Standup

Standup

Purpose

Generate standup notes from actual PR and commit activity. Produces concise, copy-paste-ready summaries grouped by status. Eliminates manual standup preparation.

Trigger

• Command: /ai-standup
• Context: preparing for daily standup, team sync, or async status update.

When to Use

• Before daily standup meetings
• Async status updates for Slack/Teams channels
• End-of-day summaries
• Handoff notes between sessions

When NOT to Use

• Sprint-level summaries -- use /ai-sprint retro
• Incident timelines -- use /ai-postmortem

Pre-conditions (MANDATORY)

1. Read .ai-engineering/manifest.yml — work_items section.
2. Use the active provider to gather work item data:
   • GitHub: gh issue list --label <team_label> --state all --json ...
   • Azure DevOps: az boards query --wiql "..." filtered by area_path and current iteration
3. Include work item status in standup notes when available.

Procedure

1. Determine lookback -- default: 1 working day. Override with --days N. Skip weekends unless --days explicitly covers them.

2. Collect activity -- scan the following sources: a. git log --since="N days ago" --author="<name>" -- local commits b. gh pr list --author="<name>" --state=all --json title,url,state,updatedAt -- PRs c. Active spec tasks from .ai-engineering/specs/spec.md and specs/plan.md -- current work

3. Classify items 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 requests pending 24h+, tasks marked blocked

4. Format output -- markdown to stdout:

## Standup — YYYY-MM-DD

### Shipped
- Merged PR #123: Add secret scanning to commit hook [link]
- spec-054: Task 2.1 -- hook installation complete

### In Progress
- PR #125: Telemetry event schema (awaiting review) [link]
- spec-054: Task 3.2 -- guard event integration

### Blocked
- PR #120: Dependency update blocked on upstream release

5. Author resolution -- if --author not specified, detect from git config user.name or gh api user.
