What it does
- Runs
claude-db catchupfrom the project root to collect the last chat, recorded to-dos, the last handoff note and git status. - Answers using only that output, in exactly three short groups: Done / Open / Next.
- Dates the information (e.g.
Last chat (Oct 6)) and marks anything uncertain with(guess)instead of asserting it. - Strictly read-only: it saves nothing and never runs repository-changing commands.
Who it's for
- Developers juggling several repos who lose context between sessions.
- Anyone tired of re-explaining "where I left off" at the start of every new chat.
- Teams that pass work along via handoff notes.
- Existing or prospective claude-db users.
Example uses
- Reopen a repo after a week off and ask "where did I stop?" — get a three-line Done/Open/Next brief.
- Start a fresh chat session and immediately see uncommitted work plus leftover to-dos.
- Surface a teammate's handoff
Nextline as the top priority for today.

Try it now, no install
Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Avijit07x/claude-db/HEAD/skills/catchup/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/catchup folder from the GitHub repo Avijit07x/claude-db into my ~/.claude/skills/catchup/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/Avijit07x/claude-db.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r claude-db/skills/catchup ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Install the claude-db CLI first and verify with
claude-db --help(this skill ships with claude-db). - Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/Avijit07x/claude-db.git - Copy the skill into place:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r claude-db/skills/catchup ~/.claude/skills/ - Confirm that
~/.claude/skills/catchup/SKILL.mdexists. - Restart Claude Code, go to a project root, and ask "where did I leave off?" to trigger it.
- If you see
Nothing recorded for this project yet., there is no history yet — record chats/handoffs with claude-db first.
