DevLearn recap — reference

Session opener (meta skill uses this too)

When .devlearn/progress.md has Last session:

**Welcome back.** Last time: [one line from Last session]. Continuing [feature] or something new?

Skip opener if user said "just ship" or first message is urgent bug.

Example recaps

Viber, vibe (15 lines max)

## Session recap (60 seconds)

**We worked on:** A todo list that saves when you refresh the page.

**Key terms:**
- **DOM** — the browser's live tree of your page
- **localStorage** — saves strings in your browser between visits
- **event listener** — code that runs when you click

**Files touched:** `index.html`, `app.js`, `styles.css`

**Try next:** Delete a todo, refresh — confirm it's still gone.

**Next session:** `/devlearn-apis` if you want a real server.

Seasoned, curious

## Session recap (60 seconds)

**We worked on:** Extracted save helper; added optimistic UI for deletes.

**Decisions:**
- localStorage vs IndexedDB — stayed localStorage; volume fits MVP
- No sync layer yet — document as known limitation

**Verify before merge:** `npm test`, incognito smoke on add/delete path.

**Suggested next:** `/devlearn-pre-ship` if opening PR today.

Progress.md Last session block

When conversation-only recap

If no files:

1. List 3 things agent changed (from memory)
2. List 2 terms explained
3. Offer /devlearn-onboard to persist next time

Integration with teach-while-coding

Event	Who updates progress
After each lesson block	meta skill may append concept
End of session / /devlearn-recap	this skill consolidates Last session

Avoid duplicate concept rows — merge same concept with new date in Reference column if glossary has file:line.
