project-context-sync

Keep a living project state document updated after each commit, so any agent (or future session) can instantly understand where things stand.

What It Does

┌─────────────┐     ┌──────────────────┐     ┌─────────────────────┐
│ Git Commit  │ ──▶ │ Post-commit Hook │ ──▶ │ PROJECT_STATE.md    │
│             │     │                  │     │ (auto-updated)      │
└─────────────┘     └──────────────────┘     └─────────────────────┘

After each commit, the hook: 1. Gathers git info (last commit, recent history, branch, changed files) 2. Optionally calls an LLM to generate a smart summary 3. Updates PROJECT_STATE.md in the repo root

Installation

# From the repo you want to enable:
cd /path/to/your/repo
/path/to/skills/project-context-sync/scripts/install.sh

Or if you have the skill in your path: bash project-context-sync install

This will: 1. Install a post-commit hook in .git/hooks/ 2. Create .project-context.yml with default config 3. Create initial PROJECT_STATE.md 4. Add PROJECT_STATE.md to .gitignore

Uninstall

cd /path/to/your/repo
/path/to/skills/project-context-sync/scripts/uninstall.sh

Manual Update

Trigger an update without committing:

cd /path/to/your/repo
/path/to/skills/project-context-sync/scripts/update-context.sh

Configuration

Edit .project-context.yml in your repo root:

project_context:
  # Use AI to generate smart summaries (default: true)
  ai_summary: true

  # How many recent commits to include
  recent_commits: 5

  # Include diff stats in context
  include_diff_stats: true

  # Sections to include
  sections:
    - last_commit
    - recent_changes
    - current_focus    # AI-generated
    - suggested_next   # AI-generated

AI Summary Mode

With ai_summary: true (default): - Generates intelligent summaries of what changed - Infers current focus from recent commit patterns - Suggests next steps - Costs tokens but provides rich context - Requires: Gateway HTTP API enabled (see below)

With ai_summary: false: - Just logs raw git info - Fast and free - Less intelligent but still useful

Enabling the Gateway HTTP API

AI mode uses Clawdbot's OpenAI-compatible endpoint (/v1/chat/completions). This is disabled by default for security. To enable:

// ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json
{
  "gateway": {
    "http": {
      "endpoints": {
        "chatCompletions": { "enabled": true }
      }
    }
  }
}

Security notes: - The endpoint inherits gateway auth (requires bearer token) - With bind: "loopback" (default), only local processes can connect - The script reads the token from ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json automatically - Risk is minimal for local development setups

Output

PROJECT_STATE.md will contain:

# Project State
*Auto-updated by project-context-sync*

## Last Commit
- **Hash:** abc123

## Current Focus
[AI-generated summary of what's being worked on]

## Suggested Next Steps
[AI-suggested based on commit patterns]

Notes

PROJECT_STATE.md is gitignored by default (regenerated locally)
The hook requires Clawdbot to be running for AI summaries
Without Clawdbot, falls back to raw git info mode
