Daily Report

daily-report

Standard report format for Pylot crew teams. Used in morning rollcall dispatch jobs and any standup/status reporting task.

When to Use

• You have been dispatched with a rollcall or standup task
• Your task says "write today's team report per /daily-report"
• Any task asking for a team status report

Standard Sections

Section 0: Production Health (MANDATORY — P0/P1 verification required)

One line per repo. Must appear FIRST — production issues are never buried below issues or PRs.

Format:

- org/repo — 🟢 green: up, no incidents
- org/repo — 🔴 red: 500 errors on /api/products (issue #84, since 2026-04-11) [verified: curl → 503]
- org/repo — 🟡 yellow: degraded response times, investigating
- org/repo — ⚠️ UNVERIFIED: repo#84 claims 500 — production returns 200, likely false positive

If no active incidents: All repos: 🟢 green

P0/P1 Verification Protocol

Any issue claiming P0/P1 severity OR containing keywords 500, down, broken, production in the title or body MUST be verified before being promoted to the briefing. Unverified P0s waste Max's desk time — they are more harmful than missing a real incident.

Decision tree:

Issue claims P0/P1 or has keywords (500, down, broken, production)?
├── YES → Extract production URL from body (https:// that is NOT a GitHub URL)
│   ├── URL found → run liveness check:
│   │   STATUS=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" --max-time 10 "$PROD_URL")
│   │   ├── 5xx or timeout → CONFIRMED outage
│   │   │   → 🔴 P0: org/repo — [title] (issue #N, since DATE) [verified: curl → $STATUS]
│   │   └── 200 → UNVERIFIED — production is up, claim is questionable
│   │       → ⚠️ UNVERIFIED: org/repo#N claims [keyword] — production returns 200, likely false positive
│   └── No production URL → check issue body for evidence:
│       ├── Has evidence (curl output, screenshot, error log, Sentry/Bugsnag link)
│       │   → 🟡 NEEDS REVIEW: org/repo#N — [title] — has evidence, cannot auto-verify
│       └── No evidence → comment on the issue asking for evidence (see template below)
│           → ⚠️ UNVERIFIED: org/repo#N claims [keyword] — no production URL or evidence; asked filer
└── NO → Standard reporting, no verification needed

Output formats by scenario:

Ask-filer comment template (post when no URL and no evidence found):

gh issue comment $ISSUE_NUMBER --repo $ORG/$REPO --body "Promoting this to P0 in rollcall requires production evidence.
Please add one of:
- curl output showing the error: \`curl -I https://your-production-url.com\`
- Screenshot or error log from production
- Sentry/Bugsnag link

Without evidence, this will appear as ⚠️ UNVERIFIED in the morning briefing."

Section 1: Open Issues

For each repo, list all open issues. Verify each is actually open — do NOT parrot stale data.

Format per issue:

- #N [Title](https://github.com/org/repo/issues/N) — labels: priority-high, bug

If 0 open issues: state it explicitly.

Section 2: PRs Waiting

Split feature PRs from dep PRs — never mix them in the same list.

Feature PRs:

- #N [Title](https://github.com/org/repo/pull/N) — status: review | 3d / 2026-04-10
- #N [Title](https://github.com/org/repo/pull/N) — status: draft | 15d / 2026-03-26 [STALE]

Dep PRs (one line each with risk label):

- #N [bump lodash 4→5](https://github.com/org/repo/pull/N) — CRIT | 2d / 2026-04-11
- #N [bump eslint 8→9](https://github.com/org/repo/pull/N) — LOW | 5d / 2026-04-08

Risk labels:

• CRIT — security CVE, known breakage, or major version with documented breaking changes
• HIGH — major version bump with possible API breaks
• MED — minor version with notable changes
• LOW — patch update, routine

PR count headline: N open (X actionable, Y stale drafts) — never a bare count.

Repos with no CI configured: note it once as a section footer, not per-PR.

Section 3: Latest Updates

Named merges with PR number and merge date. A bare count ("8 PRs merged") is useless.

Format:

- PR #N [Title](url) — merged 2026-04-10
- PR #N [Title](url) — merged 2026-04-09

If nothing merged in 7 days: state it and note the last merge date.

Section 4: Suggested Next Tasks

2-3 concrete actions. Each must have:

• Exact slash command where applicable: /review-pr 47 CLAPES-UC/ipc-med-backend ipcmed-runner
• Sequencing note when order matters: "do this BEFORE merging deps — lockfile conflict risk"
• Reasoning tied to team Direction goals
• Risk callout for dangerous deps: "do NOT merge Next.js 16 without testing locally"

Quality Rules

• Every issue/PR MUST include a full clickable URL (https://github.com/org/repo/issues/N or /pull/N)
• Ages include absolute dates alongside relative: 3d / 2026-04-10 — not just 3d
• "Quiet" is not a report — if nothing happened, say what SHOULD happen next from the backlog
• Verify data freshness before reporting — call gh issue list and gh pr list, don't guess
• Closed issues are NOT open — verify with gh issue view N --repo org/repo --json state
• P0/P1 production claims MUST be verified with curl before promoting to briefing — see the P0/P1 Verification Protocol in Section 0. An unverified P0 in the briefing wastes more time than a missed real incident.

Minimal Format for Idle Teams

Teams with 0 open issues AND 0 feature PRs get a 10-line status card instead of the full format:

## {team} — IDLE
Prod: 🟢 green | Issues: 0 | Feature PRs: 0 | Dep PRs: N
Last merge: YYYY-MM-DD / PR #N [Title](url)
Next: {suggested action — e.g., "process dep PRs on weekend, watch for Next.js 16 breaking changes"}

Do NOT produce a full section-by-section breakdown for idle teams — it adds noise without signal.

Report Location

All reports go to $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/reports/. NEVER inside crew/*/reports/ or any subdirectory.

Writing the Report File

Once you have drafted all sections above, use /write-report to write the file:

/write-report --group rollcall --id {your-team-name} --type rollcall

This ensures:

• Correct path (reports/ from repo root, never crew/*/)
• Correct timestamped filename per CONVENTIONS.md
• Automatic Quest DB posting
• Consistent naming across all teams

Do NOT write the file manually using the Write tool — always use /write-report.
