SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Long agent sessions drift: decisions get made implicitly, context gets lost, and the user loses track of where the work stands. This Skill produces a scannable status report so the user can validate or correct the current state in one pass. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Status Report: Summarizes key findings, explicit versus implicit decisions, open questions, and next steps in bullet points. - Drift Detection: Surfaces assumptions and architectural calls made without user confirmation, which is where sessions typically go off track. - Optional Focus Area: Accepts an argument to narrow the recap to a specific topic instead of the whole session. - Use Case: Midway through a multi-hour debugging or implementation session, ask for a recap to re-align on what was decided, what is still open, and what happens next before continuing. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to recap where the work stands, optionally naming a focus area such as the current ticket or feature.

Frequently Asked Questions about recap

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a status report on an ongoing agent session?▼

Invoke the recap skill, optionally with a focus area as an argument. It returns a bullet-point report covering key findings, explicit and implicit decisions, open questions, and proposed next steps you can approve or redirect.

How to catch wrong assumptions an AI agent made mid-session?▼

Ask for a recap and review the implicit decisions section first. The report separates decisions the user confirmed from assumptions the agent made on its own, which is where drift typically starts.

Can I recap only part of a session instead of everything?▼

Yes, pass a focus area as the argument when invoking the skill. Without an argument it covers the whole session; with one it narrows the report to that topic.

What format does the recap output use?▼

The report uses short bullet points written in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, with one idea per sentence and plain vocabulary. It references the relevant ticket or spec when the work has one.

When should I not use a session recap?▼

Skip it for short, single-step tasks where no decisions have accumulated. The recap adds value when there are implicit assumptions, open questions, or multi-step work that needs validation before proceeding.
