What is SpecStory and why do I need this skill?

SpecStory is a tool that automatically saves your AI coding sessions. This skill analyzes those saved history files to provide a high-level summary of your work, making it easy to track progress and report status.

Can I summarize only today's work?

Yes, you can pass the 'today' argument to the skill to filter the analysis to only sessions conducted on the current date.

What information is included in each session summary?

Each summary includes the timestamp, a brief title, the primary goal, the outcome status (using emojis like ✅ or 🚧), a list of modified files, and any key insights or decisions.

How does it handle large session history files?

The skill uses a chunked reading strategy, strategically reading the beginning, end, and specific user interaction points to ensure it captures the full context without exceeding token limits.
