Changelog

[Unreleased]

[0.10.2] - 2025-11-27

Breaking Changes

• Timestamps now use Slack format (seconds.microseconds) and messages are sorted by ts field
  • Migration required: Run npx tsx scripts/migrate-timestamps.ts ./data to fix existing logs
  • Without migration, message context will be incorrectly ordered

Added

• Channel and user ID mappings in system prompt
  • Fetches all channels bot is member of and all workspace users at startup
  • Mom can now reference channels by name and mention users properly
• Skills documentation in system prompt
  • Explains custom CLI tools pattern with SKILL.md files
  • Encourages mom to create reusable tools for recurring tasks
• Debug output: writes last_prompt.txt to channel directory with full context
• Bash working directory info in system prompt (/ for Docker, cwd for host)
• Token-efficient log queries that filter out tool calls/results for summaries

Changed

• Turn-based message context instead of raw line count (#68)
  • Groups consecutive bot messages (tool calls/results) as single turn
  • "50 turns" now means ~50 conversation exchanges, not 50 log lines
  • Prevents tool-heavy runs from pushing out conversation context
• Messages sorted by Slack timestamp before building context
  • Fixes out-of-order issues from async attachment downloads
  • Added monotonic counter for sub-millisecond ordering
• Condensed system prompt from ~5k to ~2.7k chars
  • More concise workspace layout (tree format)
  • Clearer log query examples (conversation-only vs full details)
  • Removed redundant guidelines section
• User prompt simplified: removed duplicate "Current message" (already in history)
• Tool status labels (_→ label_) no longer logged to jsonl
• Thread messages and thinking no longer double-logged

Fixed

• Duplicate message logging: removed redundant log from app_mention handler
• Username obfuscation in thread messages to prevent unwanted pings
  • Handles @username, bare username, and <@USERID> formats
  • Escapes special regex characters in usernames

[0.10.1] - 2025-11-27

Changed

• Reduced tool verbosity in main Slack messages (#65)
  • During execution: show tool labels (with → prefix), thinking, and text
  • After completion: replace main message with only final assistant response
  • Full audit trail preserved in thread (tool details, thinking, text)
  • Added promise queue to ensure message updates execute in correct order

[0.10.0] - 2025-11-27

Added

• Working memory system with MEMORY.md files
  • Global workspace memory (workspace/MEMORY.md) shared across all channels
  • Channel-specific memory (workspace/<channel>/MEMORY.md) for per-channel context
  • Automatic memory loading into system prompt on each request
  • Mom can update memory files to remember project details, preferences, and context
• ISO 8601 date field in log.jsonl for easy date-based grepping
  • Format: "date":"2025-11-26T10:44:00.123Z"
  • Enables queries like: grep '"date":"2025-11-26' log.jsonl
• Centralized logging system (src/log.ts)
  • Structured, colored console output (green for user messages, yellow for mom activity, dim for details)
  • Consistent format: [HH:MM:SS] [context] message
  • Type-safe logging functions for all event types
• Usage tracking and cost reporting
  • Tracks tokens (input, output, cache read, cache write) and costs per run
  • Displays summary at end of each agent run in console and Slack thread
  • Example: 💰 Usage: 12,543 in + 847 out (5,234 cache read, 127 cache write) = $0.0234
• Working indicator in Slack messages
  • Channel messages show "..." while mom is processing
  • Automatically removed when work completes
• Improved stop command behavior
  • Separate "Stopping..." message that updates to "Stopped" when abort completes
  • Original working message continues to show tool results (including abort errors)
  • Clean separation between status and results

Changed

• Enhanced system prompt with clearer directory structure and path examples
• Improved memory file path documentation to prevent confusion
• Message history format now includes ISO 8601 date for better searchability
• System prompt now includes log.jsonl format documentation with grep examples
• System prompt now includes current date and time for date-aware operations
• Added efficient log query patterns using jq to prevent context overflow
• System prompt emphasizes limiting NUMBER of messages (10-50), not truncating message text
• Log queries now show full message text and attachments for better context
• Fixed jq patterns to handle null/empty attachments with (.attachments // [])
• Recent messages in system prompt now formatted as TSV (43% token savings vs raw JSONL)
• Enhanced security documentation with prompt injection risk warnings and mitigations
• Moved recent messages from system prompt to user message for better prompt caching
  • System prompt is now mostly static (only changes when memory files change)
  • Enables Anthropic's prompt caching to work effectively
  • Significantly reduces costs on subsequent requests
• Switched from Claude Opus 4.5 to Claude Sonnet 4.5 (~40% cost reduction)
• Tool result display now extracts actual text instead of showing JSON wrapper
• Slack thread messages now show cleaner tool call formatting with duration and label
• All console logging centralized and removed from scattered locations
• Agent run now returns { stopReason } instead of throwing exceptions
  • Clean handling of "aborted", "error", "stop", "length", "toolUse" cases
  • No more error-based control flow

Fixed

• jq query patterns now properly handle messages without attachments (no more errors on empty arrays)

[0.9.4] - 2025-11-26

Added

• Initial release of Mom Slack bot
• Slack integration with @mentions and DMs
• Docker sandbox mode for isolated execution
• Bash tool with full shell access
• Read, write, edit file tools
• Attach tool for sharing files in Slack
• Thread-based tool details (clean main messages, verbose details in threads)
• Single accumulated message per agent run
• Stop command (@mom stop) to abort running tasks
• Persistent workspace per channel with scratchpad directory
• Streaming console output for monitoring
