What it does
Catchup is an agent skill from athola/claude-night-market. Summarizes recent git changes for context recovery after session breaks. Use when resuming work after a gap or handing off to another session.
Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `modules/document-analysis-patterns.md`, `modules/git-catchup-patterns.md` and `modules/log-analysis-patterns.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: 23 Claude Code plugins: TDD enforcement hooks, git/PR workflows, spec-driven development, code review, project lifecycle, fix-from-error, maintenance automation, context… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Resuming work after a gap
- Handing off to another session
Example prompts
- “Use the catchup skill to summariz recent git changes for context recovery after session breaks”
- “/catchup”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f3eb00. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Catchup loads about 833 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 282 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Catchup Analysis Methodology
Overview
Structured method for quickly understanding recent changes in git repositories, meeting notes, sprint progress, document revisions, or system logs. 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. Consider sanctum:git-workspace-review for initial data gathering.
Documents/Notes: Load modules/document-analysis-patterns.md for meeting notes, sprint tracking, document revisions.
Logs/Events: Load modules/log-analysis-patterns.md for time-series and metric analysis.
Always Available: imbue:proof-of-work, TodoWrite workflow, structured output.
Required TodoWrite Items
catchup:context-confirmed- Boundaries establishedcatchup:delta-captured- Changes enumeratedcatchup:insights-extracted- Themes identifiedcatchup:followups-recorded- Actions captured
4-Step Methodology
Step 1: Confirm Context
Define scope (git branch, sprint, meetings), baseline (last state), and current target. See modules for commands.
Step 2: Capture Delta
Enumerate changed items with metrics. Prioritize source/config/docs over generated artifacts. See modules for strategies.
Step 3: Extract Insights
Per item: What (change), Why (motivation), Implications (tests/risks/deps). Rollup into themes.
Step 4: Record Follow-ups
Capture: Tests, Documentation, Reviews, Blockers, Questions. If none, state explicitly.
Output Format
## Summary
[2-3 sentence theme + risk overview]
## Key Changes
- [Item]: [what/why/implication]
## Follow-ups
- [ ] [Action with owner]
## Blockers/Questions
- [Item requiring resolution]Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.
Integration
Use imbue:diff-analysis for risk assessment, imbue:proof-of-work for reproducibility, sanctum:git-workspace-review for git data. Feed to brainstorming or writing-plans as needed.
Token Conservation
Reference paths and lines (don't reproduce). Summarize outputs. Defer deep analysis. Use progressive loading.
Exit Criteria
- Four TodoWrite items completed
- Context/delta/insights/follow-ups captured
- Stakeholders understand state without re-reading sources
