recap

A concise summary of what a pull request or GitHub issue changes or proposes, focused on its user-facing or functional purpose. It can present the result as nested bullets or a table, with optional technical detail.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explain one PR or issue to a technical collaborator, including what changed, what it covers, and relevant implementation notes.
Why use it?
It makes the feature story easier to understand without forcing readers through an implementation walkthrough.

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 — 256 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Produce a functional-improvement summary of a PR or issue: what the work did (a merged/open PR) or hopes to do (an open issue), written for a technical collaborator who wants the feature perspective — not the implementation walkthrough.

/recap is the single-target companion to /standup. /standup rolls up all recent activity across a time window for a daily report; /recap zooms in on one PR or issue and renders its functional story as nested bullets (or a table). Reach for /standup for "what happened lately"; reach for /recap for "explain this one PR/issue to my collaborator."

Output modes

Mode Flag Effect
Nested bullets (default) Top-level bullet = functional change; sub-bullets = scope/notes
Table --table Markdown table with Change | Notes columns
Full --full Relax the word budget; keep nested-bullet (or table) structure
Technical --technical Add a second tier of detail per bullet (mechanism, files, key endpoints) without removing the conversational top-level bullet

Flags compose: --table --technical adds a third "Technical detail" column; --full --technical keeps both expansions.

Step 1: Parse arguments and flags

Parse $ARGUMENTS. Extract flags first, then interpret whatever remains as the target identifier.

  • Flags (any order, anywhere in $ARGUMENTS): --table, --full, --technical. Set a boolean for each; strip them from the argument string.
  • Target identifier — take the first non-flag token only (see batch handling below). It is one of:
    • URL (https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/pull/123 or .../issues/123) → extract both the <owner>/<repo> and the trailing number; the path segment (/pull/ vs /issues/) fixes the type. The owner/repo from the URL must qualify every later gh call (--repo <owner>/<repo>) — otherwise a URL for another repo would silently recap whatever item shares that number in the current repo.
    • #N or bare number (452, #457) → strip any leading #; target the current repo; type is not yet known (resolve in Step 2).
    • Empty → auto-detect (see below).

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 skill published in the GitHub repository auerbachb/claude-code-config (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 4,141 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
