AI Standup

Generates standup notes and status updates from actual git commits and PRs — never reconstructed from memory. Trigger for 'write my standup', 'what did I do today', 'what did I ship this week', 'status update', 'handoff notes', 'end of day summary'. Not for pitch or blog content; use /ai-prose instead. Not for sprint retrospectives; use /ai-sprint instead.

File contents

Standup

Generate copy-paste-ready standup notes from actual PR + commit activity grouped by status, emitted as markdown to stdout for Slack/Teams/standup tools with one link per item. For sprint-level summaries use /ai-sprint retro; for incident timelines use /ai-postmortem.

/ai-standup                   # today's standup (1 working day)
/ai-standup --days 3          # last 3 days (covers a long weekend)
/ai-standup --author @alice   # standup for a specific team member

Pre-conditions (MANDATORY)

Read manifest.yml work_items section.
Read .ai-engineering/reference/gather-activity-data.md for canonical git log, PR query, and work-item commands.
Use the active provider to gather work-item data; include status when available.

Workflow

Principles: §10.4 DRY (single gather-activity-data.md source for all activity queries).

Determine lookback — default 1 working day; override --days N; skip weekends unless --days covers them.
Collect activity via gather-activity-data.md commands: (a) local commits (git log, author filter); (b) PRs (provider query); (c) active spec tasks from .ai-engineering/specs/spec.md + plan.md.
Classify into three groups:

Group Criteria

Shipped Merged PRs, completed spec tasks

In Progress Open PRs, branches with recent commits, active spec tasks

Blocked PRs with review pending 24h+, tasks marked blocked
Resolve author — if --author absent, detect from git config user.name or gh api user.
Format — markdown to stdout, one link per item:

Group	Criteria
Shipped	Merged PRs, completed spec tasks
In Progress	Open PRs, branches with recent commits, active spec tasks
Blocked	PRs with review pending 24h+, tasks marked blocked

## Standup — YYYY-MM-DD
