Prérequis

Before using this workflow, ensure you have:

Workflow pas à pas

Step 1: Gather Yesterday's Activity

Start by asking your AI to summarize what was completed yesterday:

Yesterday Summary Prompt

"Generate my standup update. First, summarize what I completed yesterday: - List tasks that were marked as 'done' yesterday - List tasks that had status changes (e.g., open → in_progress) - List tasks that had new comments added yesterday - Summarize the work completed"

What the AI does:

  1. Calls list_tasks to get recent tasks
  2. Filters tasks by updated_at date (yesterday)
  3. Checks task status changes and comments
  4. Summarizes completed work

Step 2: Identify Today's Plan

Get tasks planned for today:

Today's Plan Prompt

"Now, identify what I'm planning to work on today: - List tasks that are 'in_progress' and assigned to me - List tasks due today that are 'open' or 'in_progress' - List high-priority tasks I should focus on - Create a plan for today's work"

What the AI does:

  1. Calls list_tasks with filters for today's work
  2. Identifies in-progress tasks
  3. Finds tasks due today
  4. Prioritizes tasks for today's focus

Step 3: Surface Blockers

Identify any blockers or risks:

Blocker Detection Prompt

"Identify any blockers: - List tasks with status 'blocked' - List tasks that are overdue - List tasks with many comments but no recent progress - Summarize blockers and risks"

What the AI does:

  1. Filters tasks by status: "blocked"
  2. Finds overdue tasks
  3. Analyzes task activity patterns
  4. Presents blocker summary

Step 4: Generate Standup Summary

Combine everything into a standup format:

Standup Generation Prompt

"Generate my standup update in this format: Yesterday: - [What I completed] Today: - [What I'm working on] Blockers: - [Any blockers or risks] Format it clearly and concisely."

What the AI does:

  1. Combines yesterday's activity, today's plan, and blockers
  2. Formats as standup update
  3. Presents formatted standup summary

Step 5: Post Summary as Comment (Optional, with Confirmation)

⚠️ Always Confirm Before Posting Comments

When posting standup summaries as comments:

  • Preview First: Show comment text before posting
  • Confirmation Token: Require "CONFIRM" before calling add_task_comment
  • Verify Task: Confirm which task the comment will be added to

Safe Comment Posting Prompt

"Post my standup summary as a comment on task [Task ID or Title]. But first, show me exactly what comment you'll post. Wait for CONFIRM before adding the comment."

What the AI does:

  1. Shows comment preview: "Comment: [Standup Summary Text]"
  2. Confirms task where comment will be added
  3. Waits for "CONFIRM"
  4. Only after confirmation, calls add_task_comment
  5. Confirms comment was posted

Complete Workflow Prompts

Here are complete, copy-paste ready prompts:

Individual Standup

"Generate my standup update: 1. What I completed yesterday (tasks marked done, status changes, new comments) 2. What I'm working on today (in-progress tasks, tasks due today) 3. Any blockers (blocked tasks, overdue items) Format as: Yesterday / Today / Blockers"

Use this when: You need a personal standup update

Team Standup

"Generate a team standup summary: 1. For each team member, show: - What they completed yesterday - What they're working on today - Any blockers 2. Overall team status: - Tasks completed yesterday - Tasks in progress - Team blockers Format it as a team standup report."

Use this when: You need a team-wide standup summary

Standup with Comment Posting

"Generate my standup update and post it as a comment on task [Task ID]. Show me the standup summary first, then show me what comment you'll post, then wait for CONFIRM before adding the comment."

Use this when: You want to document standup in a task

Workflow Variants

Variant 1: Project-Specific Standup

Focus standup on a specific project:

"Generate my standup update for the [Project Name] project. Focus only on tasks in this project for yesterday, today, and blockers."

What happens: AI filters tasks by project before generating standup

Variant 2: Time-Tracking Based Standup

Include time tracking data in standup:

"Generate my standup update. Include: - Tasks I completed yesterday (check status changes) - Time I tracked yesterday (if available) - What I'm working on today - Any blockers"

What happens: AI includes time tracking context if available

Variant 3: Weekly Standup Summary

Generate a weekly summary instead of daily:

"Generate my weekly standup summary: - What I completed this week - What I'm planning for next week - Blockers and risks - Overall progress"

What happens: AI analyzes week's activity instead of daily

Example: Complete Standup Session

Here's a real example of how a standup session flows:

User Prompt

"Generate my standup update for today. Include yesterday's work, today's plan, and any blockers."

Safety Patterns

⚠️ Confirmation Rules for Comment Posting

When posting standup summaries as comments:

  • Review content: Ensure standup summary is accurate before posting

Troubleshooting

No Activity Found

Symptom: Standup shows no completed work

Possible causes:

  • No tasks were updated yesterday
  • Tasks are in a different workspace
  • Date filter is too narrow

Fix: Try "last 2 days" instead of "yesterday", or check different projects

Too Much Information

Symptom: Standup is too long or detailed

Possible causes:

  • Many tasks were updated
  • AI included too much detail

Fix: Ask for summary: "Generate a brief standup, keep it to top 3 items per section"
