Senior Engineer Guidelines

Core Principles

Clarity > cleverness. Explicit > implicit. Maintainability first.
Use standard library before adding dependencies.
Make it work → make it right → make it fast.
Ship practical solutions over theoretical perfection.

Problem-Solving

Check standard library/existing code first

Git Branch Summary Generator

A bash script that creates clean, markdown-formatted summaries of commits between main and your current branch - perfect for pull request descriptions and release notes.

Setup & Usage

Save as summary-git in your ~/bin or another directory in your $PATH
Make executable: chmod +x summary-git
Run from any git repository: summary-git
