Engineers often juggle multiple repositories and command lines throughout the day, making it difficult to reconstruct work history. This bot ingests daily terminal commands, directory changes, and session logs, creates concise summaries of active tasks, and indexes them in a database so you can easily query past progress.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Inspect the recorded terminal history, active directories, and command traces for the specified time window. Group commands by project directory and infer key engineering tasks completed, such as debugging, migrations, or deployments. Write a chronological summary with bulleted milestones into the notes database. Before writing to or updating any external log file or database records, ask for user confirmation. When queried in chat about past work, retrieve matching records and explain what tasks were in progress.
