standup

The standup skill helps users quickly generate structured daily standup updates from either manually provided notes or connected workplace tools. It is designed to reduce the time and effort required to prepare concise progress updates for daily team meetings. Instead of manually organizing scattered work details, users can provide a short summary of recent activity or simply invoke the skill when integrations are available. The skill then formats the information into a clear standup structure with sections for yesterday’s work, today’s priorities, and blockers. This helps teams maintain consistent communication and ensures updates remain focused and actionable.

The skill supports both standalone and connector-enhanced workflows. In standalone mode, users can describe what they worked on in natural language, and the skill organizes the content into a professional standup format. When external tools are connected, the skill can gather recent commits, pull requests, ticket status changes, chat discussions, and CI/CD updates to automatically generate a broader activity summary. It can summarize development progress at a high level, highlight relevant discussions, and identify blockers or pending responses. The output is optimized for daily standups and can also be reformatted for sharing in Slack, email, or other team communication tools.

This skill is useful for software developers, engineering managers, project teams, and cross-functional collaborators who participate in recurring standup meetings. It is especially valuable for distributed teams that rely on asynchronous communication and connected development tools. Teams using source control systems, project trackers, chat platforms, or deployment pipelines can use the skill to centralize daily progress reporting and improve visibility into ongoing work.
