# recap

Builds a brief recap of the previous lesson from progress files: what you covered, the main ideas, and what comes next. Handy when you come back to a course after a break.

## What it does

The skill reads four files under `progress`: the module tracker, quiz results, the learner's journal and the profile. From them it works out the latest lessons and quiz attempts, then prints a recap capped at 5–8 lines. The layout is fixed — what you worked on, two or three core ideas in plain words, and the next item in the track.

One suggested action follows. Mid-module it points to `/lesson`; right after a finished module, to `/quiz`; when scores were low, to `/explain [weak topic]`. Questions left in the journal get a short answer.

Everything comes from those files. With no `progress` data the skill says so and points to `/start`, so a bare project yields nothing. It is tied to the Rag Learning Academy course layout: strip away its files and the `/lesson`, `/quiz`, `/explain` commands, and the skill has nothing to work with.

# Recap: What You Learned Last Time

Give the learner a fast, useful summary of their most recent session so they can pick up where they left off.

## Step 1: Load Session History

Read the following files to reconstruct the last session:

- `progress/module-tracker.md` — find the most recently completed lessons (by date)
- `progress/quiz-results.md` — any quizzes taken recently
- `progress/journal.md` — any notes the learner wrote
- `progress/learner-profile.md` — current module and track

If no progress data exists, say: "No previous session found. Run `/start` to begin your journey."

## Step 2: Summarize Last Session

Keep it to 5-8 lines max. Cover:

1. **What you worked on** — which lesson(s), quiz, or challenge
2. **Key concepts** — the 2-3 main ideas from that session, in plain language
3. **Where you stopped** — what's next in the track

Format:

```
Last Session Recap
==================
You worked on: [lesson/quiz/challenge name]
Key concepts:
  - [concept 1 in one sentence]
  - [concept 2 in one sentence]
  - [concept 3 in one sentence]
Next up: [next incomplete lesson or suggested action]
```

## Step 3: Suggest Next Action

Based on where they left off, suggest one clear next step:

- If mid-module: `/lesson` to continue
- If they just finished a module: `/quiz` to test understanding
- If quiz scores were low: `/explain [weak topic]` to review
- If they wrote journal notes with questions: address the question briefly

Keep it short. The whole recap should fit in one screen.
