daily-meeting-update▌
softaworks/agent-toolkit · updated Apr 8, 2026
MDX-style export adds YAML metadata + attribution linking explainx.ai and this canonical listing URL.
Interactive daily standup generator that pulls activity from GitHub, Jira, and Claude Code history.
- ›Detects available integrations (GitHub CLI, Jira, Claude Code session history) and asks permission before pulling any data
- ›Conducts a structured 4-question interview (yesterday's work, today's plan, blockers, discussion topics) with pulled data as context to trigger memory
- ›Generates clean Markdown updates combining interview responses with tool data, including PR links and ticket summa
Daily Meeting Update
Generate a daily standup/meeting update through an interactive interview. Never assume tools are configured—ask first.

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Phase 1: Detect & Offer Integrations
Step 1: Silent Detection
Check for available integrations silently (suppress errors, don't show to user):
| Integration | Detection |
|---|---|
| Claude Code History | ~/.claude/projects directory exists with .jsonl files |
| GitHub CLI | gh auth status succeeds |
| Jira CLI | jira command exists |
| Atlassian MCP | mcp__atlassian__* tools available |
| Git | Inside a git repository |
Step 2: Offer GitHub/Jira Integrations (if available)
Claude Code users: Use
AskUserQuestionTooltool for all questions in this phase.
GitHub/Git:
If HAS_GH or HAS_GIT:
"I detected you have GitHub/Git configured. Want me to pull your recent activity (commits, PRs, reviews)?"
Options:
- "Yes, pull the info"
- "No, I'll provide everything manually"
If yes:
"Which repositories/projects should I check?"
Options:
- "Just the current directory" (if in a git repo)
- "I'll list the repos" → user provides list
Jira:
If HAS_JIRA_CLI or HAS_ATLASSIAN_MCP:
"I detected you have Jira configured. Want me to pull your tickets?"
Options:
- "Yes, pull my tickets"
- "No, I'll provide everything manually"
Step 3: Pull GitHub/Jira Data (if approved)
GitHub/Git — For each approved repo:
- Commits by user since yesterday
- PRs opened/merged by user
- Reviews done by user
Jira — Tickets assigned to user, updated in last 24h
Key insight: Store results to use as context in Phase 2 interview.
Step 4: Offer Claude Code History
This integration captures everything you worked on with Claude Code — useful for recalling work that isn't in git or Jira.
Detection:
ls ~/.claude/projects/*/*.jsonl 2>/dev/null | head -1
If Claude Code history exists, ask:
"I can also pull your Claude Code session history from yesterday. This can help recall work that isn't in git/Jira (research, debugging, planning). Want me to check?"
Options:
- "Yes, pull my Claude Code sessions"
- "No, I have everything I need"
If yes, run the digest script:
python3 ~/.claude/skills/daily-meeting-update/scripts/claude_digest.py --format json
Then present sessions with multiSelect:
Use AskUserQuestionTool with multiSelect: true to let user pick relevant items:
"Here are your Claude Code sessions from yesterday. Select the ones relevant to your standup:"
Options (multiSelect):
- "Fix authentication bug (backend-api)"
- "Implement OAuth flow (backend-api)"
- "Update homepage styles (frontend-app)"
- "Research payment providers (docs)"
Key insight: User selects which sessions are work-related. Personal projects or experiments can be excluded.
Do NOT run digest script when:
- User explicitly says "No" to Claude Code history
- User says they'll provide everything manually
~/.claude/projectsdirectory doesn't exist
If digest script fails:
- Fallback: Skip Claude Code integration silently, proceed with interview
- Common issues: Python not installed, no sessions from yesterday, permission errors
- Do NOT block the standup flow — the script is supplemental, not required
Phase 2: Interview (with insights)
Claude Code users: Use
AskUserQuestionTooltool to conduct the interview. This provides a better UX with structured options.
Use pulled data as context to make questions smarter.
Question 1: Yesterday
If data was pulled, show it first:
"Here's what I found from your activity:
- Merged PR #123: fix login timeout
- 3 commits in backend-api
- Reviewed PR #456 (approved)
Anything else you worked on yesterday that I missed?"
If no data pulled:
"What did you work on yesterday/since the last standup?"
If user response is vague, ask follow-up:
- "Can you give more details about X?"
- "Did you complete anything specific?"
Question 2: Today
"What will you work on today?"
Options:
- [Text input - user types freely]
If Jira data was pulled, you can suggest:
"I see you have these tickets assigned:
- PROJ-123: Implement OAuth flow (In Progress)
- PROJ-456: Fix payment bug (To Do)
Will you work on any of these today?"
Question 3: Blockers
"Do you have any blockers or impediments?"
Options:
- "No blockers"
- "Yes, I have blockers" → follow-up for details
Question 4: Topics for Discussion
"Any topic you want to bring up at the end of the daily?"
Options:
- "No, nothing to discuss"
- "Yes" → follow-up for details
Examples of topics:
- Technical decision that needs input
- Alignment with another team
- Question about prioritization
- Announcement or info for the team
Phase 3: Generate Update
Combine all information into clean Markdown:
# Daily Update - [DATE]
## Yesterday
- [Items from interview]
- [Items from GitHub/Jira if pulled]
## Today
- [Items from interview]
## Blockers
- [Blockers or "No blockers"]
## PRs & Reviews (if pulled from GitHub)
- [PRs opened]
- [PRs merged]
- [Reviews done]
## Jira (if pulled from Jira)
- [Tickets updated]
## Topics for Discussion
- [Topics or "None"]

*Links:*
- [PR links]
- [Ticket links]
Core Principles
- Interview is primary — Tools supplement, they don't replace human context
- Consent before access — Always ask before pulling from any integration
- Context-aware questions — Show pulled data during interview to trigger memory ("I see you merged PR #123...")
Quick Reference
| Phase | Action | Tool |

Anti-Patterns
| Avoid | Why (Expert Knowledge) | Instead |
|---|---|---|
| Run gh/jira without asking | Users may have personal repos visible, or be in a sensitive project context they don't want exposed | Always ask first, let user choose repos |
| Assume current directory is the only project | Developers often work on 2-5 repos simultaneously (frontend, backend, infra) | Ask "Which projects are you working on?" |
| Skip interview even with tool data | Tools capture WHAT happened but miss WHY and context (research, meetings, planning) | Interview is primary, tools supplement |
| Generate update before all 4 questions | User might have critical blocker or discussion topic that changes the narrative | Complete interview, then generate |
| Include raw commit messages | Commit messages are often cryptic ("fix", "wip") and don't tell the story | Summarize into human-readable outcomes |
| Ask for data after interview | Showing insights during interview makes questions smarter ("I see you merged PR #123, anything else?") | Pull data first, then interview with context |
NEVER
- NEVER assume tools are configured — Many devs have gh installed but not authenticated, or jira CLI pointing to wrong instance
- NEVER skip the "Topics for Discussion" question — This is often the most valuable part of standup that tools can't capture
- NEVER generate more than 15 bullets — Standup should be <2 minutes to read; long updates lose the audience
- NEVER include ticket/PR numbers without context — "PROJ-123" means nothing; always include title or summary
- NEVER pull data from repos user didn't explicitly approve — Even if you can see other repos, respect boundaries
