SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? End-of-session summaries and technical explanations are often walls of jargon that a reader who was not present cannot parse. This Skill produces recaps and explanations in plain words, naming each concrete piece of work and clearly separating what is new from what already existed. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Recap mode: Summarizes what was wanted, the pieces built (marked new, changed, or already there), what is different now, what is still open, and the next action. - Explain mode: Explains an existing thing by naming its parts, how they fit together, where people get tripped up, and where to look first. - Three output shapes: Prose, layered bullets, or full sections, chosen automatically based on session length and complexity. - Use Case: After a long multi-part coding session, ask for a handoff and receive a short plain-English recap a teammate or your future self can understand on one read. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to wrap up the session and explain what was built in plain words for someone who was not here.

Frequently Asked Questions about building-blocks

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a plain-English summary of a coding session?▼

Ask for a handoff, recap, or wrap up at the end of the session. The skill writes what you wanted, the pieces that now exist marked new or changed, what is still open, and your next action, all in plain words.

How do I explain what changed in a project to someone new?▼

Request an explanation in plain words and the skill names each building block, glosses it in half a sentence, and marks whether it is new, changed, or was already there. This prevents readers from confusing old machinery with new work.

What output formats does the recap support?▼

Three shapes: prose for short sessions, a bold headline with layered bullets for normal sessions, and full headed sections for long or multi-part work. The skill picks one automatically and offers the other two afterward.

When should I not use a session recap?▼

Skip it for one-line factual answers that are already plain. The skill is meant for handoffs, multi-part sessions, and moments when the reader would otherwise be out of the loop.

Does the recap include the process and steps tried during the session?▼

No. The skill explicitly excludes process narration such as which agent ran or what was tried first. It reports only what exists now, what it does, and what remains open.
