Is it still not possible to sync chat between pcs without any extension? After so many big upgrades, I can’t still believe it is not there yet.
Also, I have a question to SpecStory users: Autosave is ok, but is there an “autoload” feature? Should I add these specstory readme files as context to my chat each time, or import them as project rules? How does it work?
i know we all need a proper export/import of chats and best to be automatic. Cursor loses too often the history.
ok. so you can commit the specstory files, they are nicely named with date so you can see which one is which even with same name.
yes you can reference them with @ as any other file.
Would not add them as cursorrules as chats are way too long.
Usually its actually best to ask AI to summarize the thread and save it into a regular md file as documentation. This avoid extreme context sizes from chat history and prevents issues that occured in chat to be re-gurgitated by AI misunderstanding the context. or getting only part of it as Cursor only sends 250 lines into context.
However those files can be indexed which is where then it is usable as well.
@T1000 thanks, that’s smart. Actually before Specstory I was using AI summarise exactly how you described. That seems the only solution until Cursor builds a proper one
I believe devs will stop using chats in a few months. At least those that move on to latest approaches.
I have yet to see a single LLM that can handle a decent chat sessions worth of context. Cursor or other tools even with indexed/RAGged chats like using SpecStory’s md exports have limited success on historic chats which is why Cursor summarizes them from my experience.
Therefore tools have moved to store relevant context outside of chats as they chats an UI and not efficient storage.
