Show HN: DevRecap – reconstruct what you worked on from Codex and Git (github.com)

DevRecap, a new tool now available in the OpenAI Plugins Directory, offers a way for developers to generate evidence-backed summaries of their coding activities directly from their local coding history and Git data. By utilizing the capabilities of Codex and Claude, DevRecap allows users to request a recap of their work—focusing on what was completed, what's in progress, and what was only investigated—creating an accurate narrative report. This approach addresses a common pain point for developers who struggle to recall their weekly activities by presenting information in a structured format conducive to team reviews, handoffs, and performance evaluations. Significantly, DevRecap emphasizes evidence-based reporting, ensuring that its summaries are supported by actual Git commits and local coding histories. This prevents the uncertainty often associated with memory-based recaps, clarifying which tasks are completed versus ongoing or merely investigated. With a focus on privacy, the tool only accesses user-authorized coding evidence, and it refrains from automatic scans or background monitoring. By enhancing clarity and structure in reporting, DevRecap aims to improve workflows and make documentation more efficient for developers in the AI/ML community. The tool is designed for easy installation and interaction, making it an accessible addition to a developer's toolkit.
