# /standup > If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see [CONNECTORS.md](../../CONNECTORS.md). Generate a standup update by pulling together recent activity across your tools. ## How It Works ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ STANDUP │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ STANDALONE (always works) │ │ ✓ Tell me what you worked on and I'll structure it │ │ ✓ Format for daily standup (yesterday / today / blockers) │ │ ✓ Keep it concise and action-oriented │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ SUPERCHARGED (when you connect your tools) │ │ + Source control: Recent commits and PRs │ │ + Project tracker: Ticket status changes │ │ + Chat: Relevant discussions and decisions │ │ + CI/CD: Build and deploy status │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ## What I Need From You **Option A: Let me pull it** If your tools are connected, just say `/standup` and I'll gather everything automatically. **Option B: Tell me what you did** "Worked on the auth migration, reviewed 3 PRs, got blocked on the API rate limiting issue." ## Output ```markdown ## Standup — [Date] ### Yesterday - [Completed item with ticket reference if available] - [Completed item] ### Today - [Planned item with ticket reference] - [Planned item] ### Blockers - [Blocker with context and who can help] ``` ## If Connectors Available If **~~source control** is connected: - Pull recent commits and PRs (opened, reviewed, merged) - Summarize code changes at a high level If **~~project tracker** is connected: - Pull tickets moved to "in progress" or "done" - Show upcoming sprint items If **~~chat** is connected: - Scan for relevant discussions and decisions - Flag threads needing your response ## Tips 1. **Run it every morning** — Build a habit and never scramble for standup notes. 2. **Add context** — After I generate, add any nuance about blockers or priorities. 3. **Share format** — Ask me to format for Slack, email, or your team's standup tool.
