git-standup

What This Skill Does

The git-standup skill for OpenClaw is a powerful productivity utility designed to automate the often tedious task of drafting daily progress reports. By analyzing your local or remote Git commit history, this agent autonomously parses commit messages, categorizes them according to conventional commit standards (feat, fix, refactor, etc.), and generates a professional, structured Markdown report. It bridges the gap between technical output and management visibility, allowing developers to communicate their daily contributions effectively without manual logging.

Installation

To install this skill, run the following command in your terminal or OpenClaw interface:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/antonia-sz/git-standup

Ensure that you have Git installed on your system and that you have the necessary read permissions for the repository directories you intend to monitor.

Use Cases

• Daily Standups: Quickly generate a list of what you accomplished during the day to paste into Slack or Microsoft Teams.
• Weekly Review: Compile a summary of work over the last 5-7 days to send to stakeholders or project managers.
• Project Handovers: Provide a concise history of recent changes when onboarding new team members or wrapping up a project phase.
• Performance Tracking: Aggregate metrics like commit count and code volume for your own personal development tracking.

Example Prompts

1. "@OpenClaw git-standup --date today - generate my daily report for the frontend repo."
2. "@OpenClaw git-standup --since '1 week ago' --output weekly_report.md - prepare a summary of my work this week."
3. "@OpenClaw git-standup --author 'my-github-handle' --group-by type - create a report grouped by task category for my current repository."

Tips & Limitations

• Commit Discipline: The accuracy of the report heavily relies on clean commit messages. Using standard formats like [feat] description ensures the tool can correctly categorize your work.
• Performance: For repositories with massive commit histories, generating reports for very long time ranges may take a few extra seconds to process.
• Scope: This tool is strictly read-only regarding your Git history; it will never push changes to your remote, ensuring a high level of safety for your source code. If your repo uses submodules, specify paths carefully using the --repos flag to ensure all relevant changes are captured in the final output.
