Empirical Docs / Plugins

Work History plugin.

Optional guidance for recording concise completed-work summaries that future agents can recover.

What it changes

Work History is for a concise handoff after meaningful completed work: what changed, why, what was verified, and what remains. It is useful when another agent may resume the project later; it is not a transcript archive or a task manager.

Install

Select work history during empirical install, or install it explicitly without rerunning the full setup.

empirical plugin install all --work-history

Real-life example and limits

After changing the docs deployment flow, a useful entry says: Added installer tabs; typecheck and build pass; FTP upload still requires deployment credentials. Keep one summary per meaningful change, omit secrets and raw logs, and do not use this plugin as an issue tracker.

Optional: Install only if durable completed-work handoffs are valuable in your workflow.
