A skill for saving the current Claude Code or Codex conversation transcript to Artifacta, a service for storing these session records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to capture and store a session log, verify the saved snapshot, and report its artifact details without printing the transcript contents.
Why use it?
It helps preserve the exact working conversation for later retrieval while checking that the captured file is the active transcript.

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

capture-transcript 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 1mo 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

Capture a supported agent transcript

Store the current conversation log in Artifacta. This skill is only for the session transcript; use persisting-outputs for reports, datasets, generated files, or other run outputs.

Select the provider workflow

Determine the current host from the active runtime and session context:

  • In Claude Code, read references/claude-code.md completely and follow it.
  • In Codex, read references/codex.md completely and follow it.
  • If the host cannot be identified, stop and ask the user which supported host is running. Never guess a transcript format or location.

Shared safety rules

  • Verify, never guess. Recency alone does not identify the current transcript.
  • Never push an unverified file.
  • Copy the actively written transcript and upload only the private snapshot.
  • No redaction on push: Artifacta does not automatically scan or remove credentials or other secrets from transcript bytes.
  • Never print transcript bytes, base64 content, credentials, or environment dumps in diagnostics or the final response.
  • Report the artifact ID, filename, decoded size, capture kind, and the retrieval method used by the selected provider workflow.
  • Model metadata is a captured producer claim, not a cryptographic attestation. Describe models_used as models observed, not an exhaustive list.
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
