SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams using the quorum pipeline accumulate one directory per planned change in docs/work/, but there is no built-in way to see the full record of what the repository has been asked to do, who planned it, when, and how far each change got. This Skill reads that record back as a readable, chronological listing. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Chronological change listing: Runs history.py to print one section per work item, oldest first, with the original prompt quoted verbatim, the planner, the date, and the outcome. - Filtering and formatting options: Supports --author, --limit, --json, and a fixed-width table mode for narrow terminals, with --markdown as the default for readable prose output. - Honest provenance reporting: Distinguishes commit author from requester, flags uncommitted plans, and states explicitly what the record cannot tell you, such as work on unmerged branches. - Use Case: A developer returning to a repository after a month asks what changes have been planned and shipped; the Skill lists every work item with its prompt and verdict, then points to the relevant plan.md and verdict.md files for detail. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to show the history of everything this repository has been asked to build through the quorum pipeline.

FAQPage Schema
How do I see what changes a repository has planned through quorum?▼

Run the history skill, which executes history.py --markdown to list every work item in docs/work/ oldest first. Each section includes the original prompt, planner, date, and outcome, with follow-up pointers to plan.md and verdict.md.

How do I filter quorum history by author or date?▼

Use history.py --author <name> to show only items planned by a matching author or email, and --limit N to show only the most recent items. The --json flag supports arbitrary computation over the full record.

Does the history listing show who requested each change?▼

No. The Prompt field records what was asked, never who asked it, and the commit author is only a proxy since pipeline agents commit under the repository owner's git config. Agent involvement appears separately via Co-Authored-By trailers.

Why is a planned change missing from the history output?▼

The listing reads docs/work/ from the current branch only, so work on unmerged branches is absent. Changes merged with a rebase and no pr entry in state.json also leave no trace, and uncommitted plans appear only as marked placeholders.

What are the limitations of the quorum history record?▼

It cannot identify requesters, recover prompts from plans made before recording began, or report on uncommitted work beyond listing it. Durations include human wait time, and absence of an item is not proof the work does not exist elsewhere.
