Commands

All DevLog commands are available from Cmd+Shift+P. No terminal required.

DevLog: Synthesize Now

Reads today's captured events, enriches commit messages from git history, calls your AI provider, and opens the full daily log webview. Also accessible by clicking ๐Ÿ““ DevLog in the status bar.

Shows branch activity with meaningful file change descriptions, commit summaries, work areas, decisions, and a Copy standup button.

DevLog: Synthesize Past Date

Shows an input box โ€” type any past date in YYYY-MM-DD format. DevLog synthesizes that day's events and opens the log webview.

Useful for catching up on days you forgot to synthesize, or backfilling history.

DevLog: Show Today's Log

Opens today's already-synthesized log. If no log exists yet, prompts you to synthesize first.

No AI call needed โ€” reads from the saved log file in ~/.devlog/.

DevLog: Generate Standup

Shows a date picker listing all dates with synthesized logs (last 14 days). Select a date to open the standup webview.

Standup webview has Copy standup and Copy for Slack buttons. Yesterday and today are labeled. The standup is a numbered list referencing actual commit messages.

DevLog: Performance Review

Shows a period picker (Last 30 days, Last quarter, Last 6 months, Last year). Reads all logs in that range and generates STAR-format achievements grouped by category.

Visual view shows cards with achievements. Terminal view shows plain text ready to paste into a review doc. Copy review button copies the full review.

DevLog: Status

Opens a dashboard showing today's event count, synthesis status, active hours, and recent log history.

Quick action buttons let you trigger any command directly without the Command Palette.
