standup is a skill for Claude Code from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins. It costs 54 tokens per session (587 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A format for turning recent work into a concise daily standup update: what happened yesterday, what is planned today, and what is blocked. It can use notes or activity from connected development tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare standup notes, summarise recent engineering activity, or organise rough work notes into an action-oriented update.
Why use it?
It saves time when gathering commits, pull requests, tickets, discussions, and build status into a shareable progress update.

About the project

Knowledge Work Plugins is an open-source collection of Claude extensions organized around roles such as productivity, sales, and customer support. Each plugin combines role-specific guidance, connectors, commands, and sub-agents so knowledge workers can use Claude with their team’s tools and processes. The catalogue entries are examples of, or workflows from, this plugin collection.

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 1mo 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.
