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.

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:
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:
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-fastand its available options. Look upgrok-4-fastin thebetterprompt resourcesoutput (filtered to modality"text") and show itsavailableOptionsas: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.
- Present the human with the default model
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 name as the positional argument (for this skill, use intelligent-chat-condenser-for-seamless-restart).
Command form:
betterprompt generate intelligent-chat-condenser-for-seamless-restart \
[--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
--modeland BetterPrompt will use the default model:grok-4-fast. - If the human does not mention options, omit
--optionsand BetterPrompt will use the default options:{"reasoningEffort":"low"}. - If the run times out, the response will include a
runIdyou can use to fetch the result later.
Example (using defaults shown above):
betterprompt generate intelligent-chat-condenser-for-seamless-restart \
--input 'summary_length=short, medium, detailed' \
--input chat_transcript=<value> \
--model grok-4-fast \
--options '{"reasoningEffort":"low"}'
