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

specstory-session-summary 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 157 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context

You will analyze recent SpecStory session history files to provide a standup-style summary.

Argument provided: $ARGUMENTS (default: 5 sessions, or "today" for today's sessions only)

Your Task

Step 1: Find Recent Sessions

First, check if the SpecStory history folder exists and list recent session files:

ls -t .specstory/history/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -20

If no .specstory/history folder exists or it's empty, respond with:

No SpecStory session history found in this directory.

SpecStory automatically saves your AI coding sessions for later reference. To start recording your sessions, install SpecStory from https://specstory.com

Then stop - do not proceed with the remaining steps.

If sessions are found, continue with the analysis. If the argument is "today", filter to today's date. Otherwise use the number provided (default 5).

Step 2: Read and Analyze Each Session

Session files can be very large and may contain multiple user requests. Use this chunked reading strategy:

Step 2a: Understand the session structure

First, grep for all user message markers to see the session's scope:

grep -n "_\*\*User\*\*_" <file> | head -10

This shows line numbers of user messages, helping you understand:

  • How many distinct requests were made
  • Where to read for each request's context

Step 2b: Read strategically based on structure

  1. Beginning (first 500 lines) - Read with offset=0, limit=500

    • Captures the initial request even if it includes pasted code/logs
    • May include early assistant responses showing the approach taken
  2. End (last 300 lines) - Use tail -300 <file> via Bash

    • Contains the final outcome and conclusion
    • Shows whether tasks were completed or left pending
  3. File operations - Grep for modifications:

    grep -E "(Edit|Write)\(" <file>
    

Step 2c: For multi-request sessions

If the grep in 2a shows multiple user messages at distant line numbers (e.g., lines 50, 800, 1500), this indicates multiple distinct tasks. For these sessions:

  • Read around each user message line number (e.g., offset=795, limit=100)
  • Summarize the 2-3 main tasks rather than just the first one

What ships with it

1 file 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.
