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.
Async Formats
- Slack-formatted — with emoji, bold, and bullet points suited for Slack rendering
- Plain text — for email or simple messaging
- Thread format — for Slack threads with replies
- Weekly summary — aggregated from 5 daily standups into a weekly digest
Use Cases
- Generating daily async standup messages for distributed teams
- Summarizing yesterday's git commits into a human-readable progress update
- Creating weekly status updates from a week's worth of daily notes
- Writing standup messages that actually surface blockers and risks
