Side-route skill that renders a change as a single self-contained interactive HTML artifact — a finished diff, PR, or branch, or a plan's decisions and architecture before any of it is built. Three block sets: a scrolling recap for auditing a change (file-tree + change flags, annotated split diffs with line-anchored callouts, schema/API contract cards, UI wireframes, before/after columns, a per-unit series when one root cause repeats across four or more near-identical sites), a paged…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Visual Recap Render a finished change as a single self-contained interactive HTML file that shows a reviewer the *shape* of the diff before they read the lines: which surfaces moved, which hunks are load-bearing, what's risky — with callouts anchored to the exact lines, then a drop into the literal code. The output is **reviewer comprehension as a portable artifact**, not a defect list. It renders in one of **two modes**, chosen in Step 1 and never defaulted into: a **scrolling recap** when the reviewer is auditing a change, and a **walkthrough deck** — one idea per screen, premise → changes → mechanism → aftermath — when the reviewer has to be argued through one. This skill exists because Cohen's strongest empirical finding is *author preparation*: an annotated walkthrough prepared by someone who understands the change correlates with near-zero defect variance. The pipeline produces that annotation as terminal prose (`/pre-merge`, `/walk-commits`) but never as a highlightable, shape-first surface — so the reviewer rebuilds the change's topology in their own head before judging any line. `/visual-recap` produces the missing surface (Meadows: a missing high-bandwidth feedback… …

How to install
mdr add chrislacey89/skills/visual-recap@sha256:30ae4ec8d433b5a7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.41931dc, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
