What Catchup by oliver-kriska is

Catchup by oliver-kriska is a plugin published in the oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix repository on GitHub, which has about 556 stars. The repository describes itself as: “Claude Code plugin for Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView — 26 specialist agents, Iron Laws enforcement, and Tidewave MCP integration. Plan features with parallel research agents, execute with automatic verification, review with 4-agent parallel audits, and capture learnings as reusable knowledge.”

A plugin is a package that bundles skills, slash commands, subagents, hooks, and MCP connectors so they install together. Plugins are plain files with a manifest at .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and they work in both Claude Code and Claude Cowork.

Installing Catchup adds everything it ships in one step. Connectors inside a plugin still need to be connected separately, and hooks and subagents only run in Cowork and Claude Code, not in regular chat.

Async-team return-from-absence briefing for Claude Code.

Coming back Monday morning, after a flight, or after a long weekend costs 30–60 minutes of manually scanning PRs, reviews, Linear tickets, git history, and calendar before the first line of code. /catchup fans out to those sources and emits one prioritized brief — not a firehose of links.

Framework-agnostic: any developer on a distributed team has this problem, regardless of stack.

Install

/plugin marketplace add oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix
/plugin install catchup@oliver-kriska

Usage

/catchup                                  # since you were last active here
/catchup --since "friday"
/catchup --since "2h" --focus reviews-requested
/catchup --sources github,git --depth quick
/catchup --scope all                      # include cross-repo pings/reviews

Scope. Default is repo-scoped: every GitHub signal (reviews requested of you, notifications, mentions) is filtered to the repo you run /catchup in — a per-repo catch-up does not surface another repo's queue. --scope all re-includes cross-repo activity, listed in its own Other repos section, never mixed into this repo's lists.

Sources (MVP)

Missing sources degrade the brief, never break it. git log alone produces a valid minimum brief.

Output

The full brief is written to .claude/catchup/brief-YYYY-MM-DD.md and a tight summary is printed inline. Format follows the 10-element Context Brief Framework scoped to a personal catch-up brief: Intent + ranked priorities, what moved, conflict risks, today's timeline.

Privacy

Excerpt-only by default. No raw issue/PR/thread bodies in the brief. Slack and Gmail are v2, opt-in, and double-gated. See skills/catchup/references/config-schema.md for the (designed, not yet built) v2 surface: scheduling, per-project config, cross-project rollup.

Status

MVP. Tracks issue #47.

Before you install

  • Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
  • Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
  • Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
  • Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
  • Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
