Our review

This skill generates a co-author or future-session summary by reviewing Git logs, recently modified files, and current pipeline status.

Strengths

  • Automates creation of a structured handoff summary
  • Reduces the risk of overlooking important changes
  • Integrates pipeline status for a comprehensive view

Limitations

  • Requires meaningful Git history to be useful
  • May miss non-versioned context (discussions, decisions)
  • Depends on /status command which may not be available in all environments
When to use it

Use this skill at the end of a session or before handing off work to a colleague or future session.

When not to use it

Avoid using it when few changes have been made or when a summary is not required (e.g., very short sessions).

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score90/100

The skill only reads git history, modified files, pipeline status, and writes a summary to a local file. No destructive or exfiltrating actions, no external network calls, and no execution of arbitrary code.

Examples

Standard handoff summary
Prepare a handoff summary for my current session. Review the last 7 days of Git log, modified files, and check pipeline status. Save it to session_logs/.
Summary for co-author
Generate a co-author summary covering what changed today, what outputs were regenerated, and any open questions. Create the file in session_logs/.

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).
