Stay on top

A short summary of your project every day. You spot stuck work sooner.

↻ Runs by itselfevery weekday morning

How the habit works.
You don't have to.

Three questionsWhen does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?

01

It starts by itself

daily repo digest. Runs in Claude Code routine or cron.

  • ↻ daily repo digest
  • 0 8 * * 1-5

02

It checks its work

gh calls succeed. If a check fails, it tells you.

  • ✓gh auth status passes
  • ✓every gh call uses --json with selected fields
  • ✓digest file exists

03

It remembers

daily digest log. The next run reads it first: yesterday's open PRs and issues.

loops/gh-repo-digest-loop/run-log.md

One run, step by step.
Then it stops.

Stop ruleStops after one repository and 50 items per run; read-only, no merges or comments.

  1. 01

    Check auth

    Run gh auth status.

  2. 02

    List PRs

    Run gh pr list with --json number,title,author,updatedAt.

  3. 03

    Check CI

  4. 04

    List issues

    Run gh issue list with --json number,title,labels,assignees.

  5. 05

    Write digest

    Compare with yesterday and write what is new, stale or failing.

What it may do.
Nothing more.

Safe by defaultIt writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.

Is it for you?
Use it when it fits.

Quick checkRead both lists. If the left one sounds like you, the GitHub CLI skill helps.

Use it when

  • ✓ You work with PRs or issues
  • ✓ You search code on GitHub
  • ✓ You call the GitHub API from the shell

Skip it when

  • – You do not use GitHub
  • – gh is not installed or authenticated

Questions

GitHub CLI skill, answered.

Will it merge or close anything?

No. This loop only reads; the skill has write commands but the loop does not use them.

Why --json and --jq?

The skill asks for only the needed fields to keep output small.
