/eidos:pickmeup

Re-entry point after days away — surface what happened, what's open, and where you left off.

Usage

/eidos:pickmeup [days]

• days — how many days back to look (default: 3)

Instructions

1. Determine Window

Parse the optional days argument (default 3). Calculate the start date.

2. Gather Git Activity

# Commits in the window, grouped by date
git log --since="<days> days ago" --format="%h %ad %s" --date=short

# Branches touched in the window
git log --since="<days> days ago" --all --format="%D" | grep -oE 'task/[^ ,]+' | sort -u

# Files changed in the window
git log --since="<days> days ago" --name-only --format="" | sort -u

Group commits by date, most recent first. Only show dates where something actually happened — skip silent days.

3. Gather Memory Artifacts

Scan memory/ for files with timestamps inside the window:

• Plans — active or recently completed (plan -)
  • For each plan: read status, show phase progress (e.g., "Phase 2: 3/5 done")
• Sessions — session exports (session -)
• Decisions — decisions made (decision -)
• Solved — completed todos (solved -)
• Todos — still open (todo -)

Match timestamps in filenames (YYMMDDHHMM) against the window.

4. Gather Open Work

Same as /eidos:next but summarised, not interactive:

• Incomplete plan actions (count per plan)
• Open todos
• Unprocessed goodjobs

5. Compose the Pickmeup

Run date '+%y%m%d%H%M' to get the current timestamp. Create memory/pickmeup - <timestamp> - <claim>.md (per [[spec - naming - prefixes structure filenames as prefix claim pairs]], e.g. pickmeup - 2602141030 - last 3 days activity.md) with this structure:

---
tldr: Pickmeup for <start date> to <end date>
---

# Pickmeup: <start date> — <end date>

## Timeline

### <date> (<day name>)
- `abc1234` commit message
  - [changed-file.md](<path>)
- `def5678` commit message
- => branch `task/feature-name` active

### <earlier date> (<day name>)
- ...

## Plans

### [[plan - YYMMDDHHMM - claim]]
- **Status:** active
- **Progress:** Phase 2 — 3/5 actions done
- **Last action:** description of most recent [x] action
- **Next action:** description of next [ ] action

## Decisions Made
- [[decision - YYMMDDHHMM - claim]] — one-line summary

## Completed
- [[solved - YYMMDDHHMM - claim]]

## Still Open
- [[todo - YYMMDDHHMM - claim]]
- N unprocessed goodjobs

## Where You Left Off

Brief narrative (2-3 sentences) synthesising: what was the focus, what got done, what's the natural next step.

6. Present and Commit

Show the pickmeup content directly in chat. Commit the file.

Then ask:

Ready to pick up where you left off?

1 - Continue active plan
2 - Work on open todo
3 - Something else

What feels right?

Output

• Creates: memory/pickmeup - <timestamp> - <claim>.md
