Daily Commit Summary Skill

Generate a daily task summary by analyzing git commits and rewriting them into clear, human-readable task descriptions.

When to Use This Skill

• "What did I do today?"
• "Summarize my commits"
• "Daily commit summary"
• "/daily-commit-summary"

Configuration

~/.daily-commit-summary.yaml:

repositories:
  - ~/projects/portal-api
  - ~/projects/portal-frontend
work_hours:
  start: "08:00"
  end: "18:00"
author: "your.email@example.com"

🚨 CRITICAL: EXECUTION STEPS (MUST FOLLOW IN ORDER)

STEP 1: Collect commits → Run git log commands for each repository

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Git Command Format

NEVER use cd to change directory before running git commands.

❌ WRONG (wastes tokens, often fails):

cd "/path/to/repo" && git log --author="email" ...

✅ CORRECT (use git -C flag):

git -C /absolute/path/to/repo log --author="email" --since="YYYY-MM-DD 08:00" --until="YYYY-MM-DD 23:59" --pretty=format:"%h %s" 2>/dev/null || echo "REPO_NOT_FOUND"

Always use git -C <path> to specify the repository path directly.

STEP 2: TRANSFORM commits to tasks → This is MANDATORY, not optional!

• Take each commit message
• Rewrite it as a human-readable task sentence
• Use action verbs: Fixed, Implemented, Updated, etc.

STEP 3: Output with Tasks FIRST → Tasks section must appear before commit details

⚠️ MANDATORY OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS

YOU MUST ALWAYS INCLUDE THE "Summary Task Daily" SECTION.

This section analyzes raw commits and rewrites them as clear task sentences. This is the PRIMARY purpose of this skill - not just listing commits.

DO NOT just dump raw commits. TRANSFORM them into task sentences.

🔄 TRANSFORMATION RULES (STEP 2)

Parse commits using Conventional Commits format: <type>(<scope>): <description>

Reference: #[[file:commit-msg/SKILL.md]]

For EACH commit, you MUST transform it like this:

Raw Commit	→	Transformed Task
feat(auth): add login with Google	→	Implemented Google login authentication
fix(cart): resolve quantity update issue	→	Fixed cart quantity update issue
fix(notification-template): update mock Thai name to include month	→	Fixed notification template to correctly display Thai month names in mock data
chore: update gitignore and mock data	→	Updated project configuration files (gitignore) and mock data for testing
refactor(api): simplify error handling	→	Refactored API error handling for better maintainability
perf(query): optimize database lookup	→	Optimized database query lookup performance
test(auth): add login unit tests	→	Added unit tests for login authentication
docs(readme): update installation steps	→	Updated README installation documentation
build(deps): upgrade react to v19	→	Upgraded React dependency to version 19
ci(github): add deploy workflow	→	Configured GitHub Actions deploy workflow

Task Writing Rules

1. Start with action verb: Fixed, Implemented, Updated, Refactored, Added
2. Be descriptive: Expand abbreviations, add context
3. Human-readable: Write for standup reports
4. Group related: Combine multiple commits about same feature
5. Skip empty: Don't include WIP/empty commits like [] as tasks

Grouping Example

Multiple related commits:

feat(auth): add login page
feat(auth): add password validation  
fix(auth): resolve token issue

→ ONE analyzed task:

- Implemented user authentication system with login page and password validation

Commit Type → Task Language

Reference: Uses Conventional Commits format from #[[file:commit-msg/SKILL.md]]

Type	Description	Task Action Words
feat	New feature or functionality	Implemented, Added, Created
fix	Bug fix	Fixed, Resolved, Corrected
docs	Documentation changes only	Updated documentation, Documented
style	Code style (formatting, semicolons, no logic change)	Fixed styling, Improved formatting
refactor	Code change that neither fixes bug nor adds feature	Refactored, Restructured, Improved
perf	Performance improvement	Optimized, Improved performance
test	Adding or updating tests	Added tests for, Improved test coverage
build	Build system or external dependencies	Updated build, Upgraded dependencies
ci	CI/CD configuration changes	Updated CI/CD, Configured pipeline
chore	Other changes (tooling, configs)	Updated, Maintained, Cleaned up
revert	Revert a previous commit	Reverted, Rolled back

Checklist Before Responding

Before showing output, verify:

• "Summary Task Daily" section is present at the TOP (after date)
• Tasks are TRANSFORMED (not raw commit messages)
• Tasks use clear action verbs (Fixed, Implemented, Updated, etc.)
• Related commits are grouped into single tasks
• Empty/WIP commits like [] are excluded from tasks

🚫 WRONG OUTPUT (just dumping commits):

📊 Daily Commit Summary
b0b0352 fix(notification-template): update mock Thai name to include month

✅ CORRECT OUTPUT (transformed to tasks):

📋 Daily Commit Summary
Date: Saturday, March 21, 2026

Summary Task Daily
- Fixed notification template to correctly display Thai month names in mock data

If the "Summary Task Daily" section is missing or contains raw commits, the output is WRONG.
