Command definition

summarize-changes.md
allowed-tools: Bash(git:*)
description: Summarize recent changes for standup, PR, or documentation
argument-hint: "[today|week|branch|pr] (default: today)"

Context

  • Current branch: !`git branch --show-current`
  • Default branch: !`git remote show origin 2>/dev/null | grep 'HEAD branch' | cut -d' ' -f5 || echo "main"`
  • Git user: !`git config user.email 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown"`
  • Today's commits (all authors): !`git log --oneline --since="midnight" 2>/dev/null || echo "No commits today"`
  • This week's commits (all authors): !`git log --oneline --since="1 week ago" 2>/dev/null | head -20`
  • Branch commits (vs origin's default branch): !`git log --oneline origin/HEAD..HEAD 2>/dev/null | head -20`
  • Files changed on branch: !`git diff --stat origin/HEAD...HEAD 2>/dev/null | tail -5`

Task

Generate a clear, concise summary based on the scope:

1. **today**: What I did today (for standup) 2. **week**: Weekly summary (for reports) 3. **branch**: All changes on this branch (for PR) 4. **pr**: Full PR description with sections

For **today** and **week**, report only the git user's own commits: re-run the log with `--author=<git user>` using the address shown above. If the two branch lists above are empty, compute them against the default branch shown above.

Format the output as:

  • **Summary**: 1-2 sentence overview
  • **Changes**: Bullet list of key changes
  • **Files**: Main files affected
  • **Impact**: What this enables or fixes
