What it does

Deadline Prep is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Generate a structured demo outline from your session's change log and git history. Reads .claude/criticallogchanges.csv and git log to produce presentation-ready talking points for end-of-day demos, standups, or delivery deadlines.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Git workflow, Meeting notes and agendas and CSV and tabular files. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Git workflow
  • Tasks that involve Meeting notes and agendas
  • Tasks that involve CSV and tabular files

Example prompts

  • “/deadline-prep”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather data sources
  2. Analyze and categorize changes
  3. Generate the demo outline
  4. Save and present

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 14680ec. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Deadline Prep loads about 739 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 242 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~739

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.

Deadline Prep

Generate a structured demo outline from your work session. Combines the change log CSV (from the change-logger hook) with git history to create presentation-ready talking points.

Workflow

Step 1: Gather data sources

Change log (primary source if available):

  • Read .claude/critical_log_changes.csv if it exists
  • Parse columns: timestamp, tool, file_path, action, details
  • Group by: files created, files modified, commands executed

Git history (always available):

bash
git log --oneline --since="today 00:00"
git diff --stat HEAD~10 2>/dev/null || git diff --stat

If the CSV doesn't exist, fall back to git-only mode and note this in the output.

Step 2: Analyze and categorize changes

Group all changes into categories:

CategorySignals
Features shippedNew files, new routes, new components, feat commits
Bug fixesModified files with fix commits, error handling changes
RefactorsRenamed files, structural changes, refactor commits
Config/Setuppackage.json, tsconfig, CI/CD, Docker changes
TestsTest files created or modified
DocumentationREADME, docs, comments
Step 3: Generate the demo outline

Create a structured markdown document:

markdown
# Demo Outline — [Date]

## What I Shipped
- **[Feature/Fix name]**: One sentence explaining what it does and why it matters
- **[Feature/Fix name]**: One sentence explaining what it does and why it matters
- **[Feature/Fix name]**: One sentence explaining what it does and why it matters

## Architecture Decisions
- **[Decision]**: Why I chose this approach over alternatives
- **[Decision]**: Tradeoff I made and the reasoning

## What I Would Do Next
1. **[Priority 1]**: Why this is the most important next step
2. **[Priority 2]**: What this would unlock
3. **[Priority 3]**: Nice-to-have improvement

## Session Metrics
- Files changed: X
- Lines: +Y / -Z
- Commits: N
- Key files: `path/to/important/file.ts`, `path/to/other.ts`
- Time window: HH:MM - HH:MM
Step 4: Save and present

Save the outline to .claude/demo-outline.md.

Print the full outline to the terminal so the user can review it immediately.

Tips

  • Run this 30 minutes before your deadline to have time to review and add personal context
  • The "Architecture Decisions" section is what reviewers care about most — add context about tradeoffs
  • "What I Would Do Next" shows you think beyond the immediate task
  • Edit the generated outline to add your own voice and any context the log missed
  • Works best with the change-logger hook installed, but functions with git history alone
