Project briefing

Skill arniesaha/ctxops/skills/project-briefing

WHEN resuming a repo after time away, onboarding another agent, preparing a handoff, or checking what needs attention. Produces a one-page operational brief for a whole project. Triggers: 'where am I on this', 'brief me on repo X', 'pick up where we left off', 'what does the next agent need'. OUTPUT: one-page brief (status, how to run/verify, risks, next action). NOT FOR: a single decision/task (use ctx-pack), prior-session lookup (use recall-prior-work).From its SKILL.md

project-briefing

Use for whole-project resume/handoff. Different from ctx-pack (task-specific) and recall-prior-work (memory-only).

Workflow

Read existing status docs first: README, STATUS, AGENTS, runbooks, deployment notes.
Check recent changes: git status, recent commits, open TODOs.
If the working tree is clean or the repo has been idle, pull a persistent-memory timeline for the project (e.g. claude-mem), if available, to recover what was last in flight.
Identify runtime surfaces: local URLs, deployed URLs, commands, tests, dashboards.
Summarize operationally.

Rules

Do not rewrite the project docs unless asked.
Do not include every file. Include the files that affect action.
If the deployment path is known, include the exact verification path.
If status is uncertain, say what command or page would verify it.
