standup

A command that builds a daily standup update from the user's recent Slack messages. A standup is a short team update covering completed work, upcoming work, and blockers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify recent work, next steps, unanswered questions, and blockers, then prepare the update for review.
Why use it?
It saves time spent searching through messages and turning scattered updates into a standard status report.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/slackapi/slack-skills-plugin/standup
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/slackapi/slack-skills-plugin

Or install slack, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 8 skills, 5 commands, 1 MCP server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

standup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

  1. Use slack_read_user_profile (with no user_id) to get the current user's profile information, including their user ID and display name.

  2. Search for the user's recent messages using slack_search_public with the filter from:<@USER_ID> and after: set to yesterday's date. This captures messages from the last working day.

  3. Review the messages found and categorize them into standup themes:

    • What I worked on — Topics, projects, or tasks the user discussed or contributed to
    • What I'm working on next — Any mentions of upcoming work, plans, or follow-ups
    • Blockers — Any questions asked that went unanswered, issues raised, or explicit mentions of being stuck
  4. For messages in threads, use slack_read_thread to get the full context so you can accurately describe what the user contributed.

  5. Format the standup as:

    **Standup for <display name> — <today's date>**
    
    **Done:**
    - Item 1
    - Item 2
    
    **Doing:**
    - Item 1
    
    **Blockers:**
    - None / Item 1
    
  6. Present the standup to the user for review. They can edit, adjust, or ask you to post it to a specific channel.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
