Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00025 | $0.00639 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00319 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00128 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00064 |
Grade A, and why
export-timeline-pdf 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 9d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Export timeline PDF
Export chat history through piclaw's internal localhost HTML export endpoint and render it with wkhtmltopdf.
Steps
-
Export the last 50 messages:
bun ../../scripts/export-timeline-pdf.ts --chat web:default --last 50 -
Export a date range:
bun ../../scripts/export-timeline-pdf.ts --chat web:default \ --from "2026-03-01T00:00:00Z" --to "2026-03-05T23:59:59Z" -
Export a specific message range by row ID:
bun ../../scripts/export-timeline-pdf.ts --chat web:default \ --from-row 1234 --to-row 1300 -
Dark theme:
bun ../../scripts/export-timeline-pdf.ts --chat web:default --last 20 --theme dark
Options
| Flag | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--chat |
Chat JID to export | web:default |
--from |
Start timestamp (ISO 8601) | (all) |
--to |
End timestamp (ISO 8601) | (all) |
--from-row |
Start message row ID | (all) |
--to-row |
End message row ID | (all) |
--last |
Export only the last N messages | (all) |
--theme |

light |
--out |
Output PDF path | /workspace/exports/timeline-<chat>.pdf |
--port |
Piclaw web port | auto-detect / 8080 |
--auth-key |
Internal export auth key | env/config lookup |
--html-only |
Save HTML sidecar without rendering PDF | off |
Auth
The internal endpoint is only available on localhost and requires an internal auth key. The script resolves it in this order:
--auth-keyPICLAW_EXPORT_AUTH_KEYPICLAW_INTERNAL_SECRETPICLAW_WEB_INTERNAL_SECRETweb.internalSecretfrom/workspace/.piclaw/config.json
Prerequisites
wkhtmltopdfmust be installed and available onPATH- piclaw web server must be running locally
Notes
- The script is read-only: it never opens SQLite and never writes auth/session state.
- The HTML export endpoint is
GET /internal/export/timeline. - The script writes an HTML sidecar next to the PDF for inspection, then renders that local file so bearer tokens are not passed to
wkhtmltopdf.
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.

export-timeline-pdf is a skill published in the GitHub repository rcarmo/piclaw-addons (23 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 639 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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.
