Does this skill require the GitHub CLI?

Yes, it utilizes the 'gh' CLI tool to securely fetch commit and pull request data directly from your configured GitHub account.

Is the output format customizable?

The skill provides two length options: a brief 1-2 sentence summary or a more detailed single paragraph, both formatted for professional team communication.

How does the skill handle different timezones?

It uses your local system's timezone offset to format ISO 8601 queries, ensuring GitHub activity accurately reflects your actual working hours regardless of where you are located.

Can it summarize work from multiple repositories?

Yes. When you provide a GitHub organization name, the skill searches across all repositories within that organization for your contributions.

How do I share the generated summary?

Once generated, the skill automatically copies the final text to your system clipboard so you can immediately paste it into Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Jira.
