What problem does it solve?

DevLearn session recaps prevent “vibe blur” by turning long coding sessions into a short, actionable summary that refreshes memory without re-teaching.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session recap (60 seconds): Produces a fast summary covering outcomes, key terms, files touched, decisions, and a concrete next step.
  • Persona tuning (viber vs seasoned): Adjusts emphasis toward either feel-first learning anchors or decision verification and risk-awareness.
  • Progress consolidation: Updates .devlearn/progress.md with a refreshed “Last session” block when progress tracking is enabled.
  • Artifact + conversation fallback: Recaps from DEVLEARN_GLOSSARY.md, progress/decisions files, and recent lesson blocks, and gracefully falls back to conversation-only when artifacts are missing.

Quick Start

Ask your agent to run devlearn-recap when you want to review what you learned, such as at the end of a long session or before starting a new day.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a quick recap of what I learned after a long coding session?

A session recap condenses long coding work into a 60-second summary covering outcomes, key terms, files touched, decisions, and a concrete next step, preventing memory loss without re-teaching.

What is a session recap and how does it help with developer onboarding?

A session recap is a short summary of recent lesson blocks and decisions that serves as a memory anchor, helping new developers catch up on previous work without reviewing the entire conversation history.

How do I update my progress tracking file automatically when reviewing a session?

You can update progress tracking automatically by enabling the progress flag during recap generation, which refreshes the Last session block in your progress file with the latest outcomes and decisions.

Can I generate a learning summary if my progress and glossary files are missing?

Yes, you can generate a learning summary if files are missing because the recap mechanism gracefully falls back to using recent conversation context only when artifacts like the glossary or progress files are unavailable.

Does the recap output adjust for different developer experience levels?

Yes, the recap adjusts for experience levels through persona tuning, shifting emphasis toward feel-first learning anchors for beginners or decision verification and risk-awareness for seasoned developers.

What are the limitations of using a 60-second session recap for progress tracking?

A limitation of the 60-second session recap is its depth-based line limit, which restricts summary detail, meaning it functions as a memory anchor rather than a comprehensive decision log replacement.
