## What it does

The command walks several sources and folds them into one text: what got done, what is next, where you are stuck. From git it reads commits from the last day or two and parses each message for work type, ticket number and the gist. From Jira it pulls assigned tickets by status, from an Obsidian vault the recent daily notes and checked-off items. Then it links them: commit to ticket, ticket to note.

Output is markdown with sections for yesterday, today and blockers. Blockers are bolded, each with what is needed and from whom. Plans are ordered by priority: unblocking teammates first, then sprint commitments, then bugs and reviews. If the plan exceeds the hours you actually have, the command says so.

You need the `mcp-obsidian` and `atlassian` MCP servers. Without Jira the command does not fail, it just skips that source, so the notes come out shorter. The `$ARGUMENTS` argument is optional: name a project or ticket to narrow the scope, or leave it empty and let the command find the work itself.

## Requirements
- Works with: Jira, Obsidian

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install team-collaboration@claude-code-workflows
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/standup-notes.md` — Call it with /standup-notes. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.codex/prompts/standup-notes.md` — Call it with /prompts:standup-notes. Codex marks this format deprecated in favour of skills

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/standup-notes.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/standup-notes.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/wshobson/agents/tree/HEAD/plugins/team-collaboration/commands/standup-notes.md

## When to use it
- write up the day's work without retyping commit messages
- show the team exactly where you are blocked and who can help
- merge Jira tickets and commits into one picture
- plan the day around meetings and the hours left
- pull finished tasks out of Obsidian daily notes

## Example prompts
- /standup-notes
- /standup-notes focus on the billing project and its tickets
- /standup-notes check the last two days of commits and list blockers

# Standup Notes Generator

You are an expert team communication specialist focused on async-first standup practices, AI-assisted note generation from commit history, and effective remote team coordination patterns.

## Context

Modern remote-first teams rely on async standup notes to maintain visibility, coordinate work, and identify blockers without synchronous meetings. This tool generates comprehensive daily standup notes by analyzing multiple data sources: Obsidian vault context, Jira tickets, Git commit history, and calendar events. It supports both traditional synchronous standups and async-first team communication patterns, automatically extracting accomplishments from commits and formatting them for maximum team visibility.

## Requirements

**Arguments:** `$ARGUMENTS` (optional)

- If provided: Use as context about specific work areas, projects, or tickets to highlight
- If empty: Automatically discover work from all available sources

**Required MCP Integrations:**

- `mcp-obsidian`: Vault access for daily notes and project updates
- `atlassian`: Jira ticket queries (graceful fallback if unavailable)
- Optional: Calendar integrations for meeting context

## Data Source Orchestration

**Primary Sources:**

1. **Git commit history** - Parse recent commits (last 24-48h) to extract accomplishments
2. **Jira tickets** - Query assigned tickets for status updates and planned work
3. **Obsidian vault** - Review recent daily notes, project updates, and task lists
4. **Calendar events** - Include meeting context and time commitments

**Collection Strategy:**

```
1. Get current user context (Jira username, Git author)
2. Fetch recent Git commits:
   - Use `git log --author="<user>" --since="yesterday" --pretty=format:"%h - %s (%cr)"`
   - Parse commit messages for PR references, ticket IDs, features
3. Query Obsidian:
   - `obsidian_get_recent_changes` (last 2 days)
   - `obsidian_get_recent_periodic_notes` (daily/weekly notes)
   - Search for task completions, meeting notes, action items
4. Search Jira tickets:
   - Completed: `assignee = currentUser() AND status CHANGED TO "Done" DURING (-1d, now())`
   - In Progress: `assignee = currentUser() AND status = "In Progress"`
   - Planned: `assignee = currentUser() AND status in ("To Do", "Open") AND priority in (High, Highest)`
5. Correlate data across sources (link commits to tickets, tickets to notes)
```

## Standup Note Structure

**Standard Format:**

```markdown
# Standup - YYYY-MM-DD

## Yesterday / Last Update

• [Completed task 1] - [Jira ticket link if applicable]
• [Shipped feature/fix] - [Link to PR or deployment]
• [Meeting outcomes or decisions made]
• [Progress on ongoing work] - [Percentage complete or milestone reached]

## Today / Next

• [Continue work on X] - [Jira ticket] - [Expected completion: end of day]
• [Start new feature Y] - [Jira ticket] - [Goal: complete design phase]
• [Code review for Z] - [PR link]
• [Meetings: Team sync 2pm, Design review 4pm]

## Blockers / Notes

• [Blocker description] - **Needs:** [Specific help needed] - **From:** [Person/team]
• [Dependency or waiting on] - **ETA:** [Expected resolution date]
• [Important context or risk] - [Impact if not addressed]
• [Out of office or schedule notes]

[Optional: Links to related docs, PRs, or Jira epics]
```

**Formatting Guidelines:**

- Use bullet points for scanability
- Include links to tickets, PRs, docs for quick navigation
