Our review

Generates a handoff summary from recent git activity and pipeline status, saved to a dated markdown file.

Strengths

  • Uses git history and status to capture context
  • Produces a clear, structured summary
  • Saves to session_logs for session continuity

Limitations

  • Relies on the /status command being available
  • Only captures the last 7 days if no prior handoff exists
  • May miss context not represented in git or status
When to use it

Use when wrapping up a session for a co-author or a future session.

When not to use it

Avoid when a real-time collaborative summary from live chat context is needed rather than git history.

Examples

Prepare handoff for co-author
Prepare a handoff summary for my co-author based on recent changes.
Write session log
Review the last week of changes and write a session log to session_logs.
Summarize current state
Check git log and status, then create a handoff note for future me.

Prepare a co-author or future-session summary. Review: (1) Git log since the last handoff (or last 7 days if no prior handoff). (2) Any files modified recently. (3) Current pipeline status (run /status internally). Produce a plain-language summary covering: what changed, what outputs were regenerated, what to review, open questions. Write to session_logs/YYYY-MM-DD_handoff.md (create session_logs/ if needed).
