Reads yesterday's Linear issues and GitHub commits for the authenticated user, formats a standup update (done / doing / blockers), and posts it to Slack. Use when asked to write a standup, generate a standup update, post to the standup channel, summarize yesterday's work, or automate the daily standup. Trigger when a user says "write my standup", "post standup", "generate standup update", "what did I do yesterday", or "kill the standup".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Kill the Standup
Read yesterday's Linear issues and GitHub commits. Format a standup update. Post it to Slack.
---
## Step 1: Setup Check
Confirm required env vars are set:
```bash
echo "LINEAR_API_KEY: ${LINEAR_API_KEY:+set}"
echo "SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: ${SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL:+set}"
echo "GITHUB_REPO: ${GITHUB_REPO:-not set}"
echo "GITHUB_USERNAME: ${GITHUB_USERNAME:-not set}"
```
**If LINEAR_API_KEY is missing:**
Stop. Tell the user: "LINEAR_API_KEY is required. Get it from Linear → Settings → API → Personal API keys. Add it to your .env file."
**If SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL is missing:**
Stop. Tell the user: "SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL is required. Create an Incoming Webhook at api.slack.com/apps → Your App → Incoming Webhooks. Add it to your .env file."
**If GITHUB_REPO is missing:**
Continue. GitHub commits will be skipped. Note this to the user.
---
## Step 2: Fetch Linear Activity
Compute yesterday's date in ISO 8601 format (e.g. `2026-04-09T00:00:00.000Z`).
**Get current user ID:**
```bash
curl -s -X POST https://api.linear.app/graphql \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $LINEAR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query": "query { viewer { id name email } }"}'
```

How to install
mdr add varnan-tech/opendirectory/kill-the-standup@sha256:79d0d5cd88815114The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
