A session summary and orientation command for an Oracle development workspace. It gathers recent notes, handoffs, Git changes, and the current focus so you can understand where work stands.

Use it for a full recap, a quick Git and focus check, a mid-session timeline, or a deeper review of handoffs and related work.

It reduces the time needed to regain context after starting a session, changing direction, or losing your place. A quick mode shows only the most important current state.

NVIDIA SkillSpector warn 7 Sept 2026

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

medium Agent Snooping · line 64
Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.

Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00096	$0.02939
Opus 5	$0.00048	$0.01470
Sonnet 5	$0.00019	$0.00588
Haiku 4.5	$0.00010	$0.00294

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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (recap-rich.ts, recap.ts, skills-staleness.ts), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 344 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/recap — Session Orientation & Awareness

Goal: Orient yourself fast. Rich context by default. Mid-session awareness with --now.

Usage

/recap           # Rich: retro summary, handoff, tracks, git
/recap --quick   # Minimal: git + focus only, no file reads
/recap --now     # Mid-session: timeline + jumps from AI memory
/recap --now deep # Mid-session: + handoff + tracks + connections

DEFAULT MODE (Rich)

Run the rich script, then add suggestions:

bun ~/.claude/skills/recap/recap-rich.ts

Script reads retro summaries, handoff content, tracks, git state. Then LLM adds:

What's next? (2-3 options based on context)

Step 1.5: Detect INCUBATED_BY (#229)

The recap-rich.ts script auto-detects .claude/INCUBATED_BY breadcrumbs. If present, shows:

## ⚠️ INCUBATED REPO
oracle: mawui-oracle
date: 2026-04-13
source: https://github.com/...

This tells the oracle: "You are in a repo tracked by another oracle. Check the breadcrumb for context."

Step 2: Git context

git status --short
git log --oneline -1

Check what's appropriate from git status:

Uncommitted changes? → show them, suggest commit or stash
On a branch (not main)? → git log main..HEAD --oneline to see branch work
Branch ahead of remote? → suggest push or PR
Clean on main? → just show last commit, move on

Only read what matters — don't dump 10 commits if status is clean.

Step 2.5: Skill shelf staleness

Skills are copied into ~/.claude/skills/ (fork model), so fixes never propagate on their own — an oracle can run a superseded skill indefinitely with nothing to signal it. This surfaces it during orientation, where you'd notice.

bun "$(dirname "$0")/skills-staleness.ts" 2>/dev/null || true

Silent when the shelf is current. Prints only when you are behind, the install is 30+ days old, the manifest can't be reconciled against disk, or --verbose. Never blocks — any failure exits 0 and prints nothing, because orientation must not break on a diagnostic.

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

recap is a skill published in the GitHub repository Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli (121 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 2,939 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
