This would be a cool place for LLMs to store a summary of the prompts used to generate the code in order to make it easier for other LLMs and humans to pick up where they left off.

I've been thinking about this exact same problem. It would be great to store a log of how much time/tokens were spent reasoning, what was the reasoning path, why were certain decisions made, etc.

I don't know if rationale is something better suited for the git commit log, or tagged by code function to an external "rationale" system of record.
