## What it does

This skill writes `.groove/memory/git/YYYY-MM-DD-GIT-N.md` for the current session. The file number advances for that date, and the report records commits made since midnight, the current short status, and a summary of changed files.

It gathers the details with `git log --since=midnight --oneline`, `git status --short`, and `git diff --stat HEAD`. The document layout comes from `skills/groove-utilities-memory-log-git/templates/git.md`. A report is still written when the repository has had no Git changes since midnight.

Existing files in `.groove/memory/git/` must be listed before writing. Otherwise the next `N` can collide with a report already created for the same date. The skill is available for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode.

# groove-utilities-memory-log-git

## Outcome

`.groove/memory/git/YYYY-MM-DD-GIT-N.md` is created with a git summary for the current session. N is auto-incremented based on existing files for that date.

## Acceptance Criteria

- File created at `.groove/memory/git/YYYY-MM-DD-GIT-N.md` with correct N
- Content includes commits since midnight, git status, and diff stats
- N does not collide with existing files for the same date
- File is suitable for inclusion in the same commit it describes

## Constraints

- Memory path is always `.groove/memory/`
- Always list existing files in `.groove/memory/git/` before writing to determine correct N
- N starts at 1 for the first file of the day, increments for subsequent
- Git data to include:
  - `git log --since=midnight --oneline` for commits
  - `git status --short` for current state
  - `git diff --stat HEAD` for changed files summary
- Use template at `skills/groove-utilities-memory-log-git/templates/git.md` for file structure
- If no git changes since midnight, still write the file noting no changes
```
