What is an autonomy branch?

An autonomy branch is a Git branch following the autonomy/ prefix naming convention, specifically used for journaled, iterative development tasks managed by AI agents.

What metrics can this skill track?

It can track any quantitative data included in the 'Metrics' section of your journal commits, such as build times, test coverage, or business-specific KPIs.

Will this skill modify my code or checkout branches?

No, this is a read-only operation. It uses git log commands to analyze commit metadata and does not perform checkouts or file modifications.

Does this skill work on standard Git branches?

No, this skill is specifically designed for autonomy/* branches that use the 'journal: ' commit message format to track iterations and metrics.

Why does it use a Python script for analysis?

To ensure precision and avoid manual errors, a sub-agent generates and executes a Python script to parse data and calculate trends rather than simply 'eyeballing' the text.

Analytics & Monitoring

Generates comprehensive status reports for autonomy branches by computationally analyzing journal commits and metrics progression.

About

The Analyzing Branch Status skill automates the auditing of specialized autonomy branches within Claude Code, providing a high-fidelity overview of project evolution. Instead of manual commit reviews, it dispatches a specialized branch-analyzer agent to parse git logs, reconstruct iteration timelines, and track quantitative metrics via Python-based analysis. This is essential for developers managing long-running autonomous tasks who need to visualize status evolution, blocker history, and current recommendations without switching contexts or checking out branches manually.
