You switched branches, or you’re picking up someone else’s work, or you just haven’t looked at this branch in a week.
This prompt catches you up.
It diffs against main for both committed and uncommitted changes, reads the important files (services, routers, schemas, components), and tells you what’s done, what’s half-finished, and what looks broken.
Pair it with any AI agent that has git access.
Prompt
Get caught up on what's changed in this branch.
1. Run `git diff --name-only main...HEAD` to find all files modified in this branch
2. Run `git diff --name-only` to find any uncommitted changes
3. Read the key modified files (prioritize: services, routers, schema, components)
4. Summarize:
- What features/fixes are being worked on
- What's done vs in-progress
- Any obvious issues or incomplete work
Keep the summary concise - focus on what I need to know to continue working.
