/recap

The user wants a recap. Time window args: $ARGUMENTS

Quick start

memory_sessions { "limit": 30 }

Then per surviving session: memory_recall { "query": "<top concepts>", "limit": 3 }.

Expected output:

2026-06-07
  7f3a9c2 · "Auth refresh rework" · 14 obs · completed
    - [8] Rotate refresh tokens on every use
3 sessions across 2 days, 41 observations.

Why

Only summarize sessions and observations the tools returned. An empty window is a real answer, not a prompt to invent activity.

Workflow

1. Parse $ARGUMENTS: today = current local date; this week = last 7 days; last <n> or bare numeric = most recent N; empty = last 10.
2. Call memory_sessions, filter to the current project (match cwd against the working directory), apply the window, sort by startedAt descending.
3. Group survivors by local calendar date (YYYY-MM-DD).
4. Per session list id (first 8), title or first prompt, observation count, status. Indent 2-3 highlights (importance >= 7) from memory_recall.
5. End with "N sessions across M days, K observations."

Anti-patterns

WRONG: window is empty, so you summarize "a productive week of auth work" from memory of the conversation.

RIGHT: "No sessions in the last 7 days for this project."

Checklist

• Window parsed correctly from the argument.
• Sessions filtered to the current project's cwd.
• Highlights come from memory_recall, not paraphrase.
• Totals line reflects the actual counts shown.
