claude-historian
Automatic history search — checks past sessions before web research, planning, and debugging, siblings deepen coverage
What this skill does
# Historian Plugin
Session memory. Checks past sessions before redundant research, planning, or debugging.
## Hooks
| Hook | When | Action |
|------|------|--------|
| **PreToolUse(WebSearch/WebFetch)** | Before web research | Checks `find_similar_queries()` first |
| **PreToolUse(EnterPlanMode)** | Before planning | Searches `search_plans()` for past approaches |
| **PreToolUse(Task)** | Before agents | Checks `find_tool_patterns()` for workflows |
| **PostToolUse(Bash)** | After errors | Suggests `get_error_solutions()` |
## Commands
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `/search-historian <query>` | Search past sessions for solutions, decisions, context |
## Workflows
### Search (standalone)
1. `search_conversations("query")` — full-text across all sessions
2. If error-related: `get_error_solutions("error pattern")`
3. If file-related: `find_file_context("filename")`
4. Summarize relevant findings
### Search (with siblings)
1. `search_conversations("query")` — historian's own search
2. If **praetorian** active: `praetorian_restore("query")` for compacted context (denser than raw history)
3. If **oracle** active: `search("query")` when error patterns suggest a missing tool
4. Combine: historian provides breadth (all sessions), praetorian provides depth (curated insights)
### Error Resolution (standalone)
1. `get_error_solutions("error pattern")` — how was this fixed before?
2. If found: apply the previous solution
3. If not: proceed with normal debugging
### Error Resolution (with siblings)
1. `get_error_solutions("error pattern")` — historian checks past fixes
2. If **oracle** active: `search("error tool")` for tools that address this error class
3. If **gladiator** active: check if this error was already observed as a pattern
4. Present combined findings: past fix + available tools + pattern context
## Sibling Synergy
| Sibling | Value | How |
|---------|-------|-----|
| **Praetorian** | Research will be compacted after | Praetorian prompts saving after web searches historian triggers |
| **Oracle** | Tools found for error patterns | Oracle searches for tools when historian finds recurring errors |
| **Gladiator** | Observations correlate with history | Past solutions enrich gladiator reflection |
| **Vigil** | Checkpoints complement history | File state preserved alongside session history |
## MCP Tools Reference
| Tool | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `search_conversations` | General history search |
| `find_similar_queries` | Find related past questions |
| `get_error_solutions` | Find how errors were fixed |
| `find_file_context` | Track file changes |
| `find_tool_patterns` | Discover successful workflows |
| `list_recent_sessions` | Browse recent work |
| `search_plans` | Find past implementation plans |

IncludedDraws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.
