## What it is
SpecStory is a local-first tool (VS Code extensions, CLI, and cloud service) that automatically captures AI coding assistant conversations as searchable markdown, preserving developer intent and decisions. It includes Lore for turning session histories into reusable agent skills and a cloud API for syncing and searching sessions across projects.

## Use cases
- save and search my AI coding chat history
- capture Cursor and Copilot conversations as markdown
- stop re-explaining my codebase to AI every session
- turn past AI sessions into reusable agent skills
- sync AI coding sessions across machines and teammates
- preserve the reasoning behind code decisions for onboarding

## When to choose
- you use AI coding assistants (Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, Codex) and lose context between sessions
- you want git-friendly markdown logs of design decisions and prompts
- you want to search or RAG over your own AI development history
- you want to onboard developers with the 'why' behind code

## When to avoid
- you don't use AI coding assistants
- you need fully offline team sync without the cloud service
- you only want generic chat logging unrelated to coding
