What
When you return to a session after being away for 5+ minutes, Claude generates a brief recap of where things left off.
Status
Feature-flagged behind tengu_sedge_lantern (default: false). Can be force-enabled with CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AWAY_SUMMARY=1.
Details
- Tracks focus/blur events to detect when the user steps away
- On return, generates a recap: "under 40 words, 1-2 plain sentences, no markdown. Lead with the overall goal and current task, then the one next action."
- Toggleable in
/configviaawaySummaryEnabledsetting (when the flag is on) - Recap can be cancelled, and shows "No recap available" if generation fails
- A
/recapcommand is also available to manually trigger a recap - SDK event:
memory_recallemitted when memories are surfaced
Orphaned Tip: ⚠️ Users who get the flag enabled may see "(disable recaps in /config)" — but the feature doesn't work unless the flag is active.
Evidence
Feature gate (search for "tengu_sedge_lantern") and env override (search for "CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AWAY_SUMMARY")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
