repo-activity-summary

repo-activity-summary is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CodeAlive-AI/ai-driven-development. It costs 70 tokens per session (1,132 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A report of a software repository’s recent activity, based on its Git history. It shows the technologies, kinds of work, frequently changed files, contributors, and pace of change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare for onboarding, review recent engineering work, identify high-churn areas, compare contributor activity, or check which technologies the project uses.
Why use it?
It helps you understand an unfamiliar codebase without reading every commit or file. It also gives clues about whether the project is actively maintained and where changes are concentrated.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

repo-activity-summary scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/activity_summary.py, tests/test_activity_summary.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Repo Activity Summary

Answer "what's been happening in this repo" from local git history — no network, no tokens, no setup.

Trigger conditions

Use this skill when the user asks:

  • "What has this repo been working on recently?"
  • "What technologies does this project use?"
  • "Where are the high-churn files / hotspots?"
  • "Who's contributing and what are they working on?"
  • "Is this project actively maintained?"
  • Before onboarding onto an unfamiliar codebase.

Do not use this skill for file-level blame or provenance — use investigating-repository-history for that.

Quick start

python3 scripts/activity_summary.py --repo-dir . --days 90
Flag Default Description
--repo-dir . Path to the git repository
--days 90 Days of history to analyze
--author (all) Filter to one author
--format markdown markdown, json, or text
--max-commits 500 Cap for very active repos
--branch (current) Branch / revision to analyze (must not start with -)
--output / -o (stdout) Write the report to a file (UTF-8)
--classify-threshold 0.25 If the share of unclassified commits exceeds this fraction, mark work-type classification unreliable and emit subject samples
--max-unclassified-samples 40 Cap on unclassified commit subjects included in the report
--raw-subjects off Emit every filtered commit subject with sha and date for agent-side classification
--version Print version (1.1.0) and exit

What it produces

A structured report with:

  1. Overview — commit count, date range, contributors, lines added/deleted
  2. Technologies — languages and frameworks inferred from file paths (heuristic)
  3. Work type breakdown — feature / bugfix / refactor / docs / infra / release / … (keyword heuristic)
  4. Unclassified subjects — when keyword classification is unreliable, the raw subjects so the agent can classify them
  5. Churn hotspots — most frequently modified files and directories (lockfiles/generated paths excluded)
  6. Contributor patterns — per-author commits, lines, and primary focus
  7. Velocity — commits/week, active days, average commit size (same noise filter as churn)
  8. Project health — test modules (by basename/path convention), CI, docs, recency

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

repo-activity-summary is a skill published in the GitHub repository CodeAlive-AI/ai-driven-development (132 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 1,132 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
