st0nefish/catchup

Rebuild full context of in-progress work. Use after switching context or starting a new session.

Steps

1. Run the catchup script:

   bash ${COPILOT_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/catchup
   

2. If the current branch matches type/NNN-*, fetch the full issue and recent comments:

   bash ${COPILOT_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/git-cli issue show <N>
   

3. Read changed files (from both committed and uncommitted changes in the catchup output). If more than 15 files, prioritize:

   • Source code over generated/lock files
   • Files mentioned in recent commit messages
   • Test files alongside their implementations

4. Present a concise summary:

   • Branch: name and commits ahead of default
   • Linked issue: #N title, key requirements from body (if any)
   • What's been done: from recent commits
   • What's in progress: uncommitted changes, any WIP commit context
   • Key files: most important changed files
   • Suggested next steps: from issue, recent commits, or partial work

Notes

• Read-only, safe for auto-approval
• Sections with no content are omitted to keep output lean
