What it does

After a chunk of work is done, surfaces what the model noticed but was never asked to do — adjacent tasks, unraised risks, natural follow-ups, and contradictions with the original plan. Opt-in only; the model reviews the work it just completed and the context it gathered, then returns a tight ranked list, each item with a one-line "worth doing? (y/n)". Triggers on "/whatdidimiss", "what did I miss", "what did you uncover", "anything else worth doing", "did we miss anything", "what else came up".

What this skill changes about the agent has not been set out here as a list. Its SKILL.md, shown below, says it in the author’s own words.

The skill itself

A skill is instructions the model reads, so you can see what you are getting: below is the start of its SKILL.md. The front matter loads with every session, the body loads when the skill triggers, and the whole file comes with the install.

9Review the work you JUST completed in this session and surface the things you noticed but were never explicitly asked to handle. This is the "while you were in there, what else did you see?" pass.

11## Why this exists
12
13Doing a task generates side-knowledge — an adjacent bug, a risky edge case, an obvious next step, a fact that quietly contradicts the original plan. That knowledge normally evaporates when the turn ends. This skill makes you spend it before it's gone. It is **opt-in** (Lucas invokes it deliberately) precisely so it never nags — do not propose wiring it into a hook, Stop event, or settings.json.

15## What to do
16
171. **Look back at the actual work, not the whole repo.** Ground this in what you did and read THIS session: files touched, commands run, errors seen, code/context examined, the original ask. Do not go spelunking for new problems — this is reflection on work done, not a fresh audit.
18
192. **Surface only genuine findings**, sorted best-first, across these four buckets (omit any bucket that's empty — don't pad to fill it):
20 - **(a) Adjacent** — things you noticed but didn't do (a nearby bug, a stale comment, a sibling file with the same issue).
21 - **(b) Risks / edge cases** — failure modes or edge cases you saw but didn't raise (empty input, race, missing auth check, unhandled error path).
22 - **(c) Follow-ups** — the natural next step the work sets up (a test to add, a migration to run, a doc to update, a caller to update).
23 - **(d) Contradictions** — anything you found that conflicts with the original plan, a stated assumption, or memory/ground-truth (the request assumed X but the code does Y).

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈180
always loaded
The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.
870
on trigger
The instruction body, read only when the skill fires.
0.53%
of a 200k window
Ten skills this size would take about 5% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

1.1k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Small enough to keep loaded permanently without thinking about it.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been set out here step by step. It is in the body of its SKILL.md: the start of it is shown above, and the whole file comes with the install.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

Its SKILL.md does not declare which tools it asks the agent for, so what it touches is whatever the instructions themselves ask for — read them before you install it.

What it asks for
Writes filesnot declared
Network accessnot declared

This SKILL.md carries no allowed-tools line, so neither is declared. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

1 file, 4.2 kB on disk. A bundle is text throughout: the instructions the model reads, plus the templates it fills in.

  • SKILL.md4.2 kB
What is not in it

No dependencies and nothing executable: a skill is text the agent reads, so the bundle is 1 file you can review in full before installing. The MIT licence covers the templates and examples as well as the instructions.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

# What Did I Miss · 1.1k tokens when loaded · macOS, Linux mkdir -p .claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/what-did-i-miss/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/what-did-i-miss" ] && { [ ! -e .claude/skills/what-did-i-miss ] || { mv .claude/skills/what-did-i-miss "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/what-did-i-miss" .claude/skills/ && echo "Installed .claude/skills/what-did-i-miss"
On Windows, or any OS with Node 20+
npx mcprush@latest skill add lucface/what-did-i-miss

Windows PowerShell says 'running scripts is disabled on this system'? Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned once, or type npx.cmd instead of npx (codex.cmd, gemini.cmd, grok.cmd likewise). PowerShell 7 needs neither. Writes to .claude/skills/what-did-i-miss/ in the current project. For every project instead, run mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/what-did-i-miss/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/what-did-i-miss" ] && { [ ! -e ~/.claude/skills/what-did-i-miss ] || { mv ~/.claude/skills/what-did-i-miss "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/what-did-i-miss" ~/.claude/skills/ && echo "Installed ~/.claude/skills/what-did-i-miss" (macOS, Linux) — or add --global to the npx line. The curl line replaces .claude/skills/what-did-i-miss/ only after the download succeeds, so files left there by another skill of the same name, or by an older release, do not mix in. A copy already there is moved aside, not deleted, and the line prints where. It appears as whatdidimiss in Gemini CLI, Codex, Copilot and Grok (its own name); Claude Code lists it by the folder name, what-did-i-miss.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. Most of these read a skills folder and pick it up without being told; the rest take the same folder another way — an upload in the app, a parameter on an API call — and then choose it by its description just the same.

Versions

Its author publishes no version number, so there is nothing here to pin to: what you install is the folder as it stands today. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

Pinning

Nothing to pin to: this skill carries no version number of its own. What you install is what the folder holds on the day you install it.
