Update Pinned Summary

Update the pinned summary comment on a GitHub PR or issue. The summary always recalculates from individual session comments already posted on the PR/issue.

Workflow

Step 1: Detect PR/Issue Number

Auto-detect the PR from the current git branch:

gh pr list --head "$(git branch --show-current)" --json number --jq '.[0].number'

If no PR is found, ask the user for an issue number.

Step 2: Detect Repository

git remote get-url origin | sed 's/.*github.com[:/]\(.*\)\.git/\1/' | sed 's/.*github.com[:/]\(.*\)/\1/'

Step 3: Run the Summary Phase

Execute the summary phase of the analytics pipeline:

python3 .claude/scripts/session-analytics.py \
  --phase summary \
  --number <PR_OR_ISSUE_NUMBER> \
  --repo <OWNER/NAME>

This will:

1. Fetch all comments on the PR/issue
2. Identify session stat comments (by their marker format)
3. Aggregate metrics across all sessions (total tokens, costs, tool calls, duration)
4. Create or update the pinned summary comment at the top of the conversation

Step 4: Verify

Confirm the summary was updated:

gh pr view <NUMBER> --json comments --jq '[.comments[] | select(.body | contains("Session Summary"))] | length'

Parameters

Notes

• The summary comment is idempotent: running it multiple times updates the same comment
• It recalculates from scratch each time, so it always reflects the latest session data
• If no session comments exist on the PR/issue, the summary will indicate zero sessions
