Documentation

README

Excerpt

Catchup — Async-Team Return Briefing

You've been away. This skill is a thin orchestrator: it resolves the window + sources here, then delegates the I/O fan-out, impact analysis, and brief assembly to the catchup-runner agent (Sonnet) so your (often Opus) session does not pay for summarization. You only print what the agent returns.

Usage

/catchup                                  # since you were last active
/catchup --since "friday"
/catchup --since "2h" --focus reviews-requested
/catchup --since last-commit --depth deep
/catchup --scope all                      # include cross-repo pings/reviews

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
