history

history is a skill for Claude Code from AAWWCC/ape. It costs 18 tokens per session (267 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for querying, explaining, importing, or maintaining APE's machine history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up a run or requirement, render a record for people, import old planning data, or perform explicitly requested maintenance.
Why use it?
It makes past run records and retention results easier to inspect while preserving audit information.

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 5d 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

APE history

Use only when the user explicitly requests APE history work. Call ape_history with:

On Google Antigravity / Gemini, pass the exact open project root as project_dir.

  • query for a run or requirement ID.
  • explain for a human-readable rendering of one record.
  • import for an explicitly requested legacy planning import.
  • maintenance-status to read the latest retention outcome.
  • compact-artifacts only after an explicit maintenance request. Pass the user's non-empty audit reason; optional keep_recent_runs defaults to 32 and max_runs to 64 (maximum 256).

Never describe compaction as deleting immutable history: it verifies an archive before removing only redundant source artifacts and preserves audit logs, prepared transactions, and active or sealed runs. Set delete_legacy: true only when the user explicitly asks to delete eligible legacy machine documents. Report every warning and any bounded/truncated response honestly.

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.
