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

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.
