Get History Skill

Purpose: Provide direct access to raw conversation history stored by Claude Code for debugging and conversation analysis.

When to Use:

• When investigating tool call sequences
• To verify what happened earlier in a session
• When analyzing agent behavior patterns
• To debug unexpected outcomes

Skill Capabilities

1. Access Current Session Conversation

Location: /home/node/.config/projects/-workspace/{session-id}.jsonl

Session ID: The session ID is automatically available as ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID} in this skill.

cat /home/node/.config/projects/-workspace/${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}.jsonl

2. Parse Conversation Structure

Entry Types:

• type: "summary" - High-level conversation summary
• type: "message" - User or assistant messages
• type: "tool_use" - Tool invocations
• type: "tool_result" - Tool outputs

Extract Messages:

# Get all user messages
jq 'select(.type == "message" and .role == "user") | .content' conversation.jsonl

# Get all tool uses with names
jq 'select(.type == "tool_use") | {name: .name, input: .input}' conversation.jsonl

3. Agent Sidechain Conversations

Path Pattern: /home/node/.config/projects/-workspace/agent-{agent-id}.jsonl

# Find all agent sidechain logs
ls -lht ~/.config/projects/-workspace/agent-*.jsonl | head -10

Error Handling

If session ID not in context, report error - do NOT guess.
