Keeps a recap-plus summary of the session above the prompt: what it is for and where it stands; /recap-plus adds what was done and decided, what waits on you…

A Claude Code mod that shows a session summary right above the prompt. When you switch between sessions, you can see what each is for and where the work stands without scrolling through the conversation.

Run these commands in Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add skanehira/claude-recap-plus
/plugin install recap-plus@claude-recap-plus
/reload-plugins
Type /recap and check that /recap-plus appears. You can also check that recap-plus@claude-recap-plus is enabled with claude plugin list.
If you installed the plugin under its former name, disable that copy in /plugin before installing this one. Saved summaries and usage totals are not migrated; the new plugin rebuilds summaries from the conversation and starts usage totals from zero. Existing files are left in place.
Start a conversation as usual. The band shows the session's purpose and status, and updates after each turn of the main conversation. During a turn, it keeps the previous summary and marks the status with (working). The first summary appears after the first turn finishes.
Open the full summary with /recap-plus or the band's details button:
| Part | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Purpose | What the session is for, including the target file, feature or pull request |
| Status | Where the work stands now |
| Done | The latest 5 completed items |
| Decisions | The latest 5 decisions, including answers to Claude's questions |
| Waiting on you | The latest 5 things Claude is waiting for you to answer or do |
| Next | What Claude will do next |
Text wraps to the available width. Close the pane with Esc or its close button; press b when the pane has focus. The band is hidden while the pane, a dialog or a survey is shown.
Summaries are saved per session. Resuming a session shows its saved summary, or generates one if it is missing or out of date. /clear starts a new summary.
Without custom bindings, use /recap-plus to open the pane, or ctrl+x tab to focus the band and then b. Use ctrl+x ctrl+a to fold or restore the band.
For shorter access, add these bindings to the Chat context in ~/.claude/keybindings.json. /keybindings opens that file. If a Chat context already exists, add the two entries to its bindings. Changes apply without restarting Claude Code.
{
"bindings": [
{
"context": "Chat",
"bindings": {
"ctrl+x b": "app:cycleDiffBase",
"ctrl+x i": "abovePrompt:toggle"
}
}
]
}
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| ctrl+x b | Open the summary pane, or close it when it is shown |
| ctrl+x i | Fold or restore the band |
ctrl+x b works only while the band or summary pane is visible. If the band is folded or a dialog is open, use /recap-plus once the dialog closes. In the diff panel, ctrl+x b retains its usual action of cycling the comparison base.
The summary follows Claude Code's language setting, for example in ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
"language": "Japanese"
}
Japanese settings such as Japanese, 日本語, ja and ja-JP give Japanese labels and summaries. Other languages give English labels and summaries in the configured language. With no setting, both are English.
After changing the setting, run /reload-plugins or restart the session. Existing summary text changes language after the next turn.
The mod uses Haiku through the same account and provider as your Claude Code session. It calls Haiku after each main conversation turn, and when opening a session that needs a new summary. These calls use tokens and follow your session's billing arrangements.
Summary requests include the previous summary, your request, Claude's final answer, questions and answers, and selected tool activity such as command descriptions, file paths, URLs and search queries. When rebuilding a summary, they can also include earlier requests and the compaction summary. File-read and file-search tool activity is excluded; text quoted in a request or answer can still be included.
Non-interactive runs (claude -p) do not generate summaries. To stop Haiku calls, disable the plugin in /plugin or run:
claude plugin disable recap-plus@claude-recap-plus
There is no mode that keeps the band without Haiku calls. See request details and usage totals for more information.
Refresh the marketplace, update the plugin, and restart Claude Code:
claude plugin marketplace update claude-recap-plus
claude plugin update recap-plus@claude-recap-plus
/plugin, run /reload-plugins, and start a turn. Restore a folded band with ctrl+x ctrl+a or ctrl+x i if configured.claude -p runs./recap-plus is unavailable, try the band's details button or ctrl+x b if configured.claude plugin uninstall recap-plus@claude-recap-plus
claude plugin marketplace remove claude-recap-plus
Remove the two custom bindings from ~/.claude/keybindings.json if you added them. To also delete all saved summaries and usage totals:
rm ~/.claude/plugins/store/recap-plus_*.json
