Compile Digest

Compile a structured digest of all merged PRs, open PRs, and commits against the main branch since a provided cutoff date.

Workflow

1. Parse cutoff date. Convert relative dates (e.g., "2 weeks ago") to ISO 8601 using date -d before passing to scripts.
2. Fetch merged PR list — run the following and capture the JSON output:

   source ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/digest-merged-prs.sh $ISO_DATE
   

3. Fetch commit list — run the following and capture the text output:

   source ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/digest-commits.sh $ISO_DATE
   

4. Fetch open PR list — run the following and capture the JSON output:

   source ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/digest-open-prs.sh $ISO_DATE
   

5. Deep-dive each PR in parallel sub-agents — for each PR in the merged and open lists, launch the pull-request-explorer sub-agent. Pass the PR number in the prompt. Collect each agent's raw findings.
6. Assemble digest — distill the collected findings into the digest template. Each bullet should be one focused technical point — no compound sentences merging unrelated changes. Parenthetical (reason) when a mechanism change isn't self-evident. Breaking: bullet always last. Merged PRs in merge order (oldest first), open PRs in creation order (oldest first). Write the result to scratchpad/DIGEST.md and tell the user.

Script Customization

Scripts are starting points. Compose variants as needed (e.g., filter by label, author, or branch). The sub-agent exploration step can be adjusted for depth.
