standup
Generate a standup update from recent activity. Use when preparing for daily standup, summarizing yesterday's commits and PRs and ticket moves, formatting work into yesterday/today/blockers, or structuring a few rough notes into a shareable update.
Why this skill is useful
Integrates with multiple tools to pull recent activity and formats it into a structured standup update, which the AI wouldn't generate reliably on its own.

What this skill does
/standup If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md. Generate a standup update by pulling together recent activity across your tools. How It Works 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 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 1. Run it every morning — Build a habit and never scramble for standup notes. 2. Add context — After I generate, add any nuance about blockers or priorities. 3. Share format — Ask me to format for Slack, email, or your team's standup tool.
