Where are the chat logs stored?

Logs are saved within your project's root in a directory named .chats/, organized by date (e.g., 20251225.md).

Can I commit these logs to my Git repository?

Yes, the skill includes instructions for adding and committing the generated markdown files to your project's version control.

What happens if I have multiple sessions in one day?

The skill aggregates user inputs from all sessions for that day into a single daily markdown file with distinct headers for each task.

How does the skill find my Claude Code history?

It automatically encodes your current working directory path to locate the corresponding history files in the ~/.claude/projects/ system folder.

Does this skill export system messages or tool outputs?

No, it is specifically designed to filter out system commands and tool results to focus on clean, human-readable user instructions.
