Standup Notes Generator
Generate standup notes for PostHog standups (Monday, Wednesday, Friday).
Purpose
Every standup, you need to report:
- Completed: core product (feature-flags domain) PRs I authored, merged since last standup
- Agent-authored (reviewed & landed by me): cloud-agent PRs (authored by
posthog[bot]) that I reviewed, fixed up, and merged since last standup. Grouped separately so authorship is honest. Omit the section entirely when there are none.
- Shepherded (external PRs I reviewed & merged): other people's PRs I shepherded to merge since last standup. Credit the contributor by handle. Omit the section entirely when there are none.
- Working on: PRs with recent activity + items from last standup not yet done
- Side quests: work outside the team's core product domain (internal dev tooling, infra side-projects, or cross-team contributions), each labeled with its state (In progress / Completed). Omit the section entirely when there are none.
- Discussion: Usually something playful ("Nothing", "Nada", "Ain't got a thing")
Your Task
Step 1: Get Date Context
Run the helper script to get standup dates:
~/.claude/skills/standup/scripts/standup-dates.sh
This returns tab-separated: <today>\t<last_standup_date>\t<new_file_path>
Store these values:
today - Today's date (for the new standup file)
last_standup_date - When the previous standup was (for PR queries)
new_file_path - Where to write the new standup notes
Step 2: Find Previous Standup Notes
Run the helper script to find previous standup notes:
~/.claude/skills/standup/scripts/standup-find.sh
This returns tab-separated: <status>\t<path>\t<date>\t<posted_at>
If status is "found":
- Read the previous standup notes at
<path>
- Extract the "Working on" items that are NOT completed (for carry-over)
- Use
<posted_at> (the file's modified time in UTC ISO 8601, e.g. 2026-06-17T16:00:00Z) as the merge cutoff for Step 3, not the mechanical last_standup_date from Step 1. This is the moment you last posted, so PRs merged after it are picked up next time even when they landed the same day (post at 9am, merge at 10am → the 10am PR shows up in the next standup), while PRs merged before it aren't double-counted. It also covers skipped days: if you didn't work Friday, Monday's standup reaches back to Wednesday's standup, not to Friday.
- Set
cutoff to <posted_at> for use in Step 3.
If status is "new", set cutoff to last_standup_date (date only).
Step 3: Query GitHub for PR Activity
Only include PRs from PostHog/* repos. Personal repos (e.g. haacked/*) are excluded; standup is a PostHog work update, and personal tooling work isn't relevant to teammates. The org:PostHog qualifier in the search queries enforces this.
Completed and Side-quest PRs (merged since the cutoff from Step 2):
gh api search/issues --method GET -f q="author:haacked org:PostHog is:pr is:merged merged:>=${cutoff}" --jq '.items[] | {number, title, url: .html_url, repo: (.repository_url | sub(".*/repos/"; "")), merged_at: .pull_request.merged_at}'
${cutoff} is <posted_at> from Step 2 (a full UTC ISO timestamp like 2026-06-17T16:00:00Z); the merged: qualifier accepts time-of-day, so this excludes PRs already reported and includes ones merged later the same day. Fall back to the date-only last_standup_date only when Step 2 returned "new". Split the merged results into Completed (core feature-flags product work) and Side quests (internal dev tooling, infra side-projects, cross-team contributions) by judging each PR's repo and title; merged side quests get state Completed.
Note: gh search prs --merged is unreliable for date filtering; it returns stale results. Always use gh api search/issues with the merged: qualifier instead, which returns accurate merged_at timestamps.
PRs you merged but didn't author: the author:haacked query misses two flavors of your work entirely: cloud-agent PRs authored by posthog[bot] (branches like posthog-code/*, with docs follow-ups by inkeep[bot]), and other people's PRs you shepherded to merge. Run a second search for merged PRs you were involved in but didn't author:
gh api search/issues --method GET -f q="org:PostHog is:pr is:merged merged:>=${cutoff} involves:haacked -author:haacked" --jq '.items[] | {number, title, url: .html_url, repo: (.repository_url | sub(".*/repos/"; "")), author: .user.login, merged_at: .pull_request.merged_at}'
GitHub search has no merged-by qualifier, so verify each result in one Bash call and keep only PRs where mergedBy is haacked (drop the rest — PRs you merely reviewed or commented on, then the author merged themselves):
for pr in "owner/repo#number" "owner/repo#number"; do
repo="${pr%%#*}"; num="${pr##*#}"
echo -e "$repo#$num\t$(gh pr view "$num" --repo "$repo" --json mergedBy --jq '.mergedBy.login')"
done
Route the surviving PRs by author: bot-authored (login ends in [bot]) to Agent-authored (reviewed & landed by me), human-authored to Shepherded (external PRs I reviewed & merged). Neither goes in Completed. Combine each docs follow-up with the code PR it documents. Caveat: involves: requires authorship, assignment, a mention, or a comment; a bot PR merged without ever commenting on it won't match. If one seems missing, retry the search with reviewed-by:haacked in place of involves:haacked.
Active PRs (open PRs across all PostHog repos), including draft status:
gh api search/issues --method GET -f q="author:haacked org:PostHog is:pr is:open" --jq '.items[] | {number, title, url: .html_url, repo: (.repository_url | sub(".*/repos/"; "")), draft: .draft, updatedAt: .updated_at}'
Note: This single query replaces per-repo gh pr list calls and also covers the "recently updated" signal via updatedAt. Filter to items updated since last_standup_date to identify PRs with recent activity. Route core (feature-flags domain) open PRs to Working on; route non-core open PRs to Side quests with state In progress. The search API does not return review requests; for non-draft open PRs, fetch them in one Bash call:
for pr in "owner/repo#number" "owner/repo#number"; do
repo="${pr%%#*}"; num="${pr##*#}"
echo -e "$repo#$num\t$(gh pr view "$num" --repo "$repo" --json reviewRequests --jq '[.reviewRequests[].login] | join(",")')"
done
Step 4: Compose and Save Standup Notes
Build standup content and produce two outputs: a plain text archive file and HTML for the clipboard.
Content Rules
Completed items:
- List core product (feature-flags domain) PRs merged since the cutoff from Step 2
- Use past tense; the entire description is the link text
- Use backticks (plain text) or
<code> (HTML) for method/code names
Agent-authored items:
- The section header is exactly
Agent-authored (reviewed & landed by me): and it sits directly after Completed
- List cloud-agent PRs merged by me since the cutoff (identified in Step 3), in the same format as Completed items
- Omit the section entirely when there are none
Shepherded items:
- The section header is exactly
Shepherded (external PRs I reviewed & merged): and it sits directly after Agent-authored (or after Completed when there are no agent PRs)
- List other people's PRs merged by me since the cutoff (identified in Step 3), in the same format as Completed items, with the contributor credited by handle in a parenthetical:
(by @handle)
- Omit the section entirely when there are none
Combining related PRs:
- When several PRs form one logical unit (a feature plus its rollout, a change plus its follow-ups, a primary PR plus supporting infra), combine them into a single entry instead of one bullet per PR. This applies to Completed, Agent-authored, Shepherded, and Side-quest items alike.
- The entry's main description links to the primary PR. Weave the related PRs in as inline links on the words that describe them, and use parentheticals for sequential follow-ups (e.g., shadow, then enable).
- In HTML each woven phrase is its own
<a>; in the plain text archive place each link's URL in parentheses immediately after the phrase it belongs to.
Working on items:
- Include core (feature-flags domain) open PRs with recent activity
- Carry over items from the previous standup's "Working on", but verify each one first. For all carried-over PR URLs, check their state in one Bash call:
for pr in "owner/repo#number" "owner/repo#number"; do
repo="${pr%%#*}"; num="${pr##*#}"
echo -e "$repo#$num\t$(gh pr view "$num" --repo "$repo" --json state,mergedAt --jq '[.state, (.mergedAt // "")] | @tsv')"
done
Then apply these rules to each row:
-
If MERGED since last standup: move to Completed (deduplicate by PR number; carry-over is the safety net for PRs the merged search may miss)
-
If CLOSED: drop it entirely
-
If OPEN: keep in Working on
-
Determine PR status from the Step 3 data:
draft: true → link text is "draft"
- review-requests lookup returned any reviewer → link text is "needs review"
- Otherwise → link text is "PR"
-
For non-PR work items: plain text description only
Side-quest items:
- List work outside the core product domain (internal dev tooling, infra side-projects, cross-team contributions)
- Label each item with its state: In progress for open PRs, Completed for merged PRs
- Same formatting as Completed items
- Omit the section entirely when there are none
Discussion:
- Default to a playful "nothing" variant
- Rotate between: "Nothing", "Nada", "Ain't got a thing", "Zilch", "Not a thing", "All quiet on the western front"
