History leakage: a product explaining its own edit history

AI summary

A user developed a skill called /dehistorize to prevent "history leakage," where AI models or agents overshare their edit history or deleted content. This issue is compared to humans anchoring to past information, which can hinder fresh decision-making. The /dehistorize skill aims to remove artifacts like ScoringV2 and legacy_phase to ensure UIs support future decisions rather than reporting past agent work.

I got so annoyed by edit history leaking into everything from models desperately trying to prove themselves or oversharing what has been deleted, I had an agent come up with a name for it so I could create a skill to prevent it: /dehistorize. It's interesting because humans can do a similar thing when they anchor to a number or let a change/delta influence decision making instead of looking at it with a fresh perspective. In any case all those ScoringV2 and legacy_phase artifacts are now gone with a single word. And your UI can support the next decision instead of reporting the agents work.
