# Claude History Ingest — Conversation Mining

You are extracting knowledge from the user's past Claude Code conversations and distilling it into the Obsidian wiki. Conversations are rich but messy — your job is to find the signal and compile it.

This skill can be invoked directly or via the `wiki-history-ingest` router (`/wiki-history-ingest claude`).

## Before You Start

**Writing profile:** Before drafting or rewriting natural-language Markdown, read and apply the `Writing Profile Resolution` section in `llm-wiki/SKILL.md`. Framework schema, provenance, safety, and operation-specific requirements take precedence.
`WRITING.md` preferences apply only to newly drafted or rewritten natural-language Markdown; preserve source content and structured records.

1. **Resolve config** — follow the Config Resolution Protocol in `llm-wiki/SKILL.md` (inline `@name` override → walk up CWD for `.env` → global config → prompt setup). This gives `OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH` and `CLAUDE_HISTORY_PATH` (defaults to `~/.claude`)
2. Read `.manifest.json` at the vault root to check what's already been ingested
3. Read `index.md` at the vault root to know what the wiki already contains
4. **Project Scoping** — read `WIKI_SKIP_PROJECTS` from config (comma-separated substrings). Exclude any project directory whose name contains one of them from **every** step below (scan, delta, sampling, manifest writes). If the user names extra projects to skip this run, add them. Apply the exclusion **once, uniformly** — don't hand-write `grep -v` filters into individual commands, which drifts between the scan and manifest steps.

## Ingest Modes

### Append Mode (default)

Check `.manifest.json` for each source file (conversation JSONL, memory file). Only process:

- Files not in the manifest (new conversations, new memory files, new projects)
- Files whose modification time is newer than their `ingested_at` in the manifest

This is usually what you want — the user ran a few new sessions and wants to capture the delta.

> **Portable keys when comparing.** Manifest keys follow the source key contract (v2) in `llm-wiki/SKILL.md` → `.manifest.json`. A session under `$HOME` is keyed `~`-relative (`~/.claude/projects/.../abc.jsonl`), never by the expanded machine path; vault-relative and pseudo-keys are the other two forms. Before deciding a file is "new", resolve the stored key the same way the tool does (expand `~`/env vars, resolve vault-relative against the vault root) — otherwise an already-tracked file looks new and gets re-ingested. The `scripts/manifest.py` helper does this for you:
>
> ```bash
> # New/modified sources, honoring WIKI_SKIP_PROJECTS + --skip:
> python3 "$OBSIDIAN_WIKI_REPO/scripts/manifest.py" delta "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH" \
>   --scan "$CLAUDE_HISTORY_PATH/projects/*/memory/*.md"
> # One-time repair if the manifest still holds legacy absolute keys:
> python3 "$OBSIDIAN_WIKI_REPO/scripts/manifest.py" migrate "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH" --dry-run
> ```
>
> The helper is optional — if it's unavailable, apply the same resolution inline before every manifest lookup and write.

### Pre-extraction (recommended — run before ingest)

Raw JSONL files are 80-90% noise: `tool_use` blocks, `thinking` blocks, `progress` events, and
`file-history-snapshot` entries dominate by byte count.  The `scripts/extract-jsonl.py` helper
strips all of that and writes compact signal-only JSON to `~/.claude/extracted/`, achieving
**50–200× file-size reduction** (e.g. 12 MB JSONL → 64 KB extracted).  This lets the skill read
5–10× more conversations per run within the same token budget.

Run it as a pre-step before invoking this skill:

```bash
# First run — extract everything (skip excluded projects)
python3 "$OBSIDIAN_WIKI_REPO/scripts/extract-jsonl.py" --skip tsg,autom8

# Incremental — only sessions modified in the last day
python3 "$OBSIDIAN_WIKI_REPO/scripts/extract-jsonl.py" \
    --since "$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)" --skip tsg,autom8
```

Extracted files live at `~/.claude/extracted/<project-dir>/<session-id>.json` and contain:

```json
{
  "session_id": "uuid",
  "project": "-Users-name-myapp",
  "cwd": "/Users/name/myapp",
  "start_ts": "...",
  "end_ts": "...",
  "n_turns": 18,
  "n_user_words": 620,
  "turns": [
    {"role": "user",      "text": "..."},
    {"role": "assistant", "text": "..."}
  ]
}
```

**When Step 3 reads conversations, always prefer the extracted file over the raw JSONL.** (See Step 3.)

If `extract-jsonl.py` was not run first, fall back to raw JSONL — but note the coverage will be
shallower because each raw file costs far more tokens to read.

### Conversation Sampling Heuristic

A history path can hold hundreds of conversation JSONLs — do not try to read them all. Per project:

- **If the project already has memory files** (`memory/*.md`), ingest those first (they are
  pre-distilled signal), then **also process conversations not yet in the manifest** — new
  conversations should still be captured even for memory-rich projects.
- **If the project has no memory files**, read only the **3 most recent** conversations (by mtime)
  to characterize it. Prefer pre-extracted files (see above) — they are cheap enough that you can
  read 5–10 in the same token budget as 1 raw JSONL.
- Always report what you sampled vs skipped (e.g. "agenttower: 7 memory files + 4 new conversations
  ingested, 14 unchanged conversations skipped"), so the coverage gap is visible rather than silent.

### Full Mode

Process everything regardless of manifest. Use after a `wiki-rebuild` or if the user explicitly asks.

## Claude Code Data Layout

Claude Code stores data in two locations. Scan **both**.
