catchup

# Context Catchup Restore context after `/clear` - summarize recent work and project state. ## Purpose After clearing context with `/clear`, use this command to quickly rebuild understanding of: - What was recently modified - Current project state - Outstanding TODOs and issues - Where to resume work ## Instructions ### Step 1: Git History Analysis ```bash # Recent commits (last 10) git log --oneline -10 # Files modified in last 5 commits git diff --stat HEAD~5 2>/dev/null || git diff --stat $(git rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD) # Current branch and status git branch --show-current git status --short ``` ### Step 2: Recent Changes Summary ```bash # What changed today git log --oneline --since="midnight" --author="$(git config user.name)" 2>/dev/null # Uncommitted work git diff --name-only git diff --cached --name-only ``` ### Step 3: TODO/FIXME Scan ```bash # Find outstanding work markers in recently modified files git diff --name-only HEAD~5 2>/dev/null | head -20 | xargs grep -n "TODO\|FIXME\|XXX\|HACK" 2>/dev/null | head -30 ``` ### Step 4: Project State Check ```bash # Check for common state indicators [ -f "package.json" ] && echo "📦 Node project: $(jq -r '.name // "unnamed"' package.json)" [ -f "Cargo.toml" ] && echo "🦀 Rust project: $(grep '^name' Cargo.toml | head -1)" [ -f "pyproject.toml" ] && echo "🐍 Python project" [ -f "go.mod" ] && echo "🐹 Go project: $(head -1 go.mod | cut -d' ' -f2)" # Active branch purpose (from branch name) BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current) echo "🌿 Branch: $BRANCH" ``` ## Output Format Provide a structured summary: --- ### 📍 Context Restored **Project**: [name from package.json/Cargo.toml/etc] **Branch**: [current branch] **Last Activity**: [time of last commit] ### 🔄 Recent Work (Last 5 Commits) 1. [commit message 1] - [files affected] 2. [commit message 2] - [files affected] ... ### 📝 Uncommitted Changes - [list of modified files with brief description of changes] ### ⚠️ Outstanding TODOs - [file:line] TODO: [description] - [file:line] FIXME: [description] ### 🎯 Suggested Next Steps Based on recent activity: 1. [Most likely next action based on patterns] 2. [Alternative focus area] --- ## Usage Examples **After a long break:** ``` /catchup ``` → Full context restoration **Quick status check:** ``` /catchup --brief ``` → Just commits and uncommitted changes **Focus on specific area:** ``` /catchup auth ``` → Filter to auth-related changes ## Pro Tips 1. **Document before `/clear`**: Write a brief note in a commit message or CLAUDE.md before clearing context 2. **Use with Memory Bank**: Combine with `.claude/memory/` files for persistent state 3. **Branch naming**: Use descriptive branch names (e.g., `feat/user-auth`) to aid context restoration $ARGUMENTS
