Standup Generator

Standup Generator solves the problem everyone has with daily standups: they become rote recitations of activity logs rather than genuine team coordination. It transforms raw inputs — git commits, task notes, bullet points — into standups that actually communicate progress, intent, and blockers.

Input Sources

• The skill accepts and synthesizes from multiple inputs:
• Git log — `git log --since=yesterday --oneline` output transformed into meaningful summaries (not commit messages verbatim)
• Task list — completed, in-progress, and blocked items from your task manager
• Free-form notes — unstructured notes from the day
• Ticket IDs — looks up context from mentioned Jira/Linear/GitHub issue numbers if provided

Output Structure

The classic three-question format, written to be useful:

Yesterday: Groups related commits and tasks into coherent progress statements. "Fixed the payment webhook" rather than "Resolved bug #4521: NullPointerException in WebhookHandler.processEvent()"

Today: Derived from your stated intentions and logical next steps from yesterday's work. Specific enough to be accountable, not a task list.

Blockers: Explicitly separated and formatted to prompt action: who can unblock this, by when it needs resolution, and what the impact is of the block continuing.
