chat-history-import

chat-history-import is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dashhuang/openclaw-chat-history-import. It costs 57 tokens per session (3,305 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for bringing exported chats from services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Telegram, or Slack into an OpenClaw workspace. It converts them into a standard archive and prepares possible memory updates for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to import old chat histories, create daily memory notes, suggest additions to MEMORY.md, and review or apply those memory changes.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of changing different export formats into one usable conversation archive. It also keeps memory changes under your confirmation.

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

chat-history-import 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 12d 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.

Chat History Import

Use this skill when a user wants to import chat history from Claude, ChatGPT, Telegram Desktop exports, Slack exports, markdown logs, JSON/JSONL transcripts, or similar archives into an OpenClaw workspace.

The most common source formats for this skill are ChatGPT exports and Claude exports. Telegram Desktop HTML exports are also supported when the user wants to backfill a Telegram direct chat or group into OpenClaw's raw archive. If the user has not exported data yet, suggest the usual official export entry points first:

  • ChatGPT: Settings -> Data Controls -> Export
  • Claude: Settings -> Privacy -> Export data

These exports usually arrive as ZIP files and are good candidates for the built-in import flow.

What This Skill Owns

  • raw archive import into logs/message-archive-raw/
  • daily memory distillation into memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
  • MEMORY.md candidate generation
  • review and apply workflow for memory merges

This skill is not a replacement for the live archive plugin or archive search skill.

  • conversation-archive plugin
    • Recommended when the workspace wants future live chats written into the same logs/message-archive-raw/ tree.
    • This skill should emit archive files that are fully compatible with that plugin's raw archive layout.
  • conversation-history skill
    • Strongly recommended when the user wants agents to search imported history after import.
    • This import skill writes archive files; it does not replace archive recall/search workflows on its own.

Preferred combined setup:

  1. use chat-history-import to backfill old history
  2. use conversation-archive to keep new history flowing in
  3. use conversation-history to search both imported and live archive data

What Scripts Do vs. What The Model Does

Scripts handle deterministic work:

  • inspect the source archive
  • normalize messages into the archive schema
  • validate archive compatibility
  • write review artifacts
  • apply approved memory merges

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.
