conversation-history

conversation-history is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from XyrusCode/ai-sync. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,801 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A conversation-context tool that condenses long sessions, keeps current objectives visible, and records useful project decisions for later work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during multi-step tasks to manage session history and maintain a committed conversation log for future reloading.
Why use it?
Long conversations can fill the available context with old outputs and cause the agent to lose track of goals. This keeps working context smaller and preserves important decisions.

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

conversation-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 17d 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.

Conversation History Skill

Manage live session context to prevent token waste and goal drift.

Raw conversation transcripts quickly bloat with tool outputs, file contents, compiler diagnostics, and intermediate exploratory turns. This causes context rot: the model re-reads files it already saw, loses sight of the original task, and burns tokens on stale history.

This skill operates across two levels:

  1. Intra-session working context: Anchoring immediate objectives and pruning noisy tool outputs during execution.
  2. Project decision log (CONVERSATION_HISTORY.md): Maintaining a committed chronological log in the repository that enables fast rehydration, records scope boundaries, and preserves exact verification proofs.

Non-Interference Rules (Zero Overhead)

  1. Never hunt for missing stores: If ~/.agents/memory/ or MEMORY.md is missing, skip it silently in zero turns. Never shell out looking for install.sh or attempt to bootstrap an external store.
  2. Never hunt for missing graphs: If graphify-out/graph.json does not exist, skip it silently. Do not run commands to build or install a graph during task execution.
  3. No automatic memory promotion: Transient npm errors, build quirks, and local environment hiccups are not cross-project gotchas. Never chain into memory-authoring automatically at task completion. Only promote when explicitly instructed by the user.
  4. Clean finish: When verification passes, record the outcome and stop. Never invent exit side quests.

When to use

  • A conversation reaches 15+ turns or accumulates large tool outputs (test suites, build logs, file dumps).
  • You notice the agent re-reading previously loaded files or drifting from the core task.
  • Beginning a multi-phase implementation where each phase builds on previous decisions.
  • Starting a fresh session and needing to rehydrate project context with minimal token spend.
  • Winding down a session to record settled decisions, code changes, and test proofs in CONVERSATION_HISTORY.md.

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.

conversation-history is a skill published in the GitHub repository XyrusCode/ai-sync (2 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 1,801 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-30.
