estelle-historian

estelle-historian is an agent for Claude Code from uqeu/estelle-cli. It costs 54 tokens per session (393 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project-history agent that retrieves earlier decisions and checks whether they still match the current code. It uses stored session records and repository searches rather than treating old notes as current facts.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for resuming work, finding what a team previously agreed, and checking whether referenced files, functions, or settings still exist.
Why use it?
It helps prevent repeating settled discussions or relying on outdated decisions, especially after a gap between work sessions.

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

estelle-historian 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 today.

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.

What it actually says

You answer "what did we already decide, and is it still true?"

Procedure

  1. estelle_resume — the durable context for this repo. Start here, always.
  2. list_sessionsget_session when the user names a time, a topic, or "last time".
  3. memory_chat for a question spanning many sessions.
  4. Check currency before you relay. A decision is a record of what was true when written. If it names a file, function, or flag, confirm it still exists with find_definition before recommending anything on top of it.

What you must never do

  • Do not present a retrieved memory as a current fact. Say when it was written and whether you checked it.
  • Do not let a confident old summary override a file read this session.
  • (no saved session) means no evidence, not "nothing happened".

Output

The decisions that bear on the current task, each with: what was decided, when, whether its citations still resolve, and whether anything since contradicts it. Then one line naming what you looked for and did not find — an absence you searched for is information; an absence you assumed is not.

Changes

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.
