Morning standup prep

Pulls Linear updates, open PRs, and overnight Slack threads into three clean lines — before the first coffee.

Every morning before standup, most people spend 20+ minutes manually checking Linear, GitHub, and Slack to piece together what happened overnight. Your assistant does it automatically and has a three-line summary waiting before you open your laptop.

The prompt

Runs every weekday at 8:45 AM. Adapt the tools and channels to fit your stack.

It's standup time. Check what changed since 5 PM yesterday:

Linear — tickets that moved, got new comments, or are blocked
GitHub — open PRs where I'm a required reviewer or was mentioned
Slack — anything urgent or unresolved that still needs me

Three lines back to me:
1. What shipped
2. What's blocked
3. What's next

How it works

Your assistant runs on a schedule. At 8:45 AM it hits the Linear API, GitHub REST API, and Slack Web API in parallel. It filters for activity since the previous day at 5 PM, which keeps the summary focused on overnight changes rather than historical noise.

The three-line format is enforced by the prompt. It cannot pad or add context — it has to pick what matters most and cut everything else. That constraint is what makes the output actually useful in standup instead of just being a wall of updates.

The outcome

Standup prep goes from a 22-minute scramble to a 90-second read. You walk into the meeting knowing exactly what to say and the team moves faster because nobody is waiting for you to dig through tabs.
