Standup
Write a concise daily summary from GitHub commits. Keep it short — 3–7 bullets max, no filler.
Get today's commits
If search_commits MCP tool is available in context, call it with:
q: author:USERNAME committer-date:YYYY-MM-DD- Use today's date and the authenticated user's login
Otherwise, run the bundled script — it lives at .agents/skills/standup/scripts/ relative to the vault root:
bash .agents/skills/standup/scripts/get-commits.sh
bash .agents/skills/standup/scripts/get-commits.sh 2025-01-15
Output: one JSON object per line — repo, message, sha, date.
Write the summary
Group commits by repo. Distill each group into one bullet:
**YYYY-MM-DD**
- **repo-name**: what was done
- **repo-name**: what was done
Rules:
- Write in the same language the user used in their request
- Past tense, imperative voice (
added, fixed, refactored)
- No intro, no "here is your summary", no trailing commentary
Writing to a daily note
If the user asks to write to an existing note, read the file first to understand its structure. Add the commits block inside the most appropriate existing section (e.g., under ## Night) rather than appending a new top-level section at the end.
Gotchas
gh api search/commits requires Accept: application/vnd.github.cloak-preview header or returns 422 — the script already includes it, but if calling the API directly, always add this header.- The search index lags ~30s; very recent commits may not appear immediately.
