SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Display the current jj working copy status and changes from trunk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Show current status: Run jj status to see the current working copy status, including modified files and the current commit's parent(s).
  • Show trunk commits: Run jj log -r 'trunk()..@' to see all commits between trunk and the current working copy.
  • Get change overview: Run these commands to understand the scope of changes: jj diff -r 'trunk()..@' --summary and jj diff -r 'trunk()..@' --stat.
  • Analyze the changes: For small changes, run jj diff -r 'trunk()..@' to view the full diff; for large changes, use the Task tool for structured analysis.
  • Present context: Display current status, trunk log, and file changes summary; for large diffs, rely on the Task agent's summary.

Frequently Asked Questions about jj-context

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I view jj working copy status and trunk changes?▼

To view jj working copy status and trunk changes, the tool runs jj status, jj log, and jj diff to display modified files, trunk history, and file diffs. It provides a quick snapshot for code review and development scenarios.

What is the best way to review local jj diffs before committing?▼

Reviewing local jj diffs is best handled by executing jj diff -r 'trunk()..@' for full changes. For large diffs, the tool leverages a Task agent to provide structured analysis and summaries.

How do I see all commits between trunk and my current jj working copy?▼

To see all commits between trunk and the current working copy, the tool executes jj log -r 'trunk()..@'. This displays the complete trunk history leading up to your current workspace.

Can I get a summary of changed files in my jj workspace?▼

Yes, you can get a summary of changed files using jj diff -r 'trunk()..@' --summary and --stat. This surfaces a concise overview of modifications without loading the full diff output.

How does jj-context handle large diffs during code review?▼

For large diffs, the tool avoids displaying the full output directly. Instead, it relies on a Task tool agent to perform structured analysis and present a summarized context of the changes.

Do I need any special setup to display jj status and file changes?▼

No special setup is required beyond having jj installed. The tool operates directly on your active workspace using standard jj status, log, and diff commands to surface local changes.
