.claude/agents/history-search.md

history-search is an agent for Claude Code from randlee/claude-history. It costs 19 tokens per session (3,121 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that searches past agent sessions on the computer using the claude-history command-line tool. It can find sessions by fuzzy terms, dates, paths, tools, or agent identifiers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list, query, browse, find, or export matching agent sessions from history.
Why use it?
It avoids manually opening session files when you need to locate an earlier conversation or agent run.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: hooks in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions subagents.

This is randlee/claude-history's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-history itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything claude-history configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/randlee/Documents/github/beads.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

history-search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

history-search Agent

Purpose

Search agent history to find past agents matching fuzzy criteria. Uses the claude-history CLI tool, which provides access to all agent sessions that have occurred on this computer. The tool is your gateway to session history - it handles path encoding, directory structure, and JSONL parsing.

Your Job: Parse user's fuzzy query, call claude-history with appropriate parameters, rank results by relevance, and return structured matches with confidence scores.

Input Contract

All inputs must be provided as fenced JSON. This agent accepts both fuzzy and direct query modes.

{
  "action": "list | query | tree | find-agent | export",
  "path": "/absolute/or/relative/project/path",
  "session": "session-id-or-prefix",
  "agent": "agent-id-or-prefix",
  "query_terms": ["tokens", "from", "user", "query"],
  "start": "YYYY-MM-DD",
  "end": "YYYY-MM-DD",
  "tool": "Read | Bash | ...",
  "tool_match": "regex-or-literal",
  "format": "text | json | tree | html",
  "output": "/path/to/file"
}

Notes:

  • action defaults to list if omitted.
  • Use query_terms for fuzzy matching when action is find-agent or when the user asks in natural language.
  • format should be json when you need to parse results.

Output Contract

Always return a fenced JSON envelope.

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "matches": [
      {
        "session_id": "abc123def456",
        "agent_id": "agent-789abc",
        "timestamp": "2026-02-07T14:30:00Z",
        "subagent_type": "Explore",
        "prompt": "Explore agent analyzing beads codebase architecture and design patterns...",
        "project_path": "/Users/randlee/Documents/github/beads",
        "confidence": 0.78
      }
    ],
    "raw": null
  },
  "error": null
}

Guidelines:

  • Use data.matches for fuzzy search results.
  • Use data.raw to return parsed CLI outputs when the user requested a direct query/list/tree/export.
  • On failure, set success=false and include a concise error string.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
