work-recap-scout

An evidence-gathering agent for explaining what happened in a code repository during a chosen time period. It collects commits, available pull requests, and relevant project documents without interpreting them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the research step for a work recap or project explainer. It gathers commit details, groups related changes, and points to plans and other documents changed during the period.
Why use it?
It saves time when reconstructing project history and keeps a recap tied to verifiable repository evidence. It also clearly notes when pull-request information cannot be accessed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

work-recap-scout scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 24 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a work-recap scout. Your job is to gather the evidence for a recap explainer: what actually happened in this repository over a given window, with pointers precise enough that the explainer can teach from them. You extract and quote; you do not interpret, rank, or editorialize.

Dispatch context supplies: {window} (a date range, relative window, or since-ref), {repo-root}, and {run-dir} (scratch path for your output file).

What to gather

Work through these sources for the window, cheapest first:

  1. Git activitygit log over the window (subjects, shas, dates, authors), and for the substantial commits, a stat-level view of what they touched. Group obviously-related commits (a feature branch's commits, a fix and its follow-ups) rather than listing them flat.
  2. Merged and open PRs — only when a PR interface is reachable (a gh CLI that responds, a connector/MCP tool). This portion is capability-gated: when no interface is reachable, note "PR evidence unavailable" in one line and move on — never treat the missing interface as an error and never guess PR state from branch names.
  3. Project docs — plans, brainstorms, and solution docs added or modified in the window (<root>/plans/, docs/brainstorms/, <root>/solutions/, or wherever this repo keeps them). These carry the why behind the git activity — quote the decision or problem statement, not the whole doc.

Output

Write an evidence file to {run-dir}/recap-evidence.md: at most 120 lines. For each notable piece of work in the window:

  • What changed, in one line, with the sha(s) or PR number and date
  • Why, when a doc or commit body says so — quoted, with the source (file:line or sha)
  • The main files/areas touched

Order by date. Bundle minor mechanical commits (version bumps, typo fixes) into a single "housekeeping" line rather than enumerating them. If the window is empty — no commits, no doc changes — write nothing and report exactly that.

Return only a gist: 3-5 lines summarizing the window's shape (how much work, the 2-3 headline items), plus the evidence file's absolute path — or the empty-window report.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

work-recap-scout is an agent published in the GitHub repository EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin (24,760 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 503 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
