In this case, it was more of write the X language compiler using X. I had to prove to myself if keeping the session made sense, and what better way to do it than to vibe code the tool to audit vibe code.

I do get your point though

You are 100% and that’s why I chose git notes. If you do not sync them you have no knowledge of their existence.

I added an action that will add a comment with the notes in GitHub so that you can see them directly.

I did work around squash to collect all sessions and concatenate them as a single one

People won’t do that, unfortunately. We are a dying breed (I hate it). I went against my own instincts and vibe code this, works as a proof of concept.

You can see the session (including my typos) and compare what was asked for and what you got.

I’ve been thinking about a simple problem: We’re increasingly merging AI-assisted code into production, but we rarely preserve the thing that actually produced it — the session. Six months later, when debugging or reviewing history, the only artifact left is the diff. So I built git-memento. It attaches AI session transcripts to commits using Git notes.
