catchup
Summarizes recent git changes for context recovery after session breaks. Use when resuming work after a gap or handing off to another session.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill catchup-athola-claude-night-market-4 --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

Answers "what changed and what matters?" efficiently. ## When To Use - Joining ongoing work or returning after absence - Before planning or reviewing handoffs - Any "what happened and what's next" context ## When NOT To Use - Doing detailed diff analysis - use diff-analysis instead - Full code review needed - use review-core instead ## Activation **Keywords**: catchup, summary, status, progress, context, handoff **Cues**: "get me up to speed", "current status", "summarize progress" ## Progressive Loading Load modules based on context: **Git**: Load `modules/git-catchup-patterns.md` for git commands.

What does the catchup skill do?
Summarizes recent git changes for context recovery after session breaks. Use when resuming work after a gap or handing off to another session.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill catchup-athola-claude-night-market-4 --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
