majiayu000 SpecStory Link Trail
Reviews your .specstory/history sessions and creates a summary of all URLs that were fetched via WebFetch tool calls. Useful for auditing external resources accessed during development.
How It Works
- Parses SpecStory history files for WebFetch tool calls
- Extracts URLs, status codes, and context
- Groups by session with timestamps
- Separates successful fetches from failures
- Deduplicates repeated URLs with fetch counts
Why Track Links?
During AI-assisted coding, your assistant fetches documentation, APIs, and resources on your behalf. Link Trail helps you:
- Audit what external resources were accessed
- Find that documentation page you saw earlier
- Review failed fetches that might need retry
- Understand your research patterns

Present Results to User
The script output IS the report. Present it directly without additional commentary, but you may:
- Highlight key findings - Most frequently accessed domains, any failed fetches
- Offer follow-ups - "Want me to retry the failed fetches?" or "Need details on any of these?"
Example Response
Here's your link trail from recent sessions:
[script output here]
I noticed 5 failed fetches - mostly internal URLs that require authentication.
The most accessed domain was github.com (5 fetches), mostly for their REST API docs.
Would you like me to:
- Retry any of the failed fetches?
- Open any of these links?
- Filter to a specific session?
Notes
- Uses streaming parsing for large history files
- URLs are extracted from WebFetch tool calls in the history
- Fetch counts show when the same URL was accessed multiple times
- Failed fetches include the HTTP status code when available
