A Standup Update Nobody Has to Decode

What it is for

A standup that lists ticket titles makes the reader do the work. This turns task movement into a report about outcomes and blockers, which is what the person reading it actually needs.

The skill Copy

The default AI standup lists what moved. Nobody needs that — it is visible in
the board. Ask for the three things the board does not show.

Prompt it for exactly this shape:

    ## Shipped
    What a user or a customer can now do that they could not yesterday.
    Not ticket titles — outcomes.

    ## Blocked
    Each blocker: what it blocks, who can unblock it, how long it has been
    blocked. Anything blocked more than two days goes first.

    ## Changed course
    Anything that moved BACKWARDS in status, or whose estimate changed, and why.

Then set two conventions in the workspace so it has something to read:
- A task moved back to In Progress gets a comment saying why. This is the field
  the report above depends on, and it is the one people skip.
- Blockers are a custom field with a person in it, not a text note. A blocker
  with no owner is not a blocker, it is a complaint.

The "Changed course" section is the one that earns the report. Everything else
is available at a glance; a silently re-opened task is not.

How to install it Copy

1. Open the tool and start a new conversation, project or template.
2. Paste the text below wherever the tool keeps standing instructions
   — usually called system prompt, instructions, or persona.
3. Save it so it applies to every run rather than a single message.
