Standup Generator

Generate a ready-to-share standup report from your git activity and open work.

Usage

/standup - Generate standup for today

Instructions

When invoked, follow these steps:

Step 1: Determine Yesterday

Calculate "yesterday" intelligently:

• If today is Monday, use Friday
• If today is Sunday, use Friday
• If today is Saturday, use Friday
• Otherwise, use the previous day

Step 2: Gather Yesterday's Work

A. Get Yesterday's Commits

git log --author="$(git config user.email)" --since="yesterday 00:00" --until="today 00:00" --format="%s" --no-merges

For Monday standups, adjust to get Friday's commits:

git log --author="$(git config user.email)" --since="3 days ago 00:00" --until="2 days ago 00:00" --format="%s" --no-merges

B. Get Merged PRs (if gh CLI available)

gh pr list --author @me --state merged --search "merged:>=$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)" --json number,title --jq '.[] | "PR #\(.number): \(.title)"'

C. Get PRs You Reviewed

gh pr list --state all --search "reviewed-by:@me updated:>=$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)" --json number,title --jq '.[] | "Reviewed PR #\(.number): \(.title)"'

Step 3: Gather Today's Plan

A. Get Open PRs You Authored

gh pr list --author @me --state open --json number,title,isDraft --jq '.[] | "PR #\(.number): \(.title)" + (if .isDraft then " (draft)" else "" end)'

B. Get PRs Awaiting Your Review

gh pr list --search "review-requested:@me" --state open --json number,title --jq '.[] | "Review PR #\(.number): \(.title)"'

C. Get Current Branch Status

git branch --show-current
git status --porcelain | wc -l | xargs echo "uncommitted changes:"

Step 4: Format Standup

Present in this format:

STANDUP - [Day], [Date]

Yesterday:
• [Merged PR / Commit summary]
• [Reviewed PR]
• [Other work done]

Today:
• [Continue/Complete PR in progress]
• [Review pending PRs]
• [Current branch work]

Blockers:
• None identified

Step 5: Ask About Blockers

After presenting the standup, ask:

"Any blockers I should add to this standup?"

If the user provides blockers, update the Blockers section.

Example Output

STANDUP - Tuesday, Jan 7

Yesterday:
• Merged PR #42: Auth refactor
• Fixed login redirect bug (3 commits)
• Reviewed PR #38: API rate limiting

Today:
• Continue PR #45: User profile page (in progress)
• Review PR #50: Database migration
• Working on feature/user-settings branch (5 uncommitted changes)

Blockers:
• None identified (add any?)

Fallback Behavior

• If gh CLI is not available, skip PR-related steps and note: "Install gh CLI for PR integration"
• If no commits found, mention: "No commits yesterday - was this expected?"
• For Monday standups, expand to include Thursday if Friday was also empty
