work-summarizer

work-summarizer is a TypeScript CLI that turns local Git history into polished work summaries. Just oint it at any repo, choose a time window, and get a structured, AI-generated report — categorised by feature, fix, refactor, test, chore, and more.

What It Does

• Scans commits for a configurable window (24h, 2d, 1w, …) and generates a stand-up-ready summary with Gemini
• Filters noise — lock files, binaries, build output, and configurable excludes
• Enriches reports with Linear issue metadata when commit messages reference tickets
• Detects commits that need documentation follow-up and produces a reviewable task list
• Triggers, polls, and summarises Mintlify documentation deployments
• Exports Markdown and styled HTML reports; supports scheduled daily runs
• Launches a local web UI for reports, run controls, config, and Mintlify management

Quick Start

npm install -g work-summarizer
work-summary config init          # set your Gemini API key
work-summary doctor               # verify setup
work-summary run --since 24h --no-edit
work-summary ui                   # open the web UI at http://localhost:7331
