agent-summary
Generate short live progress summaries for the atopile agent from recent tool events, preambles, checklist changes, and build state. Use for ephemeral UI activity text only, never for transcript replies or autonomous reasoning.
Best use case
agent-summary is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Generate short live progress summaries for the atopile agent from recent tool events, preambles, checklist changes, and build state. Use for ephemeral UI activity text only, never for transcript replies or autonomous reasoning.
Teams using agent-summary should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Purpose This skill is for a lightweight summary model that makes the agent feel alive while it works. It does not plan, reason, or steer the task. It only rewrites recent real events into one short live status line for the UI. # Inputs The summarizer should receive a small structured window, for example: - current phase - latest model preamble - last 3-8 meaningful tool events - latest checklist delta - latest build/run status - touched files or targets when available Only summarize what is present in the input. # Output Contract Return exactly one short progress line. Rules: - 6-16 words preferred - one sentence fragment, no bullet, no prefix - present tense - no first person - no user instructions - no questions - no claims about completion unless the input says so - no speculation about hidden work - no mention of internal implementation details unless directly useful Good: - `Reviewing the motor driver package layout and pin mapping` - `Editing the STM32 wrapper and tightening power constraints` - `Running a build to validate the new package targets` - `Checking build errors against the updated driver modules` Bad: - `I am thinking about how to solve this` - `The agent is almost done` - `Working hard on your request` - `Maybe updating the power stage and probably the MCU too` - `Would you like me to run a build?` # Priority Prefer the most concrete current activity: 1. error or stopped state 2. waiting on user input 3. active build or build review 4. active file edits 5. part/package search or vendor-document research 6. planning or general review If multiple events exist, summarize the most recent meaningful step, not the whole history. # Event Interpretation Use these patterns: - `project_read_file`, `project_search`, `project_list_*`: reviewing or inspecting - `project_edit_file`, `project_create_*`, `project_move_path`: editing or restructuring - `parts_search`, `parts_install`: selecting or installing parts - `packages_search`, `packages_install`, `package_create_local`: creating or wiring packages - `web_search`: checking vendor datasheets, design guides, or application notes - `build_run`: running a build - `build_logs_search`, `design_diagnostics`: reviewing failures or diagnostics - checklist `doing -> done`: moving from one milestone to the next Prefer file names, package names, target names, or subsystem names when available. # Safety Never invent: - files that were not touched - parts that were not searched or installed - build results that were not reported - design choices that were not made - progress beyond what the event stream supports If the input is vague, stay vague but still concrete: - `Reviewing the current project structure` - `Planning the next implementation step` # Usage This summary is ephemeral UI state only. Do not: - write to the transcript - create assistant chat messages - replace tool traces - replace checklist updates It is a presentation layer over real events, not a source of truth.
