What it does
History Explorer is an agent skill from clawdotnet/openclaw.net. Inspect recent session conversation turns and meta-run history. Returns structured JSON summaries of turn counts, role distribution, tool usage, meta-skill executions, and co-occurrence patterns. Use this before running meta-skill-creator or when the user asks about recent history, past tool usage, or session activity.
Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/explore.py`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill authoring. The repository describes itself as: Self-hosted Enterprise and Personal AI + agent runtime in .NET (NativeAOT-friendly). The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asks about recent history
- Past tool usage
- Session activity
Example prompts
- “/history-explorer”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2344435. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
History Explorer loads about 805 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 241 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

History Explorer
Read-only helper that inspects OpenClaw.NET session history for downstream
workflows (especially meta-skill-creator).
What It Does
Parses a JSON session snapshot and returns structured analytics:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
turns | Turn count, role distribution (user vs assistant), time span, recent turn previews |
tools | Tool invocation frequency, top tools, tool co-occurrence in the same turn |
meta_runs | Meta-skill execution history: skill name, status, step counts, failure codes |
co_occurrences | Skill/tool pairs that appear together across turns |
placeholder | Emitted when no session data is available; downstream workflows treat this as a signal to rely on user intent only |
Input Contract
The script expects JSON session data on stdin. The calling agent should pipe a
JSON object matching the Session schema — specifically:
{
"id": "session-guid",
"history": [
{ "role": "user", "content": "...", "timestamp": "..." },
{ "role": "assistant", "content": "...", "timestamp": "...", "toolCalls": [...] }
],
"metaRunHistory": [
{
"runId": "...", "skillName": "...", "status": "completed",
"startedAtUtc": "...", "completedAtUtc": "...",
"stepResults": [
{ "id": "...", "kind": "...", "status": "...", "durationMs": 123 }
]
}
]
}Output Contract
Always returns a JSON object. When session data is available, includes the
requested analytics keys. When unavailable or unparseable, returns a single
placeholder key so downstream workflows degrade deterministically.
When to Use
- Before running
meta-skill-creator: feed co-occurrence and meta-usage data into the creator's proposal draft - When the user asks "what skills did I use recently" or "show my session history"
- When debugging: inspect recent tool failures or meta-run error codes
- When the agent needs to recall conversation context from earlier turns
Limitations
- Read-only; never mutates session state
- Depends on the agent passing session JSON via stdin; does not access the persistence layer directly
window_daysfiltering is best-effort on thetimestampfield- Session snapshots may be truncated by the agent for token budget reasons

Can I use History Explorer in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add clawdotnet/openclaw.net --skill history-explorer -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others).

What does History Explorer need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, History Explorer needs Python for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does History Explorer access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is History Explorer safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does History Explorer use?
History Explorer is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does History Explorer use?
About 805 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
