A read-only briefing about the current state of a Git repository or branch. It uses repository, Git, and GitHub information to explain the project and its outstanding work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to understand a repository’s purpose, review recent work, find open tasks, and decide what to work on next.
Why use it?
It gives you a current picture of what is finished, underway, or blocked without changing the repository.

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-now 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/repo_snapshot.sh), 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 — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Repo Now

Give the user a current briefing from repository, Git, and GitHub evidence. Observe only unless the user separately authorizes changes.

Guardrails

  • Do not edit, clean, stage, commit, switch branches, fetch, pull, push, or change external systems.
  • Do not run tests, builds, formatters, installers, or generators by default because they may change the worktree or caches.
  • Treat uncommitted and untracked files as user-owned. Never infer permission to alter them.
  • Prefer explicit unknowns over guesses. Label interpretations as inference.

Workflow

  1. Establish scope.

    • Use the current working directory unless the user names another repository or worktree.
    • Find and read the closest applicable AGENTS.md or equivalent repository instructions.
    • Run scripts/repo_snapshot.sh [path] for the standard bounded Git snapshot.
  2. Understand purpose and intended work.

    • Inspect the root README, manifest, task runner, and only the relevant specs, plans, roadmap, or design docs.
    • Inspect recent commits and the diff summary against the default-branch candidate.
    • Search for focused TODOs only when they help answer the request; a TODO count is not a roadmap.
  3. Add remote evidence when available.

    • If gh exists, is authenticated, and the repository is on GitHub, use read-only gh repo view, gh pr view or gh pr list, and gh run list queries.
    • Confirm the default branch from GitHub when possible. Otherwise call the helper result a candidate.
    • Report unavailable or stale remote evidence; never fetch merely to refresh it.
  4. Assess validation evidence.

    • Read the task runner and .github/workflows when test commands or CI coverage are unclear.
    • Use existing CI results and repository artifacts as evidence. State that local tests were not run unless the user asked for them.
  5. Synthesize.

    • Separate observed facts from inference and unresolved questions.
    • Explain dirty worktree state without claiming ownership or completion.
    • Rank at most three next actions by leverage, dependency order, and ability to unblock current work.
    • If the evidence does not support a recommendation, say what single missing check would resolve it.

What ships with it

2 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.
