Quick Recap

85TrustedInstructions only

Standardized status indicators at the end of every agent output.

What it does

Installing Quick Recap forces the assistant to append a consistent, color-coded status line to the end of every response. This acts as a clear signal for the user to understand if the requested work is fully resolved or if the process hit a wall.

It changes how the assistant closes its messages, preventing ambiguity about whether a task is done or if hidden manual steps remain. It is useful for maintaining visibility on complex projects where task status can easily get lost in a long reply.

When it earns its place

Reach for it when…

Apply this when you need an immediate, high-level summary of task completion after every turn in a chat. It is helpful for project tracking, multi-step coding sessions, or any workflow where you need to know if the assistant expects further user input or if it is waiting on external dependencies.

Look elsewhere when…

Do not install this if your tasks require dense, formatted logs or if you prefer a conversational closing statement. This tool replaces natural sign-offs with a rigid format, which might be unnecessary for simple, single-turn interactions or creative writing tasks.

What to say to use it

You never invoke a skill directly — the assistant picks it up when your request matches what it covers. These are the kinds of things that do that.

  • what is the current status of the task
  • is the code ready to deploy or am I waiting on something
  • tell me if you need anything else from me to proceed
  • finish the task and tell me if you are done

Install it

Install for all your projects

Copy the skill directory into your personal skills folder. Claude picks it up on its own the next time your request matches what it does — there is nothing to enable.

bash
git clone --depth 1 --branch main https://github.com/BuilderIO/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/quick-recap ~/.claude/skills/quick-recap

Install for one project only

Put it in the project's own skills folder instead, so it can be committed and shared with everyone working on that repository.

bash
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/quick-recap .claude/skills/quick-recap

If a skill of the same name exists in both places, the personal one wins.
