SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you return to a multi-agent coordination session, it is hard to reconstruct what already happened without polling workers or guessing at live state. This Skill produces a recap built strictly from saved files, so every claim is grounded in recorded history rather than speculation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - History-only recap: Reads /workspace/sum/inbox.md, task briefs, questions, reports, and verification files to summarize what already occurred. - No live state invention: Explicitly refuses to poll workers or GitHub, and reports missing files instead of guessing. - No accidental work dispatch: A recap never counts as approval to start new work. - Use Case: After stepping away from a coordinator session, ask for a recap to see which questions were answered, which tasks reported results, and what verification was recorded. ## Quick Start Ask the coordinator to recap this session from the saved history files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a recap of what happened in my agent session?

Ask the coordinator for a session recap. The recap skill reads the saved inbox, task briefs, questions, reports, and verification files under /workspace/sum/ and summarizes only what those files record.

Does the session recap show live worker status?

No, the recap is history-only. It never polls workers or GitHub and does not invent live fleet state; every claim must point at a saved file on disk.

What happens if a task file is missing during a recap?

The recap states that the file is missing instead of guessing. It will not speculate about what a worker is currently doing when no saved record exists.

Can a recap trigger new work or task dispatch?

No. A recap is never treated as approval to start work. New work begins only from an explicit user instruction or an already-approved task.

What files does the session recap read?

It reads inbox.md plus open task briefs, question files, reports, and verification files saved under /workspace/sum/. It uses only these saved records as sources.
