restate

restate to me what I just said in your own words so I know you understood me

Which chat

1. If this conversation already has real work before /restate, that is the source. Use the current thread. Do not open transcripts.
2. If this conversation is only /restate, use the most recent other chat:
   • Find the newest *.jsonl for the app you are running in: ~/.cursor/projects/*/agent-transcripts/ in Cursor, ~/.claude/projects/*/ in Claude Code.
   • Skip the current conversation if you can identify it.
3. If the user names a chat, use that one instead.

What to read

Only the last user message. Do not read or summarize earlier turns.

• Skip the /restate invocation itself.
• Skip tool traces.
• Ignore the rest of the conversation.

Write

• Paraphrase that last user message in your own words.
• Same meaning. Do not add analysis, options, or next steps.
• Do not start doing the work they asked for.
• No preamble, no heading, no bullets unless their message was a list.
