In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list recent runs or filter workflow history by supported arguments.
Why use it?
It gives you a history of past workflow results instead of making you search through files or remember previous runs.

About the project

Claude Octopus is an orchestration project that sends research, design, and coding tasks to Claude Code and other AI model providers so their results can be compared. Developers use it for multi-model work, disagreement detection, reviews, persistent context, and an optional workflow that moves from discovery through delivery. The catalogue entries are its commands, skills, agents, instructions, hooks, plugins, and settings.

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 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 8d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to octo-history — 3 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Workflow History (/octo:history)

Your first output line MUST be: 🐙 Octopus History

Query structured records of past Claude Octopus workflow runs.

EXECUTION CONTRACT (Mandatory)

When the user invokes /octo:history, follow these steps in order.

STEP 1: Locate Run Store

Check for the run store file:

RUN_STORE="${HOME}/.claude-octopus/runs/run-log.jsonl"
if [[ -f "$RUN_STORE" ]]; then
    TOTAL=$(wc -l < "$RUN_STORE" | tr -d ' ')
    echo "Run store: $TOTAL entries"
else
    echo "No run store found at $RUN_STORE"
    echo ""
    echo "The run store records results from multi-AI workflows:"
    echo "  /octo:discover  - Multi-AI research"
    echo "  /octo:develop   - Multi-AI implementation"
    echo "  /octo:review    - Multi-AI code review"
    echo "  /octo:debate    - Multi-AI deliberation"
    echo "  /octo:embrace   - Full 4-phase lifecycle"
    echo ""
    echo "Run any multi-AI workflow to start recording history."
fi

If no run store exists, show the guidance above and stop.

STEP 2: Parse Arguments

Accept optional arguments for filtering:

Argument Effect Example
(none) Show last 10 runs /octo:history
N (number) Show last N runs /octo:history 20
workflow name Filter by workflow /octo:history discover
date (YYYY-MM-DD) Filter by date /octo:history 2026-03-21
stats Show summary statistics /octo:history stats
experiments Show experiment logs /octo:history experiments

Multiple arguments can be combined: /octo:history discover 2026-03-21

STEP 3: Display Results

For each matching run, display as a table row:

Workflow History (last N runs)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Date         Workflow     Providers           Findings  Status   Duration

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.
