description: Summarize recent commits — by count, date, or time range subtask: true

Show what's new: $ARGUMENTS

Parse the argument to determine the commit range:

• A number (e.g., 10) → the N most recent commits: git log -<N>
• since <date> (e.g., since 2026-02-01) → commits after that date: git log --since='2026-02-01'
• today → git log --since='midnight'
• this week → git log --since='1 week ago'
• this month → git log --since='1 month ago'
• yesterday → git log --since='2 days ago' --until='midnight'
• last week → git log --since='2 weeks ago' --until='1 week ago'
• No argument → default to 10

Steps:

1. Target the main branch at origin. Always show what's new on the remote main branch, regardless of which branch is currently checked out. First, fetch the latest:

   git fetch origin main

   Then use origin/main as the ref for all subsequent git commands (instead of HEAD).

2. Fetch the commits. Run git log with the parsed range against origin/main:

   git log <range> origin/main --format='%h|%aN|%as|%s' --no-merges

   Also include merge commits separately if relevant:

   git log <range> origin/main --format='%h|%aN|%as|%s' --merges

3. Get the diff stats for scope:

   git diff --stat <oldest_commit>^..origin/main

4. Categorize each commit. You MUST load the commit-categories skill before categorizing. Use its path-pattern table to assign each commit to a category based on the files it touches.

5. Highlight notable changes. Scan commit messages and diffs for:

   • New compatibility flags (additions to compatibility-date.capnp)
   • New autogates (additions to autogate.h)
   • Breaking changes or behavioral changes
   • New APIs or features
   • Security fixes
   • Dependency updates
   • If current branch is not main:
     • Relevant changes to files touched by the current branch (if any)
     • Conflicts with the current branch (if any)

6. Output:

   ## What's New (<range description>)
   
   **<N> commits** by <M> authors | <files changed> files changed, <insertions> insertions, <deletions> deletions
   
   ### Highlights
   - <notable changes, if any>
   
   ### API
   - `<hash>` <summary> — <author>
   
   ### Node.js compat
   - `<hash>` <summary> — <author>
   
   ...additional categories as needed (omit empty categories)...

   Keep summaries to one line per commit. Group related commits (e.g., a feature + its fixup) into a single entry where obvious.
