Install the extensions
Automatically save coding agent conversations in Cursor or VS Code with GitHub Copilot.
Cursor
Open the Extensions panel, search for SpecStory, and install it. You can also use the Cursor marketplace listing.
Open a project folder and start a conversation. SpecStory saves it to .specstory/history/ as Markdown.
VS Code + Copilot
Install SpecStory from the VS Code Marketplace.
Open a project folder and use GitHub Copilot Chat. Look for the saved conversation in .specstory/history/.
Manual installation
If the marketplace is unavailable, download the VSIX from the marketplace listing. In your editor's Command Palette, choose Extensions: Install from VSIX… and select the file. Reload the editor if prompted.
Check that saving works
Autosave is on by default. After a conversation, open .specstory/history/ and check the latest file. You can also run SpecStory: Save AI Chat History from the Command Palette.
If no file appears, check that a project folder is open, the extension is enabled, and specstory.autoSave is on. See settings and debugging.
