Rewind

85TrustedInstructions only

Access recent screen and audio activity by searching your local history for specific events.

What it does

Adding this skill grants the assistant the ability to review your recent computer activity through the Clips Desktop application. It effectively acts as a bridge to your local history, allowing you to ask questions about past visual sessions, meetings, or documents you interacted with moments ago. The assistant can identify specific chapters of your day to retrieve accurate details rather than relying on your memory.

The assistant uses this capability to bridge the gap between your current project and previous actions. Instead of manually retracing your steps, you can request summaries of recent work sessions or clarify details from a recorded call, keeping your workflow focused on the task at hand.

When it earns its place

Reach for it when…

Apply this when you need to recover information from a meeting, a past browser window, or a specific visual moment you previously viewed on your screen. It is most effective when searching for details within a clear timeframe, such as recalling exactly what was displayed during a conversation earlier today.

Look elsewhere when…

Avoid this if you require deep historical analysis across weeks or months of data, as this tool is specialized for recent, active memory. It is also unsuitable for general file management tasks or indexing documents that were never displayed on your screen during a captured session.

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 was on my screen when I was looking at the design draft earlier?
  • Can you check what I said in the meeting a few minutes ago?
  • Look at Rewind and tell me the error message I just saw.
  • Summarize what I was working on before I took that break.

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/rewind ~/.claude/skills/rewind

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/rewind .claude/skills/rewind

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

Installing on Claude.ai or through the API instead? The full guide covers every surface.

Pair it with an MCP server

Rewind changes how the work is done. These servers change what Claude can reach while doing it.
