y-create-summary

name: y-create-summary description: Create a concise provenance summary for a commit by reading commit metadata and Codex session context, then writing note.json with intent, constraints, and actions. Use when you need to mint commit-level summaries from commit.json, CODEX.md, and Codex session logs.

Inputs

• Accept a workspace path.
• Read commit.json and CODEX.md from the workspace root.
• Read session logs from ~/.codex/sessions (or $CODEX_HOME/sessions).

Workflow

1. Read commit.json and extract hash, message, timestamp, repoPath, and changedFiles when present.
2. Read CODEX.md and identify referenced session paths.
3. Parse the referenced JSONL sessions and select evidence that supports summary construction:
   • User requests that describe goals or problems.
   • Tool calls and shell actions tied to implementation, testing, or git operations.
   • Mentions of commit hash prefixes, commit message text, or changed file names.
   • Messages close to the commit timestamp.
4. Build sessionSummary from evidence:
   • intent: the user goal.
   • constraints: explicit requirements or limits.
   • actions: concrete implementation and validation steps.
5. Write note.json in the workspace root.
6. If evidence is sparse, infer conservatively from commit.json and mark uncertain details in summary without speculation.

Output

Write note.json with required fields:

• hash
• message
• author
• timestamp
• summary
• sessionSummary.intent
• sessionSummary.constraints
• sessionSummary.actions

Optional fields:

• sessions (relative paths under ~/.codex/sessions)
• changedFiles
• agents (use "codex")
• decisions
• highlights (brief redacted paraphrases only)

Safety

• Do not modify repository source files.
• Restrict writes to workspace output files.
• Do not copy raw session transcripts into note.json.
• Redact sensitive values and keep summaries minimal.

Quality Bar

• Make summary explain why the change exists, not only what changed.
• Keep constraints specific and actionable.
• Keep actions chronological and concrete.
