scanning-git-for-tils

Scanning Git commits identifies non-obvious educational patterns by filtering noise like dependabot updates and merge commits. This Skill analyzes your GitHub history across repos and organizations, surfacing TIL-worthy commits ranked by learning value, then outputs a Markdown summary and candidate list for evaluation.

Yes. This Skill integrates with Notion to persistently track assessed commits, preventing duplicates across scans. Evaluated commits are stored in your Notion workspace, so subsequent runs automatically skip already-reviewed items.

You need Python 3.11+, the GitHub CLI (gh), the 1Password CLI (op) for secret retrieval, and Notion API access. The Skill uses inline dependencies and runtime validation, so additional setup beyond these CLIs and API credentials is minimal.

Run the scan script with a day range (e.g., last 30 days) to fetch TIL candidates. The Skill returns a JSON payload containing a Markdown field with formatted summaries and a new_commits list, ready for Claude or your writing workflow.

Yes. The Skill performs cross-repository and cross-organization scanning via the GitHub CLI, automatically aggregating commits from all accessible repos into a single ranked analysis and summary.

The Skill excludes dependabot updates, merge commits, and version bumps to surface only substantive, learning-focused changes. This filtering reduces noise and surfaces commits with genuine educational value.
