About

conversation-archaeologist is an AI context-mining skill that turns years of Claude chat history into a structured profile developers can reuse across workflows. The skill instructs an agent to use conversation_search and recent_chats tools to scan past sessions and distill writing style, business context, recurring goals, and preference patterns into a living User Manual About You. Developers reach for conversation-archaeologist when generic agent prompts keep missing personal tone, domain vocabulary, or project history that already exists in prior conversations. The extracted profile becomes shared context that improves downstream skills, planning, and code assistance without re-explaining background every session.
