the prompts and decisions from your coding agent sessions so developers can reuse them when the next task begins. The tool automatically converts conversation histories, including tool calls and reasoning traces, into Markdown format. Developers can reference past conversations to ground new interactions in prior context. It also includes RunStory to test software against changes and send reproducible failures back to the coding agent.
