prompt-summary

prompt-summary is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from drn/dots. It costs 44 tokens per session (426 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for summarizing the user prompts in the current conversation as a numbered list.

In plain words
What is it for?
Listing the prompts that shaped a result and labeling each as investigation, implementation, or refinement.
Why use it?
It makes a long prompt history easier to review by separating user requests from system instructions and tool approvals.

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

prompt-summary 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Prompt Summary

Review the conversation history and produce a concise numbered list of the user prompts that drove this session.

Instructions

Step 1: Extract Prompts

Scan the full conversation history. Collect every user-submitted prompt in order. Exclude:

  • System prompts and injected context
  • Slash command invocations (e.g., /test, /pr) unless the user typed additional instructions with them
  • Tool approval responses (yes/no clicks)
  • Empty or whitespace-only messages

Step 2: Classify Each Prompt

Tag each prompt as one of:

  • investigation -- directed research, exploration, or analysis
  • implementation -- requested code changes, file creation, or builds
  • refinement -- adjusted output format, wording, scope, or style

Step 3: Format the Output

Produce a numbered list. Each entry has the prompt text (quoted or paraphrased to stay concise) followed by a brief annotation of what it accomplished.

Format:

1. "the prompt text" -- what it accomplished
2. "the prompt text" -- what it accomplished

Rules:

  • One line per prompt, no sub-bullets or headers
  • Paraphrase long prompts to keep each line scannable (aim for under 120 characters for the prompt portion)
  • Keep annotations to half a sentence

Step 4: Add a Summary Line

End with a single line summarizing prompt count by phase. Group adjacent prompts of the same type.

Example: "Three prompts for investigation, two for refinement."

Only count phases that actually appeared. Do not force all three categories.

Output

Print the numbered list and summary line directly -- no code fences, no headers, no preamble. The output should be immediately copy-pasteable into Slack or a document.

Changes

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.

prompt-summary is a skill published in the GitHub repository drn/dots (23 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 426 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 2026-08-30.
