recap

name	recap
description	Summarize the last N agent sessions for the current project, grouped by date
argument-hint	[last N | today | this week]
user-invocable	true

The user wants a recap. Time window args: $ARGUMENTS

Quick start

Call memory_sessions, filter by project cwd, apply time window, group by date.

Why

Get a bird's-eye view of recent work without reading every session log.

Workflow

1. Parse $ARGUMENTS: today, this week, last N, bare number, empty (default last 10).
2. Call memory_sessions MCP tool, filter by current project cwd.
3. Apply time window, sort by startedAt descending.
4. Group by calendar date (YYYY-MM-DD).
5. For each date, list sessions with id, title/first prompt, observation count, status.
6. Indent 2-3 highlight observations per session (importance >= 7).

Anti-patterns

WRONG -- inventing sessions when results are empty:

// Just say "No sessions found for that window" instead of fabricating

RIGHT -- honest response:

// "No sessions found for the requested time window (last 10)."

WRONG -- loose cwd prefix match across unrelated repos:

// Using raw prefix match: session.cwd.startsWith("/repo") matches "/repo-staging"

REST fallback

If MCP tools are unavailable: GET $MEMPALACE_URL/sessions and POST $MEMPALACE_URL/smart_search with Authorization: Bearer $MEMPALACE_SECRET.
