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

Show upcoming sprint items

If ~~chat is connected:

Tips

Run it every morning — Build a habit and never scramble for standup notes.
Add context — After I generate, add any nuance about blockers or priorities.
Share format — Ask me to format for Slack, email, or your team's standup tool.
