Engineering
Standup without the meeting
Reads yesterday's commits, merges, and review queue, then posts a standup so nobody has to attend one.
The prompt
This is the whole configuration
Paste it into a workflow and edit it in plain English. There is nothing else to wire up.
Every weekday at 9am, look at our GitHub org and gather everything that happened since 9am yesterday: commits pushed, pull requests opened, pull requests merged, and pull requests still waiting for review. Group it by engineer. For each person write one line about what they shipped. Then list anything that looks blocked — a pull request open more than three days, a review requested more than a day ago with no response, or a failing check on a pull request that is otherwise ready. Post this to #standup as a single message. Keep it under twenty lines and leave out anyone with no activity.

Use cases
The task behind this template
PR review & digest
An agent reads each diff against your conventions and leaves a real review. A second agent summarizes the week: what merged, what is waiting, and how CI is holding up.
Weekly digests
An agent reads a week of activity across the tools your team uses, separates decisions from chatter, and posts a digest people actually read.
