session-recap

session-recap is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sonichi/sutando. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,486 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for reconstructing a past AI-agent session by reading its complete raw transcript. It can provide anything from a high-level summary to exact quotes from the session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list past sessions, inspect a selected transcript, recover decisions or discussion details, and verify exact wording from an earlier session.
Why use it?
It preserves details that may be missing or selectively summarized in handoff notes, including exactly what the project owner said.

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-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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/extract.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Recap

Reconstruct what happened in a past core session — from a high-level summary down to verbatim owner quotes — by reading the raw session transcripts (complete, crash-proof, unbiased), not the curated relay/handoff notes.

Usage: /session-recap [last | <session-uuid-prefix> | list] [detail hint]

Why transcripts, not notes (owner design, 2026-07-13)

  1. Relay/handoff notes are short and reflect my curation — bias by construction.
  2. Notes need a graceful exit; the transcript JSONL is appended by the harness live, so accidental restarts lose nothing.
  3. Only the transcript has verbatim detail ("what did the owner say exactly").

Notes remain useful as a fast index into a long session — nothing more.

How to run it

  1. Bound the session. python3 skills/session-recap/scripts/extract.py list prints recent sessions (newest first: file uuid, start/end ISO, message counts, first user line). Cross-check with <workspace>/state/session-starts.log (one JSONL line per core boot; consecutive entries bound a session). "last" = the second-newest transcript (newest = the running session).
  2. Extract. python3 skills/session-recap/scripts/extract.py dump --session last --filter dialog --max-chars 0 → chronological [ts] USER:/ASSISTANT: stream. --filter user for owner messages only (verbatim-quote lookups: just grep this). --filter all adds tool-call names + system lines when the recap needs to cover actions, not just conversation. --max-chars 0 = no cap.
  3. Summarize with a CHEAP model (owner requirement — transcripts run to tens of MB; never burn core-model quota on this). Spawn an Agent-tool subagent with model: haiku, hand it the dump (or the dump file path if huge — have it Read in slices), and ask for: timeline, tasks processed + outcomes, PRs/commits, decisions, errors + fixes, artifacts (files/notes/memories written — the dump's Write(path)/Edit(path) tool lines carry the paths; owner requirement 2026-07-13), loose ends. Match the detail level the owner asked for. Drop routine operational noise (owner rule 2026-07-13): battery-escalation ladders, idle proactive-loop passes, quota checks, watcher restarts, memory syncs, health-check green runs — none of it belongs in a recap unless it materially changed the session's course (e.g. quota exhaustion forced a pivot, a crash lost work).
  4. Deliver to the asking channel. For a verbatim-quote request, skip the subagent entirely — grep the --filter user dump and quote directly.

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.

session-recap is a skill published in the GitHub repository sonichi/sutando (399 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,486 tokens. 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.
