Put your GitHub Copilot CLI session history to work with Chronicle

I have close to 2000 GitHub Copilot CLI sessions on my machine. That history isn’t just sitting there anymore. /chronicle puts it to work 🔥

/chronicle is a set of slash commands that tap into your local session data:

• 📝 /chronicle standup - Summarizes your recent work. Branches, PRs, status.
• 💡 /chronicle tips - Personalized recommendations based on your actual usage patterns.
• 🔧 /chronicle improve - Suggests updates to copilot-instructions.md based on where Copilot struggled.
• 🔄 /chronicle reindex - Rebuilds the session store from history files on disk.

After re-indexing, I ran /chronicle tips and got a few recommendations I hadn’t considered before.

Give it a try! Start with /chronicle reindex. The session store is populated incrementally during sessions, but older sessions from before this feature need to be reindexed first.

One thing: /chronicle is currently experimental. Enable it with /experimental on or the --experimental flag.
