A prompt that gets you up to speed on a branch’s current state by analyzing git diff --name-only main...HEAD for committed changes and git diff --name-only for uncommitted work. The agent reads key modified files — prioritizing services, routers, schemas, and components — and delivers a concise summary of what features or fixes are in progress, what’s done vs. incomplete, and any obvious issues.
Especially useful after context switching between branches, picking up someone else’s work, or returning to a branch after a break. Works best with Claude Code or any AI agent with 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.
