recap

A project-history command that summarizes what changed since a specified date. It checks completed and active plans, Git commits, and changes in project state files.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating progress updates, reviewing decisions, tracking completed work, and seeing how the backlog and project status moved during a chosen period.
Why use it?
It saves developers from manually searching several project records to catch up on recent work.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

recap 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 2d 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 — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Summarize what happened in this project since the date specified: $ARGUMENTS

If no date is provided, ask the user for one.

Instructions

1. Parse the Date

Convert $ARGUMENTS to an absolute date (YYYY-MM-DD). Handle natural language like "last week", "March 1", "two weeks ago", "Monday". If the input is ambiguous or missing, ask the user.

Store the resolved date as $SINCE.

2. Gather Evidence

Collect changes from these sources. Read them in parallel where possible. Skip sources that don't exist.

a. Completed Plans

Read plans/completed/INDEX.md. Identify plans with date prefixes >= $SINCE. Read each matching plan file — focus on the Objective, Outcome, Key Decisions, and Artifacts sections.

b. Active Plans

Read plans/INDEX.md. Note any plans that were created after $SINCE (check their date prefix or file modification context). These represent work that started but hasn't finished yet.

c. Git History

Run git log --oneline --after=$SINCE to see commits in the date range. This captures changes that might not have corresponding plans (quick fixes, direct updates, autonomous work).

d. State File Changes

Grep all files under state/ for _Last updated: lines. Flag any with dates >= $SINCE — these represent reality that changed during the period.

e. New Artifacts

Scan artifacts/ (and subfolders) for files with date prefixes >= $SINCE. These are deliverables produced during the period.

f. MEMORY.md Changes

Check git log for commits that touched MEMORY.md since $SINCE. If any exist, note what Key Learnings or context was added.

g. Backlog Movement

Compare the current backlog state against git history to identify items that were added or removed since $SINCE. Use git log --oneline --after=$SINCE -- backlog/ to approximate this.

3. Assess Volume and Set Granularity

Count the total number of changes (completed plans + state updates + artifacts + significant commits). The output should scale with what actually happened — never pad quiet periods with filler. A busy period needs compression; a quiet period just needs less output.

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.

recap is a command published in the GitHub repository OdinMB/ops-workflow (7 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 105 tokens to every session and 1,309 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
