I recorded every Claude Code session for 3 months. Here's what my work actually looked like.

For the last 3 months I recorded every session I had with Claude Code. Not screenshots, not memory. Every prompt I typed and everything it did, saved to a small database I own.

I did it because I kept losing my own work. I would finish a week, someone would ask what I shipped, and I genuinely could not remember. The work was real. It just lived in terminal scrollback I would never scroll through again.

So I set up a chain of small agents to remember it for me.

Every night, while I sleep, one agent reads that day's raw sessions and writes a single clear note: what I built, the decisions I made, what is still open. Plain language, the way I would write it in a journal, not a wall of logs.

Once a week, a second agent reads all seven daily notes and updates a profile of me: the projects I am moving, the skills I have actually used, the things I learned. After a few months this turned into a more honest picture of my work than my resume.

Then a third agent reads all of that and drafts posts for LinkedIn and X about what I actually worked on that week. Building in public, without me having to remember or sit down and write.

The part I like most: none of it runs on my machine. It is all scheduled cloud routines. My laptop can be off. I wake up and the notes, the profile, and the draft posts are already waiting.

I have started open-sourcing this as Pulse. The capture and the nightly daily-note agent are out now. You point it at your own database and your own notes repo, and it writes your day for you, in plain English, in files you own. The weekly profile agent and the post-writer are the pieces I am extracting next.

It is early and rough in places. The honest caveat: the writing is only as good as the model behind it, and a quiet day still makes a quiet note. But after 3 months, I no longer guess what I did. I just open the vault.

The graph at the top is 3 months of my own notes, each day linked to the projects it touched.
