ape-context: Skill for Claude Code

.github/skills/context-history/SKILL.md

context-history is a skill for Claude Code from suuus/ape-context. It costs 19 tokens per session (1,740 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that examines GitHub Copilot session records from the last 30 days, including messages, edited files, repositories, and linked work items.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find repeated work patterns, common intentions, areas of focus, and how work is distributed across a team.
Why use it?
It helps reveal what a person or team actually works on, beyond what project documents say. It requires explicit permission before reading the history.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter.

This is suuus/ape-context's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ape-context itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ape-context configures →

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

context-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 7d 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 — 198 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Analyze the user's Copilot session history to extract behavioural patterns that reveal implicit intent, recurring workflows, and areas of focus. This complements documentation-based analysis — docs tell you what the team says they value, history tells you what they actually do.

Data Source

Use the session_store_sql tool to query the cloud session store. This contains all past Copilot sessions with:

  • sessions — id, repository, branch, summary, timestamps
  • turns — user messages and assistant responses per session
  • session_files — files edited/created per session
  • session_refs — commits, PRs, and issues linked to sessions

Use scope: "personal" for individual patterns, scope: "repository" for team-wide patterns when the user wants a broader view.

Before running any queries or asking about scope, you MUST ask the user for explicit permission using ask_user. Do NOT proceed until the user grants consent.

Present the following information clearly:

What: This skill reads your Copilot session history from the last 30 days — session summaries, files you edited, repos you worked in, issues/PRs you referenced, and the messages you sent to Copilot.

How: It queries a cloud session store using read-only SQL. Nothing is modified, created, or shared externally. The data stays in this conversation. When using "repository" scope, only aggregate patterns are analysed — individual messages from other contributors are not surfaced.

Why: By understanding what you actually work on (not just what's documented), the context wizard can generate more accurate Copilot instructions, detect workflow gaps, and surface patterns you might not notice yourself — like frequently edited files, cross-repo coupling, or missing ticket references.

Use ask_user with a boolean consent field. Example:

message: |
  🔒 **Session history analysis — permission required**

  This skill will **read your Copilot session history** from the last 30 days to discover work patterns and recurring workflows.

  **What is accessed:**
  • Session summaries and timestamps
  • Files you edited or created
  • Repositories you worked in
  • Issues and PRs referenced in sessions
  • Messages you sent to Copilot (truncated to 200 chars)

  **How:** Read-only SQL queries against the cloud session store. Nothing is modified or shared.

  **Why:** To generate better Copilot instructions by understanding your actual workflow — not just what's documented.

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.
