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.
