Pre-commit hook that writes an intent doc by mining AI chats

Git records what changed, not why. When AI writes a 300-line diff, the reasoning, constraints, and decisions stay behind in chat logs on your disk. That's the newest technical debt: lost context. At commit time, it matches session transcripts to your staged files and uses the Claude Code CLI you already have to distill the intent into docs/intents/, staged into the same commit as the code it explains. The why travels with the what. No new platform, no new workflow, no commit ever blocked.
Love that it stages the intent docs into the same commit. One thing that would make this way more useful for my team: let me link related commits or PRs so the intent doc can reference the follow-up context, not just the initial why. Right now if a decision evolves across three commits, the original intent gets stale fast.
Staging the intent docs into the same commit as the code itself is such a clean move, it keeps the why and the what physically inseparable in git history. Nice execution on something that could've easily turned into another dashboard.
