trace-history — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited trace-history (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Read production/traces/decision_ledger.jsonl and display a filtered, human-readable timeline of agent decisions.
The rendering and filtering logic is implemented in scripts/trace-history.sh. This skill delegates to that script — do NOT re-implement parsing here.
Invoke exactly once, passing $ARGUMENTS through unchanged:

Pretty (default): timeline with risk badges (🔴🟡🟢) and outcome emojis (✅❌⛔⏭️), grouped with separators and totals. Failed/blocked entries trigger a /resume-from hint automatically.
JSON: raw matching entries as a JSON array — use when piping to another tool.
The script emits 📭 messages for an empty ledger or zero-match filter. Return those messages as-is; do not fabricate data.
Agents append one JSON line per significant decision to production/traces/decision_ledger.jsonl.
