How does the Standup skill gather information?

If connectors are configured, it automatically pulls data from source control, project trackers, and chat history. Otherwise, it structures manual notes that you provide directly.

Do I need to connect my GitHub account to use this?

Connecting source control is optional but recommended; it allows the skill to automatically include your recent commits and pull requests in the summary without manual input.

What output formats are supported?

By default, it generates a markdown summary with Yesterday, Today, and Blockers sections, but you can request specific formatting for Slack, email, or other team tools.

Can it identify blockers automatically?

It can flag potential blockers from your project tracker or chat discussions, and you can also manually specify them to ensure they are highlighted in the final output.

Can I use this for non-technical standups?

Yes, the skill can take rough notes about any type of knowledge work and format them into a professional, structured update suitable for any team.
