Phistory

中文

Phistory tracks how system prompts change across popular coding-agent CLIs like Claude Code, Codex, DeepSeek Harness, Antigravity, Grok Build, MiniMax Code, Kimi Code, MiMo Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, Kimi CLI, opencode, Pi, and Oh My Pi.

Open the web viewer to compare prompt snapshots across versions and see how agent design changes through prompts, tools, policies, and runtime instructions.

!Phistory prompt diff viewer

Why Use It

• Follow how Anthropic, OpenAI, and other agent builders iterate on system prompts over time.
• See when new tools, permission checks, model defaults, and user-confirmation rules are added.
• Compare how different CLIs structure agent behavior, tool use, and developer-facing constraints.
• Cite stable prompt snapshots in posts, research notes, audits, or debugging reports.

How It Works

For each supported release, Phistory installs the exact CLI package and runs each configured snapshot through claude-tap, captures the prompt-bearing HTTP request without calling the real model provider, and stores the result under captures///variants// with prompt.md, trace.jsonl, and meta.json. Capture configurations use a default snapshot as their baseline; selected models or modes are stored as additional variants.

For recent Claude Code releases, Phistory also extracts static prompt-like strings from the installed package and stores them under captures///static/. The candidate archive preserves extracted text after resource filtering, so filters and matching rules can be reapplied without reinstalling historical packages. See Static extraction and cleanup.

GitHub Actions checks automatically tracked CLI releases every hour and commits new snapshots when they appear.

The viewer supports Chinese translations for runtime prompt diffs and readable trace fields. Unchanged paragraphs reuse shared translations across versions; original evidence is preserved. See translation setup and storage and model evaluation.

Local Development

Use the hosted viewer at phistory.cc. These commands are for local development, capture reproduction, historical backfills, and regenerating generated files.
