SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires vis-network, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of forgetting what you did in prior Claude Code sessions and failing to quickly pick the next highest-leverage task.

Core Features & Use Cases

Temporal recap: Scan Claude Code JSONL session files by date (e.g., yesterday, last week) to rapidly review what happened recently.
Topic recap: Search vault notes and sessions by exact keywords and semantic similarity to find decisions, context, and relevant threads.
Graph recap: Generate an interactive HTML visualization of sessions over a time range to see activity patterns at a glance.
Decision-grade synthesis: Always ends with One Thing, a concrete, actionable next step (named file/feature/command/decision rather than vague guidance).

Quick Start

Ask the AI to load context from last week by running /recap last week.

FAQPage Schema

How do I review previous Claude Code session history and find my next task?▼

Reviewing previous Claude Code session history involves parsing JSONL files by date to synthesize prior work and vault context. This process surfaces recent activity and always concludes with a concrete, actionable next step to drive immediate progress.

Can I search vault notes and session context using semantic search and exact keywords?▼

Searching vault notes and session context supports exact keyword matching and semantic search via QMD BM25 with query expansion. This retrieves topic-based investigations and relevant decision threads across stored Claude Code activity within a specified date range.

What's the best way to visualize Claude Code activity patterns over a time range?▼

Visualizing Claude Code activity patterns over a time range is achieved by generating an interactive HTML graph. This visual overview leverages vis-network to map session relationships, allowing users to rapidly identify activity clusters and temporal trends at a glance.

Does recap work with existing JSONL session files, or do I need a specific database setup?▼

Recap works directly with existing Claude Code JSONL session files and local vault notes, requiring no specific database setup. It parses these flat files by date to synthesize decision-ready outputs, provided the vis-network dependency is present for graph generation.

How does recap differ from standard knowledge management tools for retrieving session context?▼

Unlike standard knowledge management tools, recap specifically parses Claude Code JSONL sessions by date and applies QMD BM25 semantic search with query expansion. It synthesizes temporal and topic-based context into decision-grade outputs, always ending with one concrete next action.
