WIGO — What Is Going On?

Produce a comprehensive situational briefing on the current git worktree. Gather signals from git state, Claude session logs, and GitHub to reconstruct context and suggest actionable next steps.

Workflow

Run Steps 1, 2, and 3 in parallel (they are independent). Then run Steps 4-6 sequentially.

Step 1: Git Tree State

Run the following commands via Bash and record the output:

git rev-parse --show-toplevel
git branch --show-current
git status --short
git stash list
git diff --stat
git diff --cached --stat
git log --oneline -1

From the results, determine:

• The repo root and current branch name.
• Whether the tree is dirty: count modified (unstaged), staged, and untracked files separately.
• Whether there are any stashes.

Step 2: Recent Activity from Git Log

git log --oneline -10

Determine the default branch (main or master):

DEFAULT_BRANCH=$(git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed 's|refs/remotes/origin/||')
if [ -z "$DEFAULT_BRANCH" ]; then
  if git show-ref --verify --quiet refs/heads/main 2>/dev/null; then
    DEFAULT_BRANCH=main
  elif git show-ref --verify --quiet refs/heads/master 2>/dev/null; then
    DEFAULT_BRANCH=master
  else
    DEFAULT_BRANCH=$(git branch --list --format='%(refname:short)' | head -1)
  fi
fi
echo "$DEFAULT_BRANCH"

Then show commits ahead of it:

git log --oneline <default-branch>..HEAD

From the results, summarize:

• What the recent commits describe (the narrative arc of the work).
• How many commits this branch is ahead of the default branch.

Step 3: Session Log Mining

Reconstruct what we've been working on from Claude's session logs.

1. Get the repo root from Step 1 (or run git rev-parse --show-toplevel again).
2. Compute the project session directory. The path encoding replaces / with -. For example, /home/user/myproject becomes ~/.claude/projects/-home-user-myproject/.
3. List all .jsonl files in that directory, sorted by modification time (most recent first):

ls -t ~/.claude/projects/<encoded-path>/*.jsonl 2>/dev/null

4. For up to the 5 most recent session logs, extract user messages and assistant text responses. Use a Python one-liner to pull content snippets:

python3 -c "
import json, sys, os

log_dir = sys.argv[1]
if not os.path.isdir(log_dir):
    print('No Claude session history found for this project.')
    sys.exit(0)
files = sorted(
    [f for f in os.listdir(log_dir) if f.endswith('.jsonl')],
    key=lambda f: os.path.getmtime(os.path.join(log_dir, f)),
    reverse=True
)[:5]
if not files:
    print('No Claude session logs found.')
    sys.exit(0)

for fname in files:
    path = os.path.join(log_dir, fname)
    session_id = fname.replace('.jsonl', '')
    print(f'\n=== Session: {session_id} ===')
    with open(path) as fh:
        for line in fh:
            line = line.strip()
            if not line:
                continue
            try:
                obj = json.loads(line)
            except json.JSONDecodeError:
                continue
            msg = obj.get('message', {})
            role = msg.get('role')
            if role not in ('user', 'assistant'):
                continue
            content = msg.get('content', '')
            # Handle content that is a list of blocks
            if isinstance(content, list):
                texts = []
                for block in content:
                    if isinstance(block, dict):
                        if block.get('type') == 'text':
                            texts.append(block['text'][:300])
                        elif block.get('type') == 'tool_result':
                            pass  # skip tool results
                        elif block.get('type') == 'tool_use':
                            texts.append(f'[tool: {block.get(\"name\", \"?\")}]')
                    elif isinstance(block, str):
                        texts.append(block[:300])
                content = ' | '.join(texts)
            elif isinstance(content, str):
                content = content[:300]
            else:
                continue
            if not content.strip():
                continue
            # Skip system reminders
            if '<system-reminder>' in content:
                continue
            print(f'  [{role}] {content[:200]}')
" "$HOME/.claude/projects/<encoded-path>/"

5. Also check for session metadata files to get timestamps:

ls -t ~/.claude/sessions/*.json 2>/dev/null | head -5

For each, read the file and extract startedAt, cwd, and kind.

6. Synthesize a narrative from the extracted messages: "In recent sessions, you were working on X. The last session focused on Y."

Step 4: Find Associated PR

Using the branch name from Step 1, search for an associated pull request:

gh pr list --head <branch-name> --state all --json number,title,state,url,statusCheckRollup,reviews,mergeable,isDraft,createdAt,updatedAt --limit 1

If the result is empty, also try a broader search:

gh pr list --state open --json number,title,headRefName,url --limit 50

and filter the output for the current branch name.

If no PR is found, record "No PR associated with this branch" and skip Step 5.

Step 5: PR Status Deep-Dive

If a PR was found in Step 4, gather detailed status:

CI checks:

gh pr checks <number> --json name,state,bucket,description,workflow

Report each check's name and pass/fail/pending status.

Reviews:

From the PR JSON's reviews field (already fetched in Step 4), report:

• How many approvals, changes-requested, and pending reviews.
• Who reviewed and their verdict.

If review data wasn't in the Step 4 response, fetch it:

gh pr view <number> --json reviews --jq '.reviews[] | "\(.author.login): \(.state)"'

Merge status:

Report the mergeable state (MERGEABLE, CONFLICTING, or UNKNOWN) and whether the PR is a draft.

Recent activity:

gh pr view <number> --json comments --jq '{ total: (.comments | length), recent: [.comments[-3:] | .[] | "\(.author.login) (\(.createdAt)): \(.body[0:150])"] }'

Report the total comment count. If there are recent comments (last 24 hours), display them.

Step 6: Synthesize & Present

Combine all findings into a structured report. Use this template:

## WIGO: <branch-name>

### Working Tree
- **Status**: Clean / Dirty
  - N files modified (unstaged)
  - M files staged
  - K untracked files
- **Stashes**: none / list them

### What We've Been Doing
<Narrative synthesized from session logs and git history — what was the goal,
what has been accomplished so far, what was the last thing worked on>

### Branch Progress
- **N commits** ahead of <default-branch>
- Recent commits:
  - `abc1234` — commit message
  - `def5678` — commit message
  - ...

### Pull Request
- **PR #N**: <title> (<state>)
  - URL: <url>
  - CI: all passing / N of M checks failing / pending
  - Reviews: N approvals / changes requested by @user / no reviews yet
  - Mergeable: yes / conflicting / unknown
  - Draft: yes / no
  - Comments: N total

### Suggested Next Steps

Contextual Suggestions

Analyze the combined state and offer specific, actionable suggestions. Choose from the following based on the situation:

• Clean tree + PR merged: "Branch work is complete. Consider deleting the branch (git branch -d <branch>) and switching to the default branch."
• Clean tree + PR open + CI green + approved: "PR is ready to merge. Want me to merge it?"
• Clean tree + PR open + CI failing: "CI is failing on these checks: [list]. Want me to investigate the failures?"
• Clean tree + PR open + changes requested: "Reviews request changes. Here's what reviewers said: [summary]. Want me to address the review feedback?"
• Clean tree + PR open + no reviews: "PR is open but has no reviews yet. Consider requesting a review, or wait for CI to complete."
• Clean tree + PR open + CI pending: "CI checks are still running. Wait for results, or investigate if they've been pending too long."
• Clean tree + no PR + commits ahead: "You have commits ready but no PR. Want me to create a pull request?"
• Dirty tree + PR open: "You have uncommitted changes. Want me to commit and push (/cp) to update the PR?"
• Dirty tree + no PR: "You have uncommitted work and no PR. Want me to commit (/cp) first, then create a PR?"
• On default branch + clean: "You're on the default branch with a clean tree. Ready to start something new — create a feature branch?"
• No commits ahead of default branch: "This branch has no new commits compared to the default branch. It may be a fresh branch or already merged."

Always present 2-3 of the most relevant suggestions as a numbered list, phrased as questions so the user can pick one.
