Phase 1: Detect & Offer Integrations

Step 1: Silent Detection

Check for available integrations silently (suppress errors, don't show to user):

Step 2: Offer GitHub/Jira Integrations (if available)

Claude Code users: Use AskUserQuestionTool tool for all questions in this phase.

GitHub/Git:

If HAS_GH or HAS_GIT:

"I detected you have GitHub/Git configured. Want me to pull your recent activity (commits, PRs, reviews)?"

Options:
- "Yes, pull the info"
- "No, I'll provide everything manually"

If yes:

"Which repositories/projects should I check?"

Options:
- "Just the current directory" (if in a git repo)
- "I'll list the repos" → user provides list

Jira:

If HAS_JIRA_CLI or HAS_ATLASSIAN_MCP:

"I detected you have Jira configured. Want me to pull your tickets?"

Options:
- "Yes, pull my tickets"
- "No, I'll provide everything manually"

Step 3: Pull GitHub/Jira Data (if approved)

GitHub/Git — For each approved repo:

• Commits by user since yesterday
• PRs opened/merged by user
• Reviews done by user

Jira — Tickets assigned to user, updated in last 24h

Key insight: Store results to use as context in Phase 2 interview.

Step 4: Offer Claude Code History

This integration captures everything you worked on with Claude Code — useful for recalling work that isn't in git or Jira.

Detection:

ls ~/.claude/projects/*/*.jsonl 2>/dev/null | head -1

If Claude Code history exists, ask:

"I can also pull your Claude Code session history from yesterday. This can help recall work that isn't in git/Jira (research, debugging, planning). Want me to check?"

Options:
- "Yes, pull my Claude Code sessions"
- "No, I have everything I need"

If yes, run the digest script:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/daily-meeting-update/scripts/claude_digest.py --format json

Then present sessions with multiSelect:

Use AskUserQuestionTool with multiSelect: true to let user pick relevant items:

"Here are your Claude Code sessions from yesterday. Select the ones relevant to your standup:"

Options (multiSelect):
- "Fix authentication bug (backend-api)"
- "Implement OAuth flow (backend-api)"
- "Update homepage styles (frontend-app)"
- "Research payment providers (docs)"

Key insight: User selects which sessions are work-related. Personal projects or experiments can be excluded.

Do NOT run digest script when:

• User explicitly says "No" to Claude Code history
• User says they'll provide everything manually
• ~/.claude/projects directory doesn't exist

If digest script fails:

• Fallback: Skip Claude Code integration silently, proceed with interview
• Common issues: Python not installed, no sessions from yesterday, permission errors
• Do NOT block the standup flow — the script is supplemental, not required

Phase 2: Interview (with insights)

Claude Code users: Use AskUserQuestionTool tool to conduct the interview. This provides a better UX with structured options.

Use pulled data as context to make questions smarter.

Question 1: Yesterday

If data was pulled, show it first:

"Here's what I found from your activity:
- Merged PR #123: fix login timeout
- 3 commits in backend-api
- Reviewed PR #456 (approved)

Anything else you worked on yesterday that I missed?"

If no data pulled:

"What did you work on yesterday/since the last standup?"

If user response is vague, ask follow-up:

• "Can you give more details about X?"
• "Did you complete anything specific?"

Question 2: Today

"What will you work on today?"

Options:
- [Text input - user types freely]

If Jira data was pulled, you can suggest:

"I see you have these tickets assigned:
- PROJ-123: Implement OAuth flow (In Progress)
- PROJ-456: Fix payment bug (To Do)

Will you work on any of these today?"

Question 3: Blockers

"Do you have any blockers or impediments?"

Options:
- "No blockers"
- "Yes, I have blockers" → follow-up for details

Question 4: Topics for Discussion

"Any topic you want to bring up at the end of the daily?"

Options:
- "No, nothing to discuss"
- "Yes" → follow-up for details

Examples of topics:
- Technical decision that needs input
- Alignment with another team
- Question about prioritization
- Announcement or info for the team

Phase 3: Generate Update

Combine all information into clean Markdown:

# Daily Update - [DATE]

## Yesterday
- [Items from interview]
- [Items from GitHub/Jira if pulled]

## Today
- [Items from interview]

## Blockers
- [Blockers or "No blockers"]

## PRs & Reviews (if pulled from GitHub)
- [PRs opened]
- [PRs merged]
- [Reviews done]

## Jira (if pulled from Jira)
- [Tickets updated]

## Topics for Discussion
- [Topics or "None"]

- [PR links]
- [Ticket links]

Core Principles

1. Interview is primary — Tools supplement, they don't replace human context
2. Consent before access — Always ask before pulling from any integration
3. Context-aware questions — Show pulled data during interview to trigger memory ("I see you merged PR #123...")

Quick Reference

*Claude Code only: Use AskUserQuestionTool tool for structured questions.

Claude Code Digest Script

# Get yesterday's sessions as JSON
python3 ~/.claude/skills/daily-meeting-update/scripts/claude_digest.py --format json

# Get today's sessions
python3 ~/.claude/skills/daily-meeting-update/scripts/claude_digest.py --date today --format json

# Filter to specific project
python3 ~/.claude/skills/daily-meeting-update/scripts/claude_digest.py --project ~/my-app --format json

Example Session

Claude: "Let's prepare your daily! I detected GitHub configured. Want me to pull your recent activity?"
User: "Yes"

Claude: "Which repos should I check?"
User: "backend-api and frontend-app"

[Claude pulls GitHub data silently]

Claude: "I can also pull your Claude Code session history from yesterday. Want me to check?"
User: "Yes"

[Claude runs digest script, gets 5 sessions]

Claude: "Here are your Claude Code sessions from yesterday. Select the ones relevant to your standup:"
  ☑ Fix authentication timeout bug (backend-api)
  ☑ Implement OAuth flow (backend-api)
  ☐ Update personal blog (blog) - [user unchecks personal project]
  ☑ Research payment providers (docs)
  ☐ Debugging test failures (experiments)

User: [selects 3 relevant items]

Claude: "Here's what I found from your activity:
- Merged PR #120: fix login timeout
- Opened PR #125: feat: add OAuth flow
- Reviewed PR #123 (approved), PR #456 (changes requested)
- 5 commits in backend-api
- [From Claude Code] Fix authentication timeout bug
- [From Claude Code] Implement OAuth flow
- [From Claude Code] Research payment providers

Anything else you worked on yesterday that I missed?"
User: "No, that covers it"

Claude: "What will you work on today?"
User: "Continue the OAuth feature and deploy to staging"

Claude: "Any blockers?"
User: "No"

Claude: "Any topic to bring up at the end of the daily?"
User: "Yes, I want to discuss the architecture of the new payments module"

[Claude generates update]

Anti-Patterns

NEVER

• NEVER assume tools are configured — Many devs have gh installed but not authenticated, or jira CLI pointing to wrong instance
• NEVER skip the "Topics for Discussion" question — This is often the most valuable part of standup that tools can't capture
• NEVER generate more than 15 bullets — Standup should be <2 minutes to read; long updates lose the audience
• NEVER include ticket/PR numbers without context — "PROJ-123" means nothing; always include title or summary
• NEVER pull data from repos user didn't explicitly approve — Even if you can see other repos, respect boundaries
