GitHub activity report

This skill generates a markdown-friendly report of your GitHub activity over a date range using the gh CLI.

Usage

Run the bundled script with optional START_DATE and END_DATE (format: YYYY-MM-DD).

# Default: last 7 days
bash skills/gh-activity-summary/activity-report.sh

# Specific range
bash skills/gh-activity-summary/activity-report.sh 2026-01-01 2026-01-07

Requirements

• gh (GitHub CLI) - must be authenticated (gh auth login)
• jq - used for JSON counting and formatting

What It Does

• Lists commits you authored in the date range.
• Lists pull requests you created and merged.
• Lists pull requests you reviewed.
• Lists issues you created.
• Prints simple summary counts for quick status updates.

How It Works

• Uses gh search to query commits, PRs, and issues scoped to @me.
• Uses platform-aware date defaults (macOS vs Linux) when you omit dates.
• Formats output as readable markdown so you can paste it into status updates or pipe it into an LLM for summarization.

To generate a short natural-language summary, you can pipe the report into your preferred model:

bash skills/gh-activity-summary/activity-report.sh 2026-01-01 2026-01-07 | claude "Summarize this in 2-3 sentences"

Daily timeline view

For a single specific day (commits grouped by repo and branch, issue interactions, and a chronological event timeline), use the timeline script:

# Today
bash skills/gh-activity-summary/gh-activity.sh

# A specific date (YYYY-MM-DD)
bash skills/gh-activity-summary/gh-activity.sh 2025-12-15

Where activity-report.sh aggregates a range via gh search (best for "what did I do this week"), gh-activity.sh replays the GitHub events API for one day (best for "what happened on the 15th", including pushes, PR comments, and issue activity in order).
