Summarize Current Conversation
Review everything that has happened in this conversation and produce a two-section summary.
Instructions
Look back through the entire conversation history — every user message, every tool call, every result, every correction.
Produce the following two sections:
Ongoing Task
Summarize the work in progress:
- Initial Request: What the user originally asked for. State it clearly and concisely.
- Progress Made: What has been accomplished so far. List concrete deliverables (files created, bugs fixed, features implemented, decisions made). Be specific — reference file paths, function names, and outcomes.
- Next Steps: What remains to be done. If the task is complete, say so. If there are open questions or follow-ups, list them.
Continuous Improvement
Analyze the conversation for learning opportunities:
-
Mistakes Made by Claude: Actions Claude took that were wrong, suboptimal, or had to be redone. Include:
- What happened
- What the correct approach was
- Why Claude got it wrong (wrong assumption, missing context, tool misuse, etc.)
-
Mistakes Pointed Out by Human: Corrections the user explicitly made. Include:
- What the user corrected
- What Claude was doing wrong
- Whether this is a recurring pattern
-
Lessons Learned: Actionable takeaways from this conversation that would improve future sessions. These could be:
- Workflow improvements
- Tool usage patterns
- Project-specific conventions discovered
- Things that should be added to CLAUDE.md or memory
- Skills or plugins that would have helped
Formatting Rules
- Be honest and specific — don't gloss over mistakes or be vague
- If there were no mistakes in a category, say "None" — don't fabricate issues
- Keep each bullet concise but include enough detail to be actionable
- Reference specific messages or tool calls when describing mistakes
