Agent History Skill | TokenySpace

What this skill does

ochist exposes past conversation history from local AI coding agents (OpenCode, Claude Code, and any other registered source) as plain, pipe-friendly text — so you can recover earlier research, commands, errors, and decisions instead of redoing them.

It is READ-ONLY and never modifies any data store. By default it queries EVERY agent whose data exists on this machine; restrict with --source.

When to use

Use it proactively when the user:

Refers to earlier work: "之前/上次/我们讨论过/已经配置过", "what did we do", "recall".
Asks to find a past command, error+fix, file change, or decision.
Starts research you may have already done in a prior session.

Check history FIRST in these cases — it is cheaper than re-researching.

Scope: project vs global

sessions and grep default to the current project — sessions whose working directory is the current directory or a subdirectory of it. Sibling git worktrees of the same repo are included automatically, so a session run in a linked worktree still shows up from the main checkout (and vice versa). To widen or narrow:

--global / -g — search ALL sessions across every directory.
--dir <path> — scope to a specific directory instead of the cwd.
--no-worktrees — strict single-directory scope (don't expand to worktrees).

Rule of thumb: start project-scoped (more relevant, less noise); if you find nothing, retry with --global.

Golden rule: page, don't dump

Sessions can have hundreds of parts and large tool outputs. NEVER read a whole session blindly. Narrow first, then pull only what you need:

Locate → ochist grep <pattern> or ochist sessions
Orient → ochist meta <session> (cheap, reliable card)
Scan → ochist show <session> (one line per part)
Read → ochist part <part_id> (only the parts that matter)

Pipe through grep, head, wc -l, awk, jq to keep output small.

Commands

ochist sources
    List known agents and whether each has data on this machine.

ochist sessions [--source N] [--global|-g] [--dir PATH] [--no-worktrees] [--limit N] [--json]
    Recent sessions (current project by default; includes sibling worktrees).
    Columns: time<TAB>source<TAB>slug<TAB>id<TAB>dir<TAB>title

ochist grep <pattern> [--source N] [--global|-g] [--dir PATH] [--no-worktrees] [--session S] [--type text|tool|patch] [--limit N] [--json]
    Search across part content (current project by default).
    Output: part_id<TAB>source<TAB>slug<TAB>tag<TAB>match

ochist meta <session> [--source N] [--json]
    Reliable metadata card: tools, cost, tokens, todos, counts, time.

ochist show <session> [--source N] [--role user|assistant] [--type text|tool|patch] [--full] [--max N] [--json]
    Outline (default): #n<TAB>part_id<TAB>tag<TAB>chars<TAB>preview. --full prints content.

ochist part <part_id> [--source N] [--json]
    Full, untruncated content of a single part.

--source values: opencode, claudecode, qoder, codex (run ochist sources to see all). <session>/<part_id> accept: agent id, slug/prefix, or latest.

Recommended workflow (copy these patterns)

Find which session touched a topic, then read the answer:

ochist grep "ssh" --limit 8                          # candidates + part_id + source
ochist meta silent-star                               # confirm the right session
ochist show silent-star | grep -i "authorized_keys"   # find the exact part id
ochist part prt_xxxxx                                  # read the full message

Browse recent work — current project, a specific dir, or everything:

ochist sessions                          # current project
ochist sessions --dir ~/code/myproject   # a specific project
ochist sessions --global                 # all projects
ochist sessions --source claudecode      # one agent only

Skim only the assistant's conclusions:

ochist show latest --role assistant | head -30

Tips

meta fields (tools, cost, tokens, todos, counts) are 100% reliable — prefer them for a quick, cheap overview.
grep returns one representative line + a part_id; follow up with ochist part <part_id> for full text.
Subagents are folded into their parent session (not listed separately): OpenCode (via parent_id), Codex (via parent_thread_id), and Claude Code subagent output all appear inside the parent's parts, prefixed with [subagent …]. A subagent id/slug resolves to its parent.
Use --json | jq for machine parsing.
If ochist is not on PATH, invoke via: node <repo>/dist/cli.js <args>.
