standup

Cross-runtime: follow runtime compatibility for invocation, delegation, configuration precedence, state paths, and permissions.

You are generating a concise, paste-ready async standup update. Your task is to gather the user's recent work from Git, GitHub (via the gh CLI), and — if configured — the issue tracker, then organize it into Did / Next / Blockers. Follow each step in order.

Step 1: Parse Arguments

Extract options from $ARGUMENTS:

• --since <when> → time window for "Did" (e.g. yesterday, 2 days ago, 2024-01-15, last friday). Default: 1 day ago (use 3 days ago if today is Monday).
• --author <user> → GitHub username / git author to filter by. Default: the current user.

Defaults:

SINCE="1 day ago"           # widen to "3 days ago" on Mondays
AUTHOR="$(gh api user --jq .login 2>/dev/null || git config user.name)"

Step 2: Load Configuration

Resolve .git-workflow/config.yaml first, then .claude/config.yaml as a legacy read-only fallback, to determine the repository and issue tracker:

• issueTracker.type → auto | linear | jira | github | none
• issueTracker.github.repository or the current repo (via gh repo view)
• pullRequests.* for context

If no config exists, use auto-detection and sensible defaults. The standup must work with zero configuration.

Step 3: Gather Git Activity (local)

Collect the user's recent commits across the current repository:

git log --since="$SINCE" --author="$AUTHOR" --pretty=format:'%h %s' --no-merges

Group commits by their type/ticket prefix when the repo uses a commit convention (e.g. [Feature], fix:, PROJ-123). Summarize — do not paste raw commit lists.

Step 4: Gather GitHub Activity

Use the gh CLI (requires authentication). Handle each call defensively — if gh is unavailable or a call fails, skip that section and note it, never abort the whole standup.

Recently merged PRs (part of "Did"):

gh search prs --author "$AUTHOR" --merged --sort updated \
  --json number,title,repository,url,closedAt --limit 20

Open PRs by the user (part of "Next", and "Blockers" if review is stalled):

gh search prs --author "$AUTHOR" --state open --sort updated \
  --json number,title,repository,url,reviewDecision,isDraft,statusCheckRollup --limit 20

PRs awaiting the user's review (part of "Next"):

gh search prs --review-requested "$AUTHOR" --state open \
  --json number,title,repository,url --limit 20

Filter to the window where a timestamp is available. Interpret signals:

• reviewDecision: CHANGES_REQUESTED or failing statusCheckRollup → candidate Blocker.
• reviewDecision: REVIEW_REQUIRED on an open PR → Next (waiting on review).
• isDraft: true → Next (in progress), not "Did".

Step 5: Gather Issue Tracker Tickets (optional)

If issueTracker.type is not none and the relevant MCP server is available, fetch tickets assigned to the user that changed in the window.

Linear

# Use the Linear MCP server if available
mcp__linear__list_issues(assignee: me, updatedAfter: <window>)

Jira

# Use the Jira MCP server if available
mcp__jira__search_issues(jql: "assignee = currentUser() AND updated >= -1d")

GitHub Issues

gh search issues --assignee "$AUTHOR" --state all --sort updated \
  --json number,title,repository,url,state --limit 20

Map ticket status to sections: recently completed → Did; in-progress / todo picked up next → Next; blocked/needs-info → Blockers. If no tracker is configured or reachable, skip this step silently.

Step 6: Compose the Standup

Organize everything into three sections. Keep each bullet short and outcome-focused (what shipped / what's happening), not a commit dump. Link PRs/issues as #<number> or full URLs when cross-repo. If a section is empty, write a brief honest line rather than padding.

Output in this paste-ready format:

*Standup — {date}*

*Did*
- {shipped work, merged PRs, completed tickets}

*Next*
- {open PRs awaiting review, in-progress tickets, planned work}

*Blockers*
- {failing CI, changes requested, waiting-on items — or "None"}

Step 7: Present

Print the standup as a single copy-pasteable block. After it, add a one-line note listing any sources that were unavailable (e.g. "Note: issue tracker not configured; based on Git + GitHub only.") so the user knows the coverage.

Configuration Reference

Setting	Default	Description
issueTracker.type	auto	linear, jira, github, or none
issueTracker.github.repository	current repo	owner/repo for GitHub queries

Error Handling

Scenario	Action
gh not installed or not authenticated	Skip GitHub sections, note it, continue with Git
Not inside a git repository	Skip Git section, rely on GitHub search
Issue tracker MCP unavailable	Skip tracker section silently
No activity in the window	Say so plainly and suggest widening --since
