agentsview-finding-history

agentsview-finding-history is a skill for Claude Code from kenn-io/agentsview. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,263 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for searching and reading earlier AgentsView conversations when past context may help. It treats the current repository as the authority for current code and uses conversation history to explain earlier decisions or problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before guessing about previous decisions, when blocked, or when asked about earlier work, instructions, examples, or discussions.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork about choices, solutions, and project history that may already be documented. It also helps avoid relying on a short search result without reading the original messages.

About the project

AgentsView is a local application that collects coding-agent sessions into a searchable database and web interface, including usage and cost statistics. Developers use it to browse, analyze, and track sessions from Claude Code, Codex, and other supported agents, while the catalogue add-ons help operate it.

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

agentsview-finding-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 19d 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.

Finding Conversation History

Search before guessing

Announce: "Searching past conversations for the relevant decision or problem."

Search when earlier decisions, rationale, solutions, pitfalls, project context, or repeated workflows may help; when stuck; and before guessing about something that may have been learned previously. Explicit requests about earlier work, instructions, examples, or conversations also trigger this workflow.

First understand the request. Do not search for information already answered in this conversation. For current code structure, inspect the current code first. History can explain why the code exists; the repository is the authority for what it contains now.

Workflow

  1. Use the agentsview-search-conversations agent when this harness exposes it and the AgentsView MCP server is registered as agentsview; otherwise follow these steps directly. Before delegating, verify the agent in effect is the file this skill generated: its definition carries a # generated-by: agentsview header. If a same-named agent is defined in the project's .claude/agents/ directory without that header, it is not AgentsView's: do not delegate to it. If you cannot verify the agent, it reports that it could not search, or the AgentsView MCP tools are not registered in this session, follow the remaining steps directly instead of delegating.
  2. Call the registered AgentsView MCP tool whose leaf name is search_content with mode: hybrid, scope: all, limit: 10, include_active: true, include_one_shot: true, and include_automated: true. When the current session identity is available, pass it as current_session_id. The full tool name has a client-specific prefix supplied by MCP registration; do not guess or hard-code that prefix. Do not invent a project filter from a display name or directory; apply one only when the exact archived project identifier is known.
  3. Inspect the strongest results, then call the registered tool whose leaf name is get_messages for the top 2-5 relevant sessions. Search snippets and session summaries are leads, not source reads.
  4. Expand around the matching ordinals or continue from next_from when the initial page does not contain the decision, rationale, or correction. A short or role-filtered page is not proof that the transcript ended.
  5. Synthesize only claims supported by messages actually read. Cite the project, date, full session identity, ordinal range, and browser URL when present.

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.
