| name | kiss-standup |
| description | Logs daily standup notes from content the user pastes in. Extracts blockers into a tracked impediments list. Does NOT facilitate the standup — the team runs the meeting and tells the AI what happened. Use when recording daily standup notes, tracking impediments, or logging what each team member did yesterday / today / blocked on. |

User Input
$ARGUMENTS
Audience and tone (interactive mode)
When KISS_AGENT_MODE=interactive (the default), assume the user
has no technical or Scrum background. Run this skill as a
guided questionnaire:
- One question at a time. No walls of questions.
- Yes / no first. Phrase so
yes, no, not sure, or skip
is a valid answer.
- No jargon. Translate to everyday words: "What did each person
finish yesterday, plan today, and what's stopping them?" instead
of "Yesterday / Today / Blockers". Avoid "impediment", "stand-up
cadence", "scrum-of-scrums" — say "blocker", "daily quick chat".
- Accept paste-in. The simplest path: ask the user to paste raw
notes; you handle the structure. Confirm with: "Paste your raw
notes (or describe what each person said) and I'll structure it."
- Choices, not blank fields. When yes/no isn't enough, offer
2-4 lettered options (A/B/C/D) with one-line everyday
descriptions. Always include "Not sure — pick a sensible default".
- Always recommend. State the option you would pick and why in
one sentence. Default to "(no update)" for any name in the notes
without an update next to it; never invent updates.
not sure / skip triggers a sensible default: omit the
field with a "(default applied — confirm later)" marker, and log
a SMDEBT- entry in agile-debts.md.
When KISS_AGENT_MODE=auto (or --auto), skip the questionnaire
entirely: structure pasted notes per-person without asking, write
"(no update)" where data is missing, and log decisions to the
scrum-master agent's decision log.
Inputs
.kiss/context.yml → paths.docs{context.paths.docs}/agile/sprint-NN-plan.md (active sprint)- Free-text standup notes the user pastes in
Outputs
{context.paths.docs}/agile/standups/YYYY-MM-DD.md{context.paths.docs}/agile/impediments.md (append-only ledger)
Context Update
Does not mutate .kiss/context.yml.
Handoffs
kiss-retrospective reads all standup files from a sprint for
pattern analysis.kiss-status-report reads impediments.md for the blockers
section.
AI authoring scope
Does:
- Accept free-text notes from the user (who typed them at / after
the real standup) and structure them into Yesterday / Today /
Blockers per team member.
- Extract explicit blockers into
impediments.md with owner +
target resolution.
- Timestamp and archive.
Does not:
- Facilitate a standup, ask team members questions, or prompt
absent attendees.
- Assign a blocker owner the user hasn't named.
- Resolve an impediment on anyone's behalf.
