SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill gives you a fast, read-only snapshot of where a repository stands so you can plan a release or choose the next thing to build without digging through git history, backlog notes, and memory files by hand.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Release recap: Reports the last shipped version, commits since the latest tag, conventional-commit types, and the semver bump those commits imply.
  • Repository state awareness: Shows whether the branch is ahead, behind, or aligned with upstream, and degrades gracefully when tags or git metadata are missing.
  • Backlog and questions summary: Buckets work items into open, picked up, and dropped, nests epic children under their parent, and condenses pending questions into a compact planning view.
  • Use case: Use it at session start or before a release discussion to quickly understand what shipped, what is staged, and what should be tackled next.

Quick Start

Ask the standup skill to summarize the repository’s last release, unreleased commits, backlog, and open questions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a read-only summary of unreleased commits and backlog items for release planning?

To get a read-only summary for release planning, analyze the repository's last shipped version, conventional commits since the latest tag, and nested backlog items. This produces a compact standup recap showing what shipped, what is staged, and the semver bump those commits imply.

How does conventional commit classification determine the semver bump for a release?

Conventional commit classification determines the semver bump by reading release rules from .releaserc.json and categorizing commits since the latest tag. It analyzes commit types like features or fixes to imply the correct semantic versioning increment for the next release.

Can I generate a release recap if my repository is missing git tags or metadata?

Yes, you can generate a release recap with missing git tags or metadata. The analysis degrades gracefully when repository memory or git data is missing, still providing a read-only snapshot of backlog items and open questions for planning.

What is the best way to track upstream divergence and branch state before a release discussion?

The best way to track upstream divergence is to analyze whether your branch is ahead, behind, or aligned with upstream. This read-only repository state awareness shows pending changes and helps you decide what should be tackled next during release planning.

How do I organize nested backlog items and open questions into a compact planning view?

To organize nested backlog items into a compact planning view, bucket work items into open, picked up, and dropped categories. Nest epic children under their parent epics and condense pending questions to quickly understand what should be tackled next.
