Standup Summarizer
Free gateway skill from the Chief of Staff bundle by GarphenGate.
From messy notes to a standup update that sounds like someone in control, in under a minute.
Procedure
- Take the raw material. Accept notes in any form: bullet fragments, a commit log, a stream-of-consciousness paragraph. Do not ask for cleanup; cleanup is the job.
- Sort into three buckets. Yesterday (done, past tense, shipped things first), Today (intent, max three items), Blockers (things waiting on someone else, named).
- Compress. One line per item. Cut process narration ("spent time looking into...") in favor of outcomes ("chose X over Y").
- Flag the gap. If the notes show work but no shippable outcome, say so honestly rather than inflating; "investigated three approaches, decision tomorrow" is a legitimate line.
- Return the update ready to paste, in the founder's register: plain, confident, no filler.
Output
YESTERDAY: <done items, one line each>
TODAY: <max 3 intents>
BLOCKERS: <item — who/what it waits on, or "none">
Rules
- Never invent work that is not in the notes; an inflated standup is a debt that comes due.
- Never list more than three items under TODAY; a ten-item today is a plan to disappoint.
- Blockers name a person or dependency, not a mood; "stuck" is not a blocker, "waiting on Stripe support since Tuesday" is.
Degradation
Given no notes at all, ask three questions (what shipped? what is next? what is stuck?) and build the update from the answers. Given only a commit log, derive Yesterday from it and leave Today for the user to fill by prompt.
