Overview

MessageHistory wraps the conversation message list and exposes business-meaningful operations instead of raw array manipulation.

Internal fields (task_id, created_at, system_injected, etc.) are kept in the internal store but stripped when calling #to_api.

INTERNAL_FIELDS =

Fields that are internal to the agent and must not be sent to the API.

#initialize(messages = []) ⇒ MessageHistory

Returns a new instance of MessageHistory.

def initialize(messages = [])
  @messages = messages.dup
end

Instance Method Details

#append(message) ⇒ Object

Append a single message hash to the history.

When appending a user message, automatically drop any trailing assistant message that has unanswered tool_calls (no tool_result follows it). This prevents API error 2013 (“tool call result does not follow tool call”) when a previous task ended before observe() could append tool results (e.g. subagent crash, interrupt, or error).

def append(message)

    drop_dangling_tool_calls!
  end
  @messages << message
  self
end

#delete_where(&block) ⇒ Object

Remove all messages matching the block in-place (e.g. cleanup_memory_messages uses reject! { m }).

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'lib/clacky/message_history.rb', line 169

def empty?
  @messages.empty?
end

#estimate_tokens ⇒ Object

Estimate total token count for all messages. Uses the ~4 chars/token heuristic (works well for English/code). Handles string content, array content blocks, and tool_calls.



176
177
178
 
# File 'lib/clacky/message_history.rb', line 176

def estimate_tokens
  @messages.sum { |m| estimate_message_tokens(m) }
end

#for_task(task_id) ⇒ Object

Return all messages where task_id <= given id (Time Machine support).



151
152
153
 
# File 'lib/clacky/message_history.rb', line 151

def for_task(task_id)
  @messages.select { |m| !m[:task_id] || m[:task_id] <= task_id }
end

#last_injected_chunk_count ⇒ Object

Return the chunk_count from the most recently injected chunk index message. Used by inject_chunk_index_if_needed to avoid re-injecting when nothing changed.

131
132
 
# File 'lib/clacky/message_history.rb', line 129

def last_injected_chunk_count
  msg = @messages.reverse.find { |m| m[:chunk_index] }
  msg&.dig(:chunk_count) || 0
end

#last_real_user_index ⇒ Object

Return the index of the last real (non-system-injected) user message. Used by restore_session to trim back to a clean state on error.



141
142
143
 
# File 'lib/clacky/message_history.rb', line 141

def last_real_user_index
  @messages.rindex { |m| m[:role] == "user" && !m[:system_injected] }
end

#last_session_context_date ⇒ Object

Return the session_date value from the most recent session_context message. Used by inject_session_context_if_needed to avoid re-injecting on the same date.



122
123
124
125
 
# File 'lib/clacky/message_history.rb', line 122

def last_session_context_date
  msg = @messages.reverse.find { |m| m[:session_context] }
  msg&.dig(:session_date)
end

#mutate_last_matching(predicate, &block) ⇒ Object

Mutate the last message matching the predicate lambda in-place. Used by execute_skill_with_subagent to update instruction messages.

def mutate_last_matching(predicate, &block)
  msg = @messages.reverse.find { |m| predicate.call(m) }
  block.call(msg) if msg
  self
end

#pending_tool_calls? ⇒ Boolean

True when the last assistant message has tool_calls but no tool_result has been appended yet (would cause a 400 from the API).

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

  # Check that there is no tool result message after this assistant message
  last_assistant_idx = @messages.rindex { |m| m == last }
  @messages[(last_assistant_idx + 1)..].none? { |m| m[:role] == "tool" || m[:tool_results] }
end

  @messages.select { |m| m[:role] == "user" && !m[:system_injected] }
end

#recent_truncation_count(n) ⇒ Object

Count how many of the last N messages have :truncated set. Used by think() to guard against infinite truncation retry loops.

def recent_truncation_count(n)

  else
    @messages.unshift(msg)
  end
  self
end

#rollback_before(message) ⇒ Object

Roll back the history to just before the given message object. Removes the message and anything appended after it. Used to undo a failed speculative append (e.g. compression message that errored).
