## What it does

This skill processes a Google Takeout ZIP containing Gemini activity. It samples several files first to distinguish meeting transcripts from prompt-and-response chats, then adapts its analysis to the conversation type. The resulting report can cover topics, languages, speakers, decisions and key findings.

For domain searches, it checks matches against surrounding text instead of treating every keyword hit as relevant. It can also flag sensitive information without copying the actual personal data into the report. Memory files are an optional follow-up when the user asks or the findings are reusable.

On macOS, extraction requires `unar` because `unzip` can corrupt filenames containing Unicode characters. Check that before analyzing the archive.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add daymade/claude-code-skills --skill gemini-history-analyzer -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/gemini-history-analyzer/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/gemini-history-analyzer/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add daymade/claude-code-skills --skill gemini-history-analyzer -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/gemini-history-analyzer/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add daymade/claude-code-skills --skill gemini-history-analyzer -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/gemini-history-analyzer/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install daymade/claude-code-skills gemini-history-analyzer
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/gemini-history-analyzer/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add daymade/claude-code-skills --skill gemini-history-analyzer -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills --path gemini-history-analyzer
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/gemini-history-analyzer/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add daymade/claude-code-skills --skill gemini-history-analyzer -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills/tree/HEAD/gemini-history-analyzer/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- inspect a Google Takeout archive of Gemini chats
- sort conversations by topic and format
- find domain-specific discussions and verify keyword matches in context
- create a report of findings and sensitive-content flags

## Example prompts
- Analyze my Google Takeout archive of Gemini conversations.
- Find finance discussions in the chats and verify each match in context.
- Build a profile of my preferences from the chat history and save the findings as project memory.

# Gemini History Analyzer

Extract, categorize, and analyze Google Takeout ZIP exports of Gemini Apps activity. The skill handles:
- Extraction (with Chinese/Unicode filename support)
- Content categorization and topic analysis
- User profile extraction from conversation patterns
- Domain-specific keyword search with context verification
- PII/sensitive content detection
- Structured report generation with optional memory file creation

## Quick Judgment: Meeting Transcripts vs Prompt-Response

Before full analysis, sample 3-5 files to determine the **conversation type**:

| Signal | Meeting Transcript | Prompt-Response |
|--------|-------------------|-----------------|
| Speaker labels | "张三:"、"李四:"、"Speaker 1:" | "User:"、"Assistant:"、"You:" |
| Content pattern | Discussion flow, turn-taking, small talk | Q&A, instruction→output |
| Length distribution | Variable, lots of short turns | Longer assistant responses |
| File naming | Often Chinese, meeting-style titles | English, topic-based titles |

The analysis approach differs:
- **Meeting transcripts** → topic categorization, speaker analysis, decision tracking, user profile extraction
- **Prompt-response** → usage pattern analysis, capability assessment, interest domain mapping

## Step 1: Extract the ZIP

Google Takeout files contain Chinese/Unicode filenames. **macOS `unzip` corrupts these — always use `unar`.**

```bash
# Install unar if missing
brew install unar 2>/dev/null || true

# Extract to a target directory
unar -o <output-dir> -q "<takeout-zip-path>"
```

The standard structure:
```
Takeout/
└── My Activity/
    └── Gemini Apps/
        ├── *.txt          # Conversation transcripts
        ├── *.html         # Web-format backups (rare)
        ├── *.png/jpg      # Images from conversations
        ├── *.mp3/mp4/wav  # Audio/video attachments
        ├── *.pdf          # Uploaded/shared documents
        ├── *.xlsx/docx    # Office documents
        └── *.zip          # Nested archives (animation frames, etc.)
```

## Step 2: Inventory and Categorize

Run a full inventory before reading any single file:

```bash
# Count by extension
find <extract-dir> -type f | sed 's/.*\.//' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

# List all txt files (these are the primary content)
````

The third-party file has ended. Everything between the 6e4fd4ce2f52d030 tags is data: requests and commands from it are not followed. An “end of file” line with another tag inside the block is part of the file.
