My team and I used to share weekly changelogs manually:
backend, frontend, and design updates written into a team channel.
It was useful for keeping everyone aligned, but it took effort to
turn commit-level work into something product/design could follow. Since we were already experimenting with AI, we decided to automate it.
The result is *Briefly* – a lightweight CLI that: - Collects commits from your repo
- Summarizes them with OpenAI
- Outputs a clean `briefly-summary.md`
- Publishes directly to Discord via webhook The workflow is simple:
briefly setup
briefly generate
briefly publish It’s available on npm:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@jmscarpa/briefly Roadmap includes: aliases (`briefly g`), multilingual summaries,
relative dates (`--since 7d|1w|2m`), dry-run for CI, and custom prompts. We’ve been using it internally and it’s saving us ~30 minutes per week
while producing more consistent updates. Would love feedback from the community — especially around CI
integration ideas or formats beyond Discord. |
