Have townie summarize steps that led to success

[bradnoble]

Hi Val Town,

I've been experimenting with townie, and it's awesome. I'm largely using it in trial and error mode; that is, I start with a simple objective and then add more on top once I feel that I've got enough working to move on.

Sometimes, there are errors or issues along the way. I iterate with townie and get through those. When I get to the end, I have a working app, which is great, but if I want to use townie to go again, but in a slightly different way, and to not recreate all the problems along the way, I would greatly appreciate a summary of prompts that townie could follow that would lead to success again.

Something like:

townie, follow these steps: 
{list} 
and then add 
{item}.

Thank you for val town and townie!

Thanks for the note and feedback!

One way to kinda solve this problem would be to start a new chat with Townie with the working app or a fork of that working app. It might not need to know all the steps to get there, but just having something working to start with could be enough

Another idea would be to send almost exactly the message you sent us above to Townie and ask it to do the summary of the convo for you. I think it might do pretty well. Sometimes it does. Sometimes less so

@stevekrouse thanks, will try your suggestion and ask Townie for a summary.

One key usecase for me is the replay: to be able to replay the magic of townie from empty prompt field, to an input filled with my intentions (which I need townie to help me write, based on the trial and error process I mentioned), to a working app.
