Overview
Git Repo Digest produces repository and package digest markdown from an evidence bundle rather than from loose impressions. It runs a deterministic extractor, separates authoritative evidence from writing aids, and insists that the final prose stays tied to what was actually read from the source tree.
This makes it a good fit for repository pages, package-family overviews, or AI-authored documentation pipelines where the output needs to sound coherent without drifting away from the evidence.
Concepts
- Evidence-first writing: extracted XML and local source artifacts are the authority for the digest.
- Package before overview: package-level pages are meant to be written first so the higher-level overview can build on them.
- No-invention discipline: missing evidence is a blocker, not an invitation to improvise.
- Workspace-oriented flow: the skill expects a digest workspace and a result layout, not a one-shot paragraph in chat.
Usage guidance
Use this skill when the deliverable is a repository digest, family overview, or package narrative that must be traceable back to source. It is especially useful for documentation generation, product overviews, or local AI-maintained content directories.
Give it a repository URL or a local clone context and let it build the evidence bundle before writing. The biggest win comes when correctness matters more than speed and the resulting markdown needs to hold up under review.
