chain-list

A command that lists the saved chains in a project. A chain is a series of stored notes that preserves work context across separate sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect available project work histories and find the command needed to resume one.
Why use it?
It lets you see which chains exist, how much history each contains, and when each was last updated.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 178 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

chain-list 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Lists all available chains in this project.

Steps

  1. Check if chains directory exists:
ls -d .claude/chains/*/ 2>/dev/null
  1. For each chain, get:
# Chain name (directory name)
# Link count
ls .claude/chains/[chain-name]/*.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l

# Most recent link (by timestamp in filename)
ls .claude/chains/[chain-name]/*.md 2>/dev/null | sort -r | head -1
  1. Show the user:
    • Chain name
    • Number of links
    • Most recent link filename
    • How to load: /chain-load [chain-name]

If no chains exist, suggest using /chain-link [name] to start one.

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.

chain-list is a command published in the GitHub repository DeevsDeevs/agent-system (40 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 178 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
