# Recent Context From Git
Use this skill when the goal is to summarize recent project context from local docs and git history.
This skill is the replacement for the old `recent_context_from_git` command.
## Documentation Roots
Prioritize these locations:
1. `thoughts/shared/devlog/`
2. `thoughts/shared/plans/`
3. `thoughts/shared/research/`
4. `docs/specs/`
5. `docs/decisions/`
6. `docs/changelog/`
## Workflow
1. Query recent git history for the documentation roots above
2. Read the most relevant recent files, prioritizing devlogs and plans
3. Return a compact summary with:
- in-progress work
- recently completed work
- key supporting specs, ADRs, or research
- suggested next steps
Prefer commands equivalent to:
```bash
git log --name-only --no-commit-id --pretty=format: \
-- 'thoughts/shared/research/*.md' \
'thoughts/shared/plans/*.md' \
'thoughts/shared/devlog/*.md' \
'docs/specs/*.md' \
'docs/decisions/*.md' \
'docs/changelog/*.md'
```
Then deduplicate, prioritize by recency, and read the most relevant files.
