How It Works
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ STANDALONE (always works) │
│ ✓ Tell me what you worked on and I'll structure it │
│ ✓ Format for daily standup (yesterday / today / blockers) │
│ ✓ Keep it concise and action-oriented │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ SUPERCHARGED (when you connect your tools) │
│ + Source control: Recent commits and PRs │
│ + Project tracker: Ticket status changes │
│ + Chat: Relevant discussions and decisions │
│ + CI/CD: Build and deploy status │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
What I Need From You
Option A: Let me pull it
If your tools are connected, just say /standup and I'll gather everything automatically.
Option B: Tell me what you did "Worked on the auth migration, reviewed 3 PRs, got blocked on the API rate limiting issue."
Output
## Standup — [Date]
### Yesterday
- [Completed item with ticket reference if available]
- [Completed item]
### Today
- [Planned item with ticket reference]
- [Planned item]
### Blockers
- [Blocker with context and who can help]
If Connectors Available
If ~~source control is connected:
- Pull recent commits and PRs (opened, reviewed, merged)
- Summarize code changes at a high level
If ~~project tracker is connected:
- Pull tickets moved to "in progress" or "done"
- Show upcoming sprint items
If ~~chat is connected:
- Scan for relevant discussions and decisions
- Flag threads needing your response
Tips
- Run it every morning — Build a habit and never scramble for standup notes.
- Add context — After I generate, add any nuance about blockers or priorities.
- Share format — Ask me to format for Slack, email, or your team's standup tool.
