SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Starting a daily development session often requires manually checking remote branches, reviewing cached context, and reconstructing what was worked on last. This Skill automates that routine by producing a concise standup briefing at the start of each session. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Remote Branch Reporting: Runs git fetch origin --prune and identifies the latest remote branch worked on by committer date. - Branch Comparison: Reports current branch versus remote-last, local-last, and TODO branch so you instantly see where work stands. - Cache and TODO Briefing: Loads cached session context and TODO items to resume work quickly. - Use Case: A developer opens their editor each morning, invokes the standup skill with an optional focus like 'tests' or 'deploy', and immediately receives a summary of the latest remote branch activity plus pending TODOs. ## Quick Start Start my daily standup session with a focus on deploy and show me the latest remote branch status.

Frequently Asked Questions about daily-standup

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a daily standup summary from git branches?▼

Invoke the daily-standup skill at session start. It runs git fetch origin --prune, finds the newest origin branch by committer date, and reports current versus remote-last versus local-last branches alongside cached TODOs.

How to find the most recently worked on remote git branch?▼

Fetch all remotes with git fetch origin --prune, then sort origin branches by committer date to find the newest. This skill performs that automatically and labels the result as remote-last.

Can I pass a focus area to the daily standup workflow?▼

Yes, the skill accepts an optional argument-hint such as 'tests', 'deploy', 'chains', or 'template-deploy'. The focus tailors the briefing toward that area of work for the session.

Does the standup skill modify my git repository?▼

No, it only runs read-oriented git operations like fetch with prune and branch inspection. It does not commit, push, or alter working tree files during the briefing.

Why does the standup report differ from my local branch state?▼

The report compares current, remote-last, and local-last branches, so divergence appears when local commits are unpushed or remote work happened elsewhere. Fetch first to ensure the comparison reflects the latest remote state.
