Chat reports collected manually in course of months

How to add custom lib item type to citation style?
Reference style should auto-numerate the item under addition to Zotero lib and place the number along with one short fixed custom expression in citation reference text (bibliography). Citation style uses numbers in brackets within the citation text.

Background
A number of AI-agents/tools (up to 6, maybe 7 or so) were used and are about to be used in future short and middle term. Actually that practice was started with the intention to improve the productivity on building up and extending the knowledge and to master own understanding of new tools and means/measures used. In course of project progress however the realization popped up of the will to cite certain samples in written work.

Those chats performed are saved on local storage to a .txt file each, sometimes chat capturing was made to .pdf format. Some tools offer sharing chat history by generating or exporting to such however it isn't used due to uncertainty regarding its storage persistence. Saving to file was performed in semi-manual manner. It means in AI -tool first exporting either whole conversation at glance or a sequence answer by answer almost along with the prompt, then adding manually small set of meta data. Meta-data document roughly when and how the conversation was conducted. Some tool prepend chat history with this kind of meta-data on themselves during export.

In lot of cases the chat was lengthy conversation with branching to topics/questions/problems touched in course of discussing the chat initial objectives.

The collection of chat captures are distributed to low number of machines according to which machine was available when on chatting with AI. For citations I am about to collect them close to written paper and my Zotero lib. Probably it won't be feasible to got all those to one place (due to high effort). I plan to do it on demand sample by sample, write-working will show which will qualify for citation and only those will happen to be in collection of references.
The idea is to apply a simple scheme of chat numbering and define custom style of reference type which will place numbers and short expression pointing to the sort of source (AI-generated) to reference entry. Citation style written work is IEEE.
