## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-03 (score 58, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 23 to 27. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 7 days of observed history at the previous scan, 8 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

## MCP tools (4)

### `nelly_instructions` (~39 tokens)

Check Nelly's status — platform, sessions directory, and whether session data exists. Useful for diagnostics. Instructions are already loaded via MCP init.

### `nelly_search` (~118 tokens)

Search past Claude Code conversations. Nelly searches through all session transcripts for matching keywords and returns sessions with snippets and resume commands. Use multiple searches with different terms for best results (spiral search pattern).

Input parameters:

- `days_back` (integer): Only search sessions from the last N days
- `max_results` (integer): Maximum number of sessions to return (default: 10)
- `project` (string): Filter to a specific project directory (partial match)
- `query` (string, required): Search query — keywords or phrases to find in past conversations

### `nelly_context` (~88 tokens)

Get expanded context from a specific session. Use this after nelly_search when the user wants to see more detail from a particular session before resuming it.

Input parameters:

- `context_lines` (integer): Number of surrounding lines to include (default: 5)
- `query` (string, required): The search term to find context around
- `session_id` (string, required): The session ID to get context from

### `nelly_recent` (~64 tokens)

List the most recent Claude Code sessions. Useful when the user doesn't remember specific keywords but knows it was recent.

Input parameters:

- `count` (integer): Number of recent sessions to show (default: 10)
- `project` (string): Filter to a specific project (partial match)
