Overview

The recap skill surfaces and formats the current live context into a clear, organized summary. It focuses on Preferences, Recent Context, and Active Goals, helping users quickly regain footing when starting a new session or resuming after a break.

How This Skill Works

It uses the Current Context (Live) data captured by the recap command and presents it as structured sections: Preferences, Recent Context, and Active Goals. It also highlights blocked or high-priority items and, if no recap data exists, suggests creating goals with goal(action="create") or re-running a recap with session(action="recap").

When to Use It

• Starting a new session
• Resuming after a break
• When context about previous work is needed
• User asks "what were we working on?"
• Restoring context from a previous session

Quick Start

1. Step 1: Trigger recap with mira tool session '{"action":"recap"}'
2. Step 2: Review the Recap sections — Preferences, Recent Context, Active Goals
3. Step 3: If no recap data exists, create goals with goal(action="create") or retry with session(action="recap")

Best Practices

• Capture user preferences (coding style, tool choices) to populate Preferences
• Keep Recent Context concise and focused on recent work
• Define Active Goals with milestones and owners
• Highlight blockers or high-priority items clearly
• If context is missing, prompt for goal creation (goal(action="create")) or re-run recap (session(action="recap"))

Example Use Cases

• A developer resumes after a sprint and asks for a recap of what was being worked on and the current goals
• A designer starts a new session and needs the Prior Context, preferences, and active milestones
• A data analyst returns after a pause and wants the Recent Context and blockers summarized
• A new teammate joins and requests a quick recap of previous work and goals
• An engineer resumes after an outage and needs the current active goals and blockers highlighted
