session-chronicle

session-chronicle is a skill for Claude Code from terrylica/cc-skills. It costs 27 tokens per session (3,775 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A session-provenance log for tracing research findings, architecture decisions, and code changes back to the coding sessions that produced them. It records session identifiers, including sessions started after automatic context compression.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document who created something, link Git commits to coding sessions, record research or architecture decisions, and trace edits across related sessions.
Why use it?
It prevents future maintainers from having to reconstruct where a decision or change came from. It keeps the origin of findings and commits available in project records.

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 B, and why

session-chronicle scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 17 executable files (scripts/extract_context.sh, scripts/extract_session_chain.sh, scripts/generate_commit_message.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Session Chronicle

Excavate Claude Code session logs to capture complete provenance for research findings, ADR decisions, and code contributions. Traces UUID chains across multiple auto-compacted sessions.

CRITICAL PRINCIPLE: Registry entries must be self-contained. Record ALL session UUIDs (main + subagent) at commit time. Future maintainers should not need to run archaeology to understand provenance.

S3 Artifact Sharing: Artifacts can be uploaded to S3 for team access. See S3 Sharing ADR.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

When to Use This Skill

  • User asks "who created this?" or "where did this come from?"
  • User says "document this finding" with full session context
  • ADR or research finding needs provenance tracking
  • Git commit needs session UUID references
  • Tracing edits across auto-compacted sessions
  • Creating a registry entry for a research session

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.

session-chronicle is a skill published in the GitHub repository terrylica/cc-skills (62 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 3,775 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
