Commit Chronicles—Your Obsession Leaves a Trail. Mine Gives It a Plot.
TL;DR: A tool that turns a public GitHub repo’s commit history into a narrative card using SQL-based story detection and Cortex narration. It emphasizes data-grounded storytelling without fabricating facts.
Commit Chronicles analyzes a single public repo, uses SQL views to detect the storyline, and selects a real arc from the commit data. It then calls Cortex exactly once to narrate that identified thread, producing a structured JSON card and a PNG visualization. If no story exists, Cortex isn’t invoked and a grey card with 'no story here' is returned. The system aims for transparency: data points are real, motivation isn’t inferred, and the scope is one repo, not a full profile.
Question for the room: What challenges have you faced when turning code history into a narrative, and how did you ensure the storytelling stayed faithful to the data?
