I want to know what changed in this repo last week
A readable weekly summary of commits, grouped by theme — a quick task, no full Algorithm needed.
A readable weekly summary of everything that landed in the repo, grouped by theme — the kind of task NATIVE mode handles without firing up the whole Algorithm.
The prompt
What the Algorithm does
Not every outcome needs the seven-phase Algorithm. A bounded single-step task like "read git log and summarize" lives in NATIVE mode: one classification, one execution, one verification. DOS only escalates to ALGORITHM when the work crosses multiple files, multiple decisions, or multiple packs.
What you get back
A short grouped summary: themes as headings, commit counts, a one-line description of each theme, and the notable authors behind each group. No PRD, no phases, no overhead. If the question grew — "now turn this into a changelog and publish it" — DOS would reclassify and upgrade to ALGORITHM mode on the next turn.
Variations
- Same summary but for the last 30 days
- Group by author instead of theme
- Only show commits touching the billing subsystem
- Turn this into a CHANGELOG.md entry
