Get Up to Speed

Quickly build situational awareness for a branch/ticket so work can continue without re-reading everything.

Preferences

On startup, use the Read tool to load ~/.claude/skills/get-up-to-speed/preferences.md. If it doesn't exist, use defaults.

Context

On startup, use Bash to detect: current git branch, repo root, and git remote URL. Skip any that fail.

Command routing

Check $ARGUMENTS:

• help → display help then stop
• config → interactive setup then stop
• reset → delete preferences file, confirm, stop
• AIS-XXXX — if argument looks like a Linear issue ID, use it as the ticket
• anything else — treat as extra context to include in the summary
• empty — auto-detect ticket from branch name

Use AskUserQuestion to collect:

• Q1: Summary depth — "Brief" (last 10 commits, ticket title) or "Detailed" (last 30 commits, ticket description, comments, plan file)
• Q2: Auto-read plan files — Yes/No — whether to check .claude/plans/ for active plans

Save to ~/.claude/skills/get-up-to-speed/preferences.md.
