Daily Standup Writer from Git and Tickets
Turns your commits, PRs, reviews, and ticket moves into a 15-second standup post that never says shipped when it only merged.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I can help with that. To write a good standup, I'd need to know what you actually worked on yesterday and what's coming today. Do you have a list of commits or PRs you merged? Or should I just ask you what you did? Also, are there any blockers or questions? Once you give me those details, I can write something up for you.
STANDUP (Friday, Jul 31): YESTERDAY: ✓ Merged PR #4521 (added email validation to signup form) — shipped to prod ✓ Reviewed three design mockups from product team (approved 2, sent back 1 for tweaks) ✓ Pair-programmed with Jane on the API retry logic — landed a fix for flaky tests ✓ Closed 6 Github issues (mostly small bugs, one medium refactor) TODAY: → Finish database migration script (unblocks staging deployment) → Code review for Bob's changes (promised by EOD) → Attend product planning meeting (1pm) to discuss feature X roadmap BLOCKERS / NOTES: Waiting on: Design system update from design team — I need it before I finish the component refactor. Expected Monday. Context: Email validation PR had to go out quick because customer was hitting a bug; we can clean up the error messages next sprint. Up next: Starting infrastructure upgrade sprint, might need help from a senior engineer if it gets complex. --- This took 60 seconds to generate from your git log + calendar. Edit a line or two if anything is wrong, then paste it.
About this skill
Your standup, written from what you actually did instead of what you remember at 9:01. It pulls the right window, groups the noise into real outcomes, and states status honestly.
What it does
- Uses the right window: last working day, so Monday covers Friday
- Pulls commits across all branches, PRs opened, merged, and reviewed, and ticket moves (or gives you the commands to run)
- Collapses wip and fix-typo commits into plain-language outcomes with PR and ticket links
- Never says shipped or live without deploy evidence
- Writes blockers with what, since when, who, and the ask
What you get
A ready-to-paste Yesterday / Today / Blockers block in your team's format, plus a one-line note of anything assumed.
Best for
Developers and small teams running async standups in Slack, Teams, or a standup bot.

description: Turn one person's real activity since their last working day - commits, pull requests opened, merged, and reviewed, ticket moves, and their own notes - into a short, ready-to-post async standup (yesterday / today / blockers) that reads like a human wrote it and never overstates what shipped. Use when the user says "write my standup", "what did I do yesterday?", "standup from my commits", "turn my git log into an update", "Monday standup, cover Friday", "draft my async update for Slack", or pastes a git log, PR list, or ticket list and asks for a status post.
