Jira Daily - Standup Meeting Preparation

Smart standup report generator that analyzes your work activity and provides structured updates for daily meetings.

Anti-Hallucination Guidelines

CRITICAL: Standup reports must reflect ACTUAL work done:

1. Only list real tickets - Every ticket must come from jira CLI output
2. Verify completion - Only mark as "Completed" if status is Done/Closed/Released
3. Real commit counts - Use actual git log output, don't estimate
4. Actual blockers - Only mention blockers explicitly in Jira or discussed
5. True metrics - Story points and progress from actual sprint data

Project Key Detection

Phase 1: Determine Project Key

Get the project key from (in order of priority):

1. Command argument: --project ABC or -p ABC
2. Jira CLI config: Read from ~/.config/.jira/.config.yml

# Try to get project key from jira CLI config
PROJECT_KEY=$(cat ~/.config/.jira/.config.yml 2>/dev/null | grep -A1 "^project:" | grep "key:" | awk '{print $2}')
echo "Detected project: $PROJECT_KEY"

If no project key found, ask user to specify with --project <KEY>.

Your Task

Phase 2: Calculate Date Range

# Calculate since date (yesterday, or Friday if today is Monday)
if [[ $(date +%u) == 1 ]]; then
    # Monday - report from Friday
    SINCE_DATE=$(date -v-3d +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || date -d "3 days ago" +%Y-%m-%d)
else
    # Other days - report from yesterday
    SINCE_DATE=$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || date -d "yesterday" +%Y-%m-%d)
fi
echo "Reporting since: $SINCE_DATE"

Phase 3: Gather Activity Data

# Get tickets updated recently
jira issue list --updated -1d --plain --columns key,summary,status,priority,type

# Get tickets moved to done/completed
jira issue list --jql "status changed to (Done, Released, Closed) after -1d AND assignee was currentUser()" --plain

# Get tickets currently in progress
jira issue list --assignee $(jira me) --status "In Progress" "Code Review" "In Review" --plain

# Check for blockers
jira issue list --assignee $(jira me) --jql "labels = 'blocked' OR description ~ 'blocked'" --plain

# Get git activity
git log --author="$(git config user.email)" --since="$SINCE_DATE" --oneline --all --no-merges

# Count commits and files
git rev-list --count --since="$SINCE_DATE" --author="$(git config user.email)" --all 2>/dev/null || echo "0"

Phase 4: Analyze with SubAgents (For Comprehensive Reports)

For detailed format, use parallel analysis:

Agent 1 - Work Classification:
- prompt: "Classify these Jira tickets into: Completed, In Progress, Blocked, Started. Base ONLY on actual status field. Return categorized list."
- subagent_type: "general-purpose"

Agent 2 - Impact Analysis:
- prompt: "For completed tickets, summarize the business/technical impact based on ticket description and type. Keep it factual."
- subagent_type: "general-purpose"

Agent 3 - Git Correlation:
- prompt: "Match git commits to Jira tickets by ticket ID in commit messages. Report which tickets have code changes."
- subagent_type: "Explore"

Phase 5: Generate Report

Track sections completed with TodoWrite.
