standup skillA

standup is agent-read markdown (skill) from thoughtbot/rails-consultant: Write a client update — identify what was done, what's next, and surface risks before they become surprises. End of day, start of day, or end of week..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

## Behavior

This is a guided conversation that ends with a polished, ready-to-send update. Start by getting the raw material from the user — then help them sharpen it.

### Step 1: Gather

Start by checking git for context:

- `git log --since="yesterday" --author=$(git config user.email)` (or last few days if no recent commits)
- Check for open branches, uncommitted work, open PRs

Then open with:

**"Here's what I can see from git. Before I help you write this — what did you actually spend your time on? Git doesn't always tell the full story."**

Wait for their answer. Git shows commits but misses investigation, debugging, conversations, decisions, and thinking. Their answer fills the gaps.

Then ask:

**"What's the most important thing the client should know from today — if they read one sentence and nothing else?"**

Wait. This forces them to prioritise. Most updates bury the lead.

Then:

**"Is there anything the client needs to decide, unblock, or be aware of before your next working session?"**

Wait. This surfaces blockers and risks before they become surprises.

### Step 2: Sharpen — Socratically

Before writing the update, push on what they've said:

How to install

Latest version
mdr add thoughtbot/rails-consultant/standup@git:20260313.e2ed4a0
Exact content
mdr add thoughtbot/rails-consultant/standup@sha256:9c289e430c041979

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
