What it does

Conversation History is an agent skill from dashhuang/openclaw-chat-history-import. Use when the user asks what was said earlier in a chat, wants an old decision, exact wording, prior links, or suspects the agent forgot conversation context across Telegram, BlueBubbles, Feishu, ChatGPT, Claude, or other archived chat sources. Search memorysearch first, then search the local conversation archive for exact recall.

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/search_archive.py`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Messaging and chat bots. It works with Feishu (Lark), Telegram and OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: OpenClaw skill for importing external chat history into archive, daily memory, and MEMORY.md workflows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks what was said earlier in a chat
  • Wants an old decision
  • Suspects the agent forgot conversation context across Telegram
  • Other archived chat sources

Example prompts

  • “/conversation-history”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Start with memory_search for topic, person, or decision recall.
  2. If the user wants exact wording, exact links, chronology, or channel-specific confirmation, run
  3. Add filters when useful

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 31de67f. 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.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

Conversation History loads about 912 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 330 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~912

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.

description
Use when the user asks what was said earlier in a chat, wants an old decision, exact wording, prior links, or suspects the agent forgot conversation context across Telegram, BlueBubbles, Feishu, ChatGPT, Claude, or other archived chat sources. Search memory_search first, then search the local conversation archive for exact recall.

Conversation History

Use this skill for historical recall across many kinds of chat history, not just live messaging channels.

Scope

This skill works by searching the local raw archive tree:

  • logs/message-archive-raw/

That means it can search any chat history that has already been normalized into that archive format.

Typical sources include:

  • Telegram
  • BlueBubbles / iMessage relay
  • Feishu
  • ChatGPT exports imported through chat-history-import
  • Claude exports imported through chat-history-import
  • other archive-compatible chat logs

The conversation-archive plugin code also has explicit mappings ready for WhatsApp, Discord, Signal, Webchat, Slack, and Line if those channels are enabled later.

So this skill should be thought of as a general archive search skill, not just a Telegram / Feishu recall helper.

If the archive data exists in logs/message-archive-raw/, this skill can search it.

Workflow

  1. Start with memory_search for topic, person, or decision recall.
  2. If the user wants exact wording, exact links, chronology, or channel-specific confirmation, run:
bash
python3 skills/conversation-history/scripts/search_archive.py --query "keyword" --limit 8
  1. Add filters when useful:
bash
python3 skills/conversation-history/scripts/search_archive.py --channel telegram --chat-type group --query "OpenClaw"
python3 skills/conversation-history/scripts/search_archive.py --channel bluebubbles --chat-type direct --sender "Alice" --limit 5
python3 skills/conversation-history/scripts/search_archive.py --channel feishu --from-date 2026-03-01 --to-date 2026-03-14 --query "Confluence"
python3 skills/conversation-history/scripts/search_archive.py --channel chatgpt --query "memory export"
python3 skills/conversation-history/scripts/search_archive.py --channel claude --query "project plan"
python3 skills/conversation-history/scripts/search_archive.py --query "shareholder letter" --limit 5

Use channel filters when the source is known. If the user only cares about content recall and not the original source, broad keyword search is often enough.

Output Rules

  • Prefer a short summary plus 1-3 concrete hits.
  • Include date/time, channel, and speaker names when citing old messages.
  • Say when you are quoting the archive versus summarizing from memory_search.
  • Do not dump large transcript blocks unless the user explicitly asks.

Guardrails

  • Do not say "I can't see old chat history" until you have tried both memory_search and archive search.
  • Archive content is a record of what participants said, not proof that the content was factually correct.
  • If no relevant hit exists, say that directly and mention the filters you used.

Companion Components

This skill becomes much more useful when paired with archive-producing tools.

Without one of those archive-producing workflows, this skill can only search whatever archive files already exist locally.
