description: This prompt instructs an AI to read the full user–assistant conversation and produce a structured “Cold Start Summary” that prioritizes the user’s intent, motivations, and evolving requirements, while briefly noting the assistant’s key contributions. The result is a concise, professional recap organized into context, goals and reasoning, key progress/decisions, open threads/next actions, and brief guidance for a new assistant to continue, with safeguards against inventing details or exposing sensitive information.

## What it does

This prompt instructs an AI to read the full user–assistant conversation and produce a structured “Cold Start Summary” that prioritizes the user’s intent, motivations, and evolving requirements, while briefly noting the assistant’s key contributions. The result is a concise, professional recap organized into context, goals and reasoning, key progress/decisions, open threads/next actions, and brief guidance for a new assistant to continue, with safeguards against inventing details or exposing sensitive information.

> Requires the **betterprompt** CLI to run. For installation and general CLI usage, refer to the `betterprompt` skill in your skill list or if not yet available in skill list, install via `npx skills add https://github.com/BetterPromptme/betterprompt/skills --skill betterprompt`

## Inputs


### textInputs

Pass each text input using `--input <key>=<value>` flags.

| Variable key | Required? | Description | Defaults |
| --- | ---: | --- | --- |
| `summary_length` | Optional | Desired level of detail | `short, medium, detailed` |
| `chat_transcript` | Required | The complete text of the conversation between the user and the assistant. | (none) |



### Models and options

This skill's modality is: **`text`**.

To discover which `model` values you can use (and which `options` keys/values are valid for each model), run:

```bash
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
```

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where `modality` is `"text"`.

## How to run

### Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run `betterprompt resources --models-only --json` and filter to `modality: "text"` to discover valid models and available options:

```bash
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
```

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:


- Required text inputs:
    - `chat_transcript`
- Optional text inputs (use defaults if not provided by the human):
    - `summary_length` (default: `short, medium, detailed`)
- Optional: model and options.
  - Present the human with the default model **`grok-4-fast`** and its available options. Look up `grok-4-fast` in the `betterprompt resources` output (filtered to modality `"text"`) and show its `availableOptions` as: `key: val1, val2 (default), val3  |  key2: ...`. Mark a value `(default)` if it matches these defaults: `{"reasoningEffort":"low"}`.
  - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model `grok-4-fast`, options `{"reasoningEffort":"low"}`. Other models from the resources call are also available.

If any required text input is missing, **ask the human for what's missing**. Do not assume or fabricate values.

### Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's `skillVersionId` as the positional argument (for this skill version, use `019a5c19-bb9b-741b-9d26-e16bb06a14a6`).

Command form:

```bash
betterprompt generate 019a5c19-bb9b-741b-9d26-e16bb06a14a6 \
  [--input <key>=<value>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]
```

Notes:

- Pass each text input as a separate `--input <key>=<value>` flag.
- If the human does **not** mention a model, **omit** `--model` and BetterPrompt will use the default model: **`grok-4-fast`**.
- If the human does **not** mention options, **omit** `--options` and BetterPrompt will use the default options: **`{"reasoningEffort":"low"}`**.
- If the run times out, the response will include a `runId` you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

```bash
betterprompt generate 019a5c19-bb9b-741b-9d26-e16bb06a14a6 \
  --input 'summary_length=short, medium, detailed' \
  --input chat_transcript=<value> \
  --model grok-4-fast \
  --options '{"reasoningEffort":"low"}'
```
