Catchup Command

by goern

AI Summary

Catchup Command intelligently reviews recent git changes—either uncommitted work or the last commit—to help Claude quickly understand what's changed after a session restart. Developers benefit by avoiding manual git command repetition and getting instant context recovery.

Then restart Claude Code (or reload the window in Cursor) so the skill is picked up.

Description

Review last commit and branch changes

Usage

Run this command after: • Starting a new session • Using /clear to reset context • Switching to a different branch with existing work

Examples

• /catchup - Smart review: working changes if present, otherwise last commit • /catchup HEAD - Review last commit only • /catchup HEAD~1 - Review previous commit only • /catchup abc123 - Review specific commit by hash only

Catchup Command

Smart review of recent changes: reviews working tree changes if present, otherwise reviews the last commit. Can also review specific commits when provided.

Purpose

This command helps bring Claude up to speed after a session restart (/clear) by: • Without arguments: • If working tree has changes → Review current working changes (modified, staged, and untracked files) • If working tree is clean → Review the last commit (HEAD) • With commit-ref: Analyze the specified commit
