SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Performs git archaeology, changelog analysis, and builds a verified factual timeline by cross-referencing git history with source material.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-reference Stage 1 summary with repository history to produce a trusted timeline and velocity analysis.
  • Read-only analysis of git history and CHANGELOG to extract metrics such as commits by month, releases, and contributors.
  • Outputs three reports: git-archaeology, changelog-analysis, and timeline.

Quick Start

Run the Stage 2 Research on a REX-ready repository by providing the Stage 1 summary file and the absolute path to the git repository to generate the three output reports.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify git commit metrics against source material for a timeline?

To verify git metrics against source material, perform git archaeology and changelog analysis to cross-reference repository history with existing summaries, producing a trusted factual timeline and velocity analysis.

Can I extract contributor velocity and release timelines from a git repository?

Yes, you can extract contributor data, release timelines, and commit velocity from a git repository by running read-only analysis on git history and CHANGELOG files to aggregate metrics like commits by month.

What's the best way to cross-reference a summary with git history for verified dates?

Cross-referencing a summary with git history involves validating dates and commit data against the repository log, ensuring the resulting timeline report contains only verified facts matched to actual source history.

Does git archaeology for talk preparation require write access to the repository?

No, git archaeology for talk preparation satisfies read-only data collection requirements, meaning it extracts metrics and timelines without modifying the repository or requiring write permissions.

What formats do the outputs take when analyzing changelog and git history?

Analyzing changelog and git history produces three distinct output reports: a git-archaeology report, a changelog-analysis report, and a final verified timeline, each containing extracted metrics and cross-referenced data.

When should I skip git metrics research in Concept mode?

You should skip git metrics research in Concept mode because the tool automatically bypasses data collection during conceptual phases, ensuring verified commit analysis only runs when building actual REX talks.
