/recap
Generates a one-line summary of the current session on demand.
For automatic recaps after being away, see the 'Session recap' docs.
โ WHEN TO USE IT?
Quickly get back up to speed after a break
After a pause, run /recap to see in one sentence where the session currently stands.
Share a short status update
Use /recap to get a one-sentence summary of the current session state to pass along to colleagues.
โ WHEN NOT TO?
Saving or sharing the full conversation history
/recap only gives a one-line summary, not the full text of the conversation.
Better: Use /export to export the entire conversation as plain text.
