| name | recap |
| description | Produce a bounded, token-aware summary of an issue's history and current state — its description, status, dependencies, and accumulated comments. Wraps `forge recap` so an agent can rebuild context on a single issue after a session break without re-reading the entire issue store.

forge recap
Purpose
Reconstruct context on one issue quickly. forge recap <issue> distills the
issue's description, status, dependency links, and comment trail into a bounded
summary, so you can resume work without manually scrolling its full history.
When to Use
- At the start of a session that resumes a previously claimed issue.
- After context compaction, to reload what an issue is about and where it stands.
- Before commenting or closing, to confirm the latest state.
Command
forge recap <issue>
Instructions
- Run
forge recap <issue> with the id you are resuming.
- Read the summarized status, decisions, and open threads.
- Treat the recap as the authoritative current state of the issue.
- Continue with comment or close.
Example
$ forge recap forge-142
forge-142 Wire kernel selector into dispatch [in_progress]
- Selector wired in bin/forge.js (commit 467b868).
- Multi-id close acceptance test added and green (commit c3bcb36).
- Remaining: confirm release readiness gate clears.
Success Criteria
Related Skills
- show: full raw detail when the bounded recap is not enough.
