Git Standup Summary

Generate concise daily/weekly standup summaries from git commit history. Analyzes recent commits, groups them by type (features, fixes, refactors, chores), and produces a standup-ready status report. Use when the user wants to: (1) Generate a daily standup summary for yourself or your team, (2) See what everyone worked on yesterday, (3) Prepare for daily scrum meetings, (4) Get a weekly activity digest, (5) Track progress on a specific branch or feature, (6) Generate a status report for your manager. Best for developers, engineering teams, remote workers, scrum masters, and anyone who needs quick git-based status reports.

Git Standup

Turn your git log into actionable standup summaries — see what you (or your team) worked on in seconds.

When to Use

✅ USE this skill when:

• "What did I do yesterday?"
• "Generate my daily standup"
• "What did the team work on this week?"
• "Show me progress on the feature/xyz branch"
• "Summarize commits since last Monday"
• "Prepare my scrum update"
• "Generate a weekly activity report"

❌ DON'T use this skill when:

• Need a full changelog between releases → use a release tool
• Need code review on the changes → use a code review skill
• Need deployment summaries → use a CI/CD skill

How It Works

1. Queries git log with the requested time window
2. Parses commit messages, authors, dates, and file paths
3. Groups commits by:
   • Type (features, fixes, refactors, docs, chores, tests)
   • Scope/area (API, frontend, CLI, database, etc.) — extracted from Conventional Commits scopes
   • Author (for team reports)
4. Generates a clean, scrum-ready summary

Tips

• Best with Conventional Commits — works best when commit messages follow type(scope): description format, but also works with any commit style
• Use daily — run at the end of your day or first thing in the morning for your standup
• Team repos — run on the shared repo for a quick team-wide view
• Multiple repos — run in each repo and combine results for a multi-project standup

Notes

• Works with any git repo — no special configuration needed
• Respects .git boundaries; won't traverse outside the repo
• For team mode, lists up to 10 most active authors
• Large history (>200 commits) is summarized rather than listed individually
