recap

recap is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from harshanandak/forge. It costs 58 tokens per session (411 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that creates a short, bounded summary of one issue's history, status, dependencies, and comments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Resuming work on an issue, checking its latest state before commenting or closing it, and finding remaining tasks.
Why use it?
It helps an agent recover the current context after a break or session reset without rereading the entire issue.

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 5d 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

forge recap

Purpose

Reconstruct context on one issue quickly. forge recap <issue> distills the issue's description, status, dependency links, and comment trail into a bounded summary, so you can resume work without manually scrolling its full history.

When to Use

  • At the start of a session that resumes a previously claimed issue.
  • After context compaction, to reload what an issue is about and where it stands.
  • Before commenting or closing, to confirm the latest state.

Command

forge recap <issue>         # bounded summary of one issue

Instructions

  1. Run forge recap <issue> with the id you are resuming.
  2. Read the summarized status, decisions, and open threads.
  3. Treat the recap as the authoritative current state of the issue.
  4. Continue with comment or close.

Example

$ forge recap forge-142
forge-142  Wire kernel selector into dispatch  [in_progress]
- Selector wired in bin/forge.js (commit 467b868).
- Multi-id close acceptance test added and green (commit c3bcb36).
- Remaining: confirm release readiness gate clears.

Success Criteria

  • Current issue state is understood from the recap alone.
  • No need to manually re-read the full issue history.
  • show: full raw detail when the bounded recap is not enough.
  • comment: record the next progress note after resuming.
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.
