local-conversation-history
An agent skill by daymade, from daymade/claude-code-skills. Tags: analysis, history, local-workflow, multi-agent, triage.
What it does
Entry point for local AI conversation history across providers. Routes a request to the one skill that owns it, by platform (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Kimi CLI) and action (read evidence vs continue interrupted work), and owns the one job none of them own alone: a single inventory spanning all three providers. Use when the provider is unknown or plural ("our history", "what have I been working on", "which chats did I have"), when the user wants Kimi CLI history at all, when it is unclear whether they need evidence or resumption, or when they ask for this skill by name. Vague recall that names no platform ("we discussed this once, when was it?") belongs here rather than to a single-provider reader, because a Claude-only answer to an unscoped question cannot support an absence claim. When the platform and the action are both already clear, load that executor skill directly instead — except Kimi CLI, which has no reader or continuation skill of its own and always routes through here.
Install
With the skills CLI, which installs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents:
npx skills add daymade/claude-code-skills --skill local-conversation-history
Or copy the skill folder into Claude Code's skills directory by hand (~/.claude/skills for every project, or .claude/skills inside one):
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills
cp -r claude-code-skills/daymade-claude-code/local-conversation-history ~/.claude/skills/local-conversation-history
Safety box score
Grade B, low risk: 16 of 100 risk points, rated 2026-10-18. The grade rates what the skill and its scripts can reach on the machine of whoever installs it, across eight categories from shell execution to secrets access. How the score works.
This is a pure routing skill for local conversation history: it decides whether to use a reader or continuation skill and does not itself parse logs or run commands. The main blast radius is exposure of past chat content, including potentially sensitive material already present in history, while the skill ships no executable code.
| Category | Level | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Code & shell execution | 0 (none) | No shell commands or code execution are shipped here; the file only routes to other skills and explicitly says not to run parsing pipelines in this skill. |
| Network access | 0 (none) | The skill does not download data or send anything to remote hosts; it only references local history workflows. |
| Filesystem reach | 0 (none) | This router does not read, write, or delete files itself; it only names history readers and inventory/lookup paths conceptually. |
| Secrets & credentials | 2 (moderate) | It is explicitly for verbatim local conversation history and exact-session evidence, so it can surface anything previously discussed in chats, including secrets if they were ever pasted there. |
| Privilege & persistence | 0 (none) | There is no sudo, service registration, shell-profile editing, or OS-setting change in the skill. |
| Instruction hijack surface | 1 (low) | The markdown contains strong agent-facing directives such as "Do not run provider-specific parsing, SQLite, rg, jq, or JSONL pipelines here," but they are scoped routing instructions rather than attempts to override higher-priority rules. |
| Irreversible actions | 0 (none) | It only selects read/continue skills and says resumption follows a read; it does not itself send messages, deploy, pay, or otherwise act externally. |
| Transparency | 0 (none) | The shipped content is plain, readable Markdown with no binaries, installers, or decoded-at-runtime payloads. |
Before installing
- Read `SKILL.md` end-to-end and confirm you are comfortable with it exposing verbatim past chat content.
- Verify the downstream reader/continuation skills it names are trusted, since this skill delegates to them.
- Check that no extra scripts or binaries ship with the package; this one should remain plain Markdown only.
