Async Daily Update
Generate a properly formatted async daily standup message for posting in the team Slack channel.
Step 1: Gather Information
Ask the user for the following. Collect all answers before generating the message.
Required:
- What are you working on today? (list each task; ask if any have Linear issue links to include)
Optional — ask about each, only include in output if the user has something to report:
- Any blockers? (something preventing you from making progress)
- Anything you need from a specific teammate? (who and what)
- Any time OOO today? (if yes, ask for the time range and time zone)
Step 2: Generate the Message
Format the message exactly as follows:
🔄 YYYY-MM-DD
- [task one]
- [task two — add link if provided]
- **Blocker:** [description]
- **Needs:** [what you need — @mention the person directly]
- **OOO:** [time range with time zone, e.g., 14:00–17:00 CET]
Rules
- Always start with the 🔄 emoji — this makes the update searchable in Slack
- Use today's date in
YYYY-MM-DD format
- Leave a blank line between the date and the first bullet
- Each task is a separate bullet point
- If the user provides a Linear issue link, inline it after the task description:
Task description [SDK-123](https://linear.app/...)
- Only include Blocker, Needs, and OOO lines if the user has something to report — omit them entirely otherwise
- For Needs, mention the specific person by name or @handle
- For OOO, always include the time zone (e.g., CET, EST, PST)
Step 3: Output
Display the final message as a plain code block so the user can copy and paste it directly into Slack.
After the code block, remind the user: post this in your #team-sdk-* channel.
