What it does
Chronicle is an agent skill from obra/dotfiles. Allows you to view the user's screen as well as several hours of history. Use when the user makes a reference to their recent work, for which it'd be helpful to see the screen. This skill MUST be used whenever you need to resolve ambiguity in a user request, where the user hasn't specified enough context to do the task. Examples include disambiguating the specific user/app/document/error the user is referring to. You must also use this skill if the user asks about any question regarding Chronicle or asks what you…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
When your agent uses it
- The user makes a reference to their recent work
- For which itd be helpful to see the screen
- The user asks about any question regarding Chronicle
- Asks what you can see from the screen
Example prompts
- “Use the chronicle skill to allow you to view the user's screen as well as several hours of history”
- “/chronicle”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit df3be56. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
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
Chronicle loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 139 tokens; SKILL.md has 581 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 581 words (~1,396 tokens).
“This skill allows you to view the user's screen. This skill is enabled because the user has enabled the Codex screen recording (Chronicle) feature, which records a rolling buffer of the past several hours of work to $TMPDIR/chronicle/screen_recording.”
