llmman log: git log for your prompts
llmman serve now keeps a history of the prompts it is sent, and llmman log shows it the way git log shows commits.
An agent runs for an hour against llmman serve and leaves nothing behind but a line per request in serve.log, none of them saying what was asked. Now there is llmman log.
What it looks like
$ llmman log

450036622897 first question
If you know git log, you know the rest: -n, --skip, --since "2 hours ago", --until yesterday, --grep, --model, -i, --reverse, and a pager when stdout is a terminal. llmman log reads a file, so it needs no daemon, just as git log needs no server.
What is recorded
Every request to a generation route — Ollama, OpenAI or Anthropic — adds one line to prompts.jsonl beside the store: the time, route, model, User-Agent, and the text of the last user turn. Only that turn. Not the transcript an agent re-sends on every request, and never the reply, so the file grows with what was typed rather than with context length.
The file is readable only by its owner. Set LLMMAN_NOHISTORY to record nothing; delete the file to forget everything.
