What it does

History is an agent skill from shepherdjerred/monorepo. Search local Conductor, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode work history with toolkit.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Monorepo for all of my projects. The licence is GPL-3.0.

Example prompts

  • “/history”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit da14ae9. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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 loads about 870 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 382 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~870

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.

Local agent history

Use the local index for recollection and prior-work discovery. It is not a deployment or CI status oracle.

First-time setup

bash
toolkit history daemon install
toolkit history daemon status

The daemon is a user-scoped macOS LaunchAgent. It polls the source stores every 30 seconds and writes only to ~/.toolkit/history/. daemon reindex requests a full scan; daemon stop unloads the job, and daemon uninstall also removes the plist.

Search recipes

bash
# What did I work on last week?
toolkit history recent --since 7d

# Didn't I solve this before? Narrow first, then inspect one selected record.
toolkit history search "argocd prune" --since 90d
toolkit history show <ID_FROM_SEARCH> --query "argocd prune"

# Limit the search to one client or return structured output.
toolkit history search "ingress" --source conductor --json

# Check coverage before interpreting an empty result.
toolkit history sources
toolkit history daemon status --json

Supported sources are conductor, claude, codex, cursor, opencode-conductor, and opencode-standalone. Search uses BM25 relevance; recency only breaks ties. Unquoted terms are AND-prefix matches. To request an exact phrase, preserve literal quotes in the query, for example toolkit history search '"Bryan Bucks"'.

Search and recent hide the current Conductor/Codex run and group parallel sessions that opened with the same normalized prompt. Use --include-current or --include-duplicates to override those defaults. --include-excerpts reopens only returned records and adds 360-character dialogue-first excerpts.

show is the normal second stage. By default it returns the opening request plus latest dialogue, bounded to eight messages and 6,000 characters. With --query, it centers on the best dialogue match and admits only matching tool messages; --include-tools admits all nearby tools. System instructions, reasoning, and compaction records are excluded. Cursor messages use unknown because its flattened index has no roles. IDs are local to the current rebuild; rerun search if an ID is missing.

Search JSON is { query, results, warnings }, recent JSON is { results, warnings }, and show JSON is { record, messages, truncated }. Human-readable source warnings go to stderr. An unavailable source is silent in an all-source query when it is merely uninstalled, but warns when explicitly requested.

For “what is the current status?”, use history to find the relevant branch, PR, or workspace, then verify the live state separately with toolkit deployed, toolkit pr health, or the relevant system client. Do not infer merged, deployed, reachable, or running state from a transcript.

Privacy and failure boundaries

  • The index is a rebuildable contentless FTS5 database at ~/.toolkit/history/index.sqlite; the daemon socket, state, logs, and plist are user-private.
  • Source SQLite databases and JSONL files are read-only. Schema changes are reported per source through history sources; they are not silently ignored.
  • Standalone OpenCode ~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json is credentials and is never read, printed, copied, indexed, or committed.
  • Do not place transcript contents, index databases, daemon state, LaunchAgent files, or credentials in the repository or .context/.

How do I install History in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add shepherdjerred/monorepo --skill history -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (packages/toolkit/skills/history in shepherdjerred/monorepo) into .claude/skills/history in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install History in Codex?

Run `npx skills add shepherdjerred/monorepo --skill history -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (packages/toolkit/skills/history in shepherdjerred/monorepo) into .agents/skills/history in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use History 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 shepherdjerred/monorepo --skill history -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/history, .gemini/skills/history, .github/skills/history and .opencode/skills/history in your project.

What does History need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: History is instructions for the agent only.

Does History 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 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. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does History use?

History is published under the GPL-3.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does History use?

About 870 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
