Ops standup

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

Flag	Default	Description
--since <duration>	24h	Time window (24h, 48h, 7d)
--summary-only	no	Short version without per-repo details

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

Technical view (default)

Summary view (--summary-only)

# Standup Summary — YYYY-MM-DD

Yesterday: X features delivered, Y bugs fixed, Z PRs merged.
Today: W PRs to review, V CI failures to fix.
Blockers: [list or "none"].

Graceful degradation

Missing tool	Impact	Fallback
gh not installed	No PRs nor CI	Signal it, show only commits
Remote repo unreachable	No remote status	Use local data
No recent commits	Empty section	Indicate "No activity"

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
