What it does

Recognition Recents And Suggestions is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use this skill when designing surfaces that accelerate repeat tasks through recents, frequently-used items, and contextual suggestions. Trigger when designing pickers used repeatedly, command palettes, navigation that should adapt to user behavior, or any surface where a returning user shouldn't have to retype their frequent destinations. Sub-aspect of recognition-over-recall; read that first.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/recents-and-prediction-cases.md`).

The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Designing surfaces that accelerate repeat tasks through recents
  • Frequently-used items
  • Contextual suggestions
  • Designing pickers used repeatedly

Example prompts

  • “/recognition-recents-and-suggestions”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. The "would the user pick this without typing?" check. For each picker, ask: in the median case, can the user get to their target without…
  2. The recents-quality audit. Sample your recents lists. Are they actually relevant to current intent?
  3. The privacy review. What do recents reveal? Should they be hidden by default in some contexts?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3e1456a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are html).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Recognition Recents And Suggestions loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 467 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~109
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use this skill when designing surfaces that accelerate repeat tasks through recents, frequently-used items, and contextual suggestions. Trigger when designing pickers used repeatedly, command palettes, navigation that should adapt to user behavior, or any surface where a returning user shouldn't have to retype their frequent destinations. Sub-aspect of `recognition-over-recall`; read that first.

Recents, frequents, and contextual suggestions

Recognition is fastest when the user doesn't even have to scan a long list — when the system anticipates and surfaces the likely options first. Recents, frequents, and predictive suggestions all leverage this: the user's likely target is at the top, often without typing anything.

Patterns

Recents

A list of items the user has recently interacted with. Surfaced at the top of pickers, navigation, or empty search inputs.

html
<combobox label="Recipient">
  <input placeholder="Search recipients..." />
  <listbox>
    <group label="Recent">
      <option>Maria Mendoza (last sent: yesterday)</option>
      <option>Marketing Team (last sent: 3 days ago)</option>
    </group>
    <group label="All">...</group>
  </listbox>
</combobox>

Most users compose for a small set of recipients repeatedly; recents collapse the recall task.

Frequents

Items used most often (regardless of recency). Useful when usage is clustered around a small set but not necessarily recent.

Frequently used apps:
  • Email
  • Slack
  • Code editor
  • Browser

A common laptop dock pattern.

System-predicted likely options based on context. Examples:

  • A "for you" feed.
  • "People you may know."
  • "Suggested replies" in messaging.
  • "Suggested tags" when categorizing.

Recommendations work when the prediction is good. Bad recommendations (irrelevant, wrong) are worse than none — they distract and erode trust.

Pinned / favorites

User-curated frequently-accessed items. Less algorithmic than recents/suggestions; user-explicit.

Pinned:
  ★ Q4 Planning Doc
  ★ Team OKRs
  ★ Customer feedback dashboard

Combine with recents and suggestions for a complete fast-access surface.

Smart defaults

Pre-fill fields with predicted values based on context (signed-in user, recent inputs, time of day, location).

html
<form>
  <label>Country
    <select name="country">
      <option value="US" selected>United States</option>
      <!-- selected because of user's IP location -->
    </select>
  </label>
</form>

The user can change but rarely needs to.

When recents/suggestions hurt

  • When the prediction is bad. Wrong recents distract; the user has to filter past them.
  • When privacy matters. Recents reveal user history; in shared-device contexts this can leak information.
  • When the option set is critical to the task. A "recent" suggestion in a destructive action might bias the user toward the wrong choice.

For high-stakes actions, present the full set without privileging recents.

Privacy and recents

Recents reveal user activity to anyone with screen access. Considerations:

  • Don't surface recents on shared/public devices unless explicitly opted in.
  • Provide a "clear recents" option.
  • Don't leak across tenants (a recent in workspace A shouldn't appear when the user switches to workspace B).
  • Be cautious with sensitive contexts (health apps, finance apps, dating apps).

Anti-patterns

  • Stale recents that include items the user no longer cares about, never expiring.
  • Recents that span privacy boundaries (work email recents in personal context).
  • Suggestions that don't update as the user's behavior changes.
  • Surfacing recents in wrong contexts (showing "recent files" on a different user's account).

Heuristics

  1. The "would the user pick this without typing?" check. For each picker, ask: in the median case, can the user get to their target without typing? If yes, recents are doing their job.
  2. The recents-quality audit. Sample your recents lists. Are they actually relevant to current intent?
  3. The privacy review. What do recents reveal? Should they be hidden by default in some contexts?
  • recognition-over-recall (parent).
  • recognition-pickers-and-palettes — picker patterns recents augment.
  • satisficing — recents enable satisficing by surfacing acceptable options first.
  • hicks-law-defaults — defaults and recents both reduce decision cost.
