> The pull request model on GitHub doesn’t carry enough information to review AI generated code properly — I wish I could see the prompts that led to changes. It’s not just GitHub, it’s also git that is lacking.

Yes! Who is building this?

Create a folder called "prompts". Create a new file for each prompt you make, name the time after timestamp. Or just append to prompts.txt

Either way, git will make it trivial to see which prompt belongs with which commit: it'll be in the same diff! You can write a pre-commit hook to always include the prompts in every commit, but I have a feeling most Vibe coders always commit with -a anyway

It's not just that. There's a lot of (maybe useful) info that's lost without the entire session. And even if you include a jsonl of the entire session, just seeing that is not enough. It would be nice to be able to "click" at some point and add notes / edit / re-run from there w/ changes, etc.

Basically we're at a point where the agents kinda caught up to our tooling, and we need better / different UX or paradigms of sharing sessions (including context, choices, etc)
