Deadline Prep

Generate a structured demo outline from your work session. Combines the change log CSV (from the change-logger hook) with git history to create presentation-ready talking points.

Workflow

Step 1: Gather data sources

Change log (primary source if available):

• Read .claude/critical_log_changes.csv if it exists
• Parse columns: timestamp, tool, file_path, action, details
• Group by: files created, files modified, commands executed

Git history (always available):

git log --oneline --since="today 00:00"
git diff --stat HEAD~10 2>/dev/null || git diff --stat

If the CSV doesn't exist, fall back to git-only mode and note this in the output.

Step 2: Analyze and categorize changes

Group all changes into categories:

Category	Signals
Features shipped	New files, new routes, new components, feat commits
Bug fixes	Modified files with fix commits, error handling changes
Refactors	Renamed files, structural changes, refactor commits
Config/Setup	package.json, tsconfig, CI/CD, Docker changes
Tests	Test files created or modified
Documentation	README, docs, comments

Step 3: Generate the demo outline

Create a structured markdown document:

# Demo Outline — [Date]

## What I Shipped
- **[Feature/Fix name]**: One sentence explaining what it does and why it matters
- **[Feature/Fix name]**: One sentence explaining what it does and why it matters
- **[Feature/Fix name]**: One sentence explaining what it does and why it matters

## Architecture Decisions
- **[Decision]**: Why I chose this approach over alternatives
- **[Decision]**: Tradeoff I made and the reasoning

## What I Would Do Next
1. **[Priority 1]**: Why this is the most important next step
2. **[Priority 2]**: What this would unlock
3. **[Priority 3]**: Nice-to-have improvement

## Session Metrics
- Files changed: X
- Lines: +Y / -Z
- Commits: N
- Key files: `path/to/important/file.ts`, `path/to/other.ts`
- Time window: HH:MM - HH:MM

Step 4: Save and present

Save the outline to .claude/demo-outline.md.

Print the full outline to the terminal so the user can review it immediately.

Tips

• Run this 30 minutes before your deadline to have time to review and add personal context
• The "Architecture Decisions" section is what reviewers care about most — add context about tradeoffs
• "What I Would Do Next" shows you think beyond the immediate task
• Edit the generated outline to add your own voice and any context the log missed
• Works best with the change-logger hook installed, but functions with git history alone
