Daily Standup — Morning Briefing

Objective

Scan one or several git repos to generate a structured briefing: recent commits, open PRs, CI state, blockers and priorities of the day.

Read-only mode — no code modification.

Phase 1: Repo detection

Determine the repos to scan

1. If paths are provided as arguments: use them
2. If a parent directory is provided: scan 1 level for .git/
3. Otherwise: use the current directory

Options

Phase 2: Data collection

For each repo, collect:

2.1 Recent commits

# Commits from the last 24h grouped by author
git log --since="24 hours ago" --format="%h %an: %s" --no-merges

Group by author, count commits, identify types (feat/fix/refactor/docs).

2.2 Pull Requests and CI

If gh is available:

# Open PRs
gh pr list --state open --json number,title,author,reviewDecision,statusCheckRollup

# Recently merged PRs
gh pr list --state merged --json number,title,mergedAt --limit 10

Classify the PRs:

• To review: reviewDecision = REVIEW_REQUIRED
• Approved: reviewDecision = APPROVED (ready to merge)
• CI failing: statusCheckRollup contains FAILURE
• Pending: statusCheckRollup contains PENDING

2.3 CI state

If gh is available:

# Latest workflow runs
gh run list --limit 10 --json status,conclusion,name,createdAt

Identify:

• Failing workflows (conclusion = failure)
• Stuck workflows (status = in_progress for > 30 min)
• Recently cancelled workflows

2.4 Stale branches

# Branches with no commit for 7+ days (excluding main/develop/release)
git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate --format='%(refname:short) %(committerdate:relative)' refs/heads/ | grep -E "(weeks|months) ago"

2.5 Uncommitted changes

git status --porcelain

Categorize: staged, unstaged, untracked.

Phase 3: Synthesis

Aggregate the data into 4 categories:

What has been done

• Features delivered (feat commits)
• Bugs fixed (fix commits)
• Merged PRs

What is in progress

• Open PRs and their state
• Active branches with recent commits

What is blocked

• PRs with failing CI
• Stuck or failing workflows
• PRs awaiting review for > 48h

Suggested priorities

• Approved PRs to merge
• CI failures to fix
• Pending reviews
• Stale branches to clean up

Phase 4: Output

Graceful degradation

Rules

• ALWAYS use read-only commands (git log, git status, gh pr list)
• NEVER modify files, branches, or PRs
• NEVER invent data — if a source is unavailable, signal it
• Clearly indicate data gaps
• If gh is not available, mention it and show what is available
