Each data command (draft, edit, optimize, schedule, hashtags, hooks, cta, rewrite, translate, tone, headline, outline) works in two modes:
- Without arguments — displays the 20 most recent entries from its log
- With arguments — saves the input with a timestamp to its dedicated log file
Data Storage
All data is stored in ~/.local/share/slideshow-generator/:
draft.log,edit.log,optimize.log,schedule.log,hashtags.log,hooks.log— per-command log filescta.log,rewrite.log,translate.log,tone.log,headline.log,outline.log— additional command logshistory.log— unified activity history across all commandsexport.json,export.csv,export.txt— generated export files
