Skill: History

Purpose

Browse and search past analyses from the analysis archive. Helps users recall what they've analyzed before, find prior findings, and build on previous work.

When to Use

• User says

  /history

  or "what have I analyzed before?"
• At session start, to provide context on prior work
• When framing a new question, to check if similar analysis exists

Invocation

/history

— list recent analyses (last 10)

/history {id}

— show full details for a specific analysis

/history search={term}

— search by title, question, or tags

/history --all

— list all analyses across all datasets

/history dataset={id}

— filter to a specific dataset

Instructions

Step 1: Load Archive

1. Read

   .knowledge/analyses/index.yaml

2. If empty: "No analyses archived yet. Complete an analysis and it will appear here."

Step 2: Execute Command

List recent (

/history

):

• Filter to active dataset (unless

  --all

  flag)
• Sort by date descending
• Show last 10 as a table: date, title, level, key finding count, dataset
• Show total count: "Showing 10 of {total} analyses."

Show specific (

/history {id}

):

• Find entry by ID in index
• Display: title, date, question, level, all key findings, metrics used, agents used, output files, tags, confidence, recommendations
• If output files exist, offer: "Want to review the full analysis?"

Search (

/history search={term}

):

• Search across: title, question, key_findings, tags (case-insensitive)
• Display matching entries as a table
• If no matches: "No analyses match '{term}'. Try broader terms."

All datasets (

/history --all

):

• Include dataset_id column in output
• Sort by date descending across all datasets

Step 3: Contextual Suggestions

After displaying history:

• "Want to re-run this analysis with fresh data?"
• "Want to build on finding #{n}?"
• If recent analysis was partial: "This analysis was incomplete. Resume with

  /resume-pipeline

  ."

Edge Cases

• No active dataset: Show all analyses or prompt to connect
• Archive file missing: Create empty index
• Analysis output files deleted: Note "output files no longer available"
• Very long history (>100): Paginate, show 20 at a time
