SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Archive the completed standup and initialize a fresh draft for the next supervisor meeting, carrying over unchecked tasks, backlog items, and performance snapshots.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pre-flight checks ensure the required standup infrastructure files exist and are readable.
  • Reads the standup_draft_formatting.md template to reuse the standard structure for the new draft.
  • Reads the standup_draft_archive.md to extract carryover: unchecked PRIMARY and SECONDARY tasks, backlog items, and the complete Performance Snapshot.
  • Increments the Meeting number by reading the archive header and prepares a new draft with carried-over items and empty sections for Progress Log and Non-Technical Summary.
  • Writes the new draft to project_updates/standup_draft.md and preserves the archive history.
  • Supports optional input to insert new PRIMARY tasks at the top of the PRIMARY section.
