session-summaries

session-summaries is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kirodotdev/KiroCrew. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,339 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A chat panel that summarizes what a session was trying to do, what is true now, and what remains open. A session is one conversation or work period.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing past session goals, current progress, and unfinished tasks from the chat's right-side panel.
Why use it?
It makes it easier to return to older work without rereading the entire conversation.

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

session-summaries 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 11d 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.

Session summaries

The session summary panel lives in the chat right side panel. When enabled, it distills a session into the few things that make returning to it cheap: what the person was trying to do, what is actually true now, and what is still open. It is generated by a separate background pass after a turn completes — you do not write it, and reading this skill does not trigger it.

Use this skill to explain the panel, diagnose why it looks empty or wrong, and help the person get more out of it. It changes how you talk about the feature, never how the summary is produced.

Turning it on

It is off by default because summarizing spends tokens on a turn the person did not ask to pay for. The single opt-in is Settings → Chat → Sessions → Session summaries. Point them there rather than editing config by hand.

  • An unchanged session is served from cache for free — the cost is only on turns that actually change the session.
  • The cadence and caps (minimum user turns before the first summary, how often it rebuilds, how many intents it keeps) are power-user knobs in config.json under session_summary.*, not in the UI. Mention them only if asked.

What the panel is built from

The summary is organized by intent — a goal the person pursued, which can span many turns. A session that pivoted has several intents; a topic label is not an intent. Each intent carries:

  • status — about the work: active, completed, or abandoned.
  • verified — about the result, independent of status: was the outcome ever confirmed? Shipped-but-never-run, diagnosed-but-never-fixed, and merged-but-never- seen are all completed yet unverified. This is the panel's most useful signal; it is exactly the work a person forgets. It is three-valued: true confirmed, false shipped-but-unconfirmed, and null when confirmation does not apply — so an absent verification is not the same as a failed one. The panel never shows the two fields separately: it shows one chip, Done, Needs you (completed but false), Active or Dropped.
  • progress — a short runbook of what is true now and known to work, not a turn-by-turn history. Shorter is better here.
  • next steps — inferred open actions, each with why it matters and what to expect. An intent that needs nothing has none.
  • project notes — a handful of session-scoped operational facts (a required flag, a step that must follow a change, a name you were corrected on). Durable cross-session preferences belong in lessons, not here.
  • turn ranges — each intent shows which turns it spans, how many times the session returned to it, and the turn it pivoted from, so a session that ping-ponged between two goals reads as such.

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.
