GitHub Daily - Standup Meeting Preparation

Generates a standup report from GitHub Issues, PRs, notifications, and git history.

Anti-Hallucination Guidelines

Standup reports must reflect actual work done, not guesses:

1. Only list issues/PRs that came back from gh CLI output.
2. Only mark "Completed" if state is closed or PR is merged.
3. Use real git log counts, never estimate.
4. Only mention blockers that are explicitly labeled or commented in GitHub.
5. Only include a report section if Phase 3 actually gathered data for it. Never fill a section with placeholder text like "[List any risks]": omit the section entirely instead.

Phase 1: Determine Repository and User

Detect context in order of priority: --repo owner/repo argument, current git remote, then gh CLI default.

REPO=$(gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q .nameWithOwner 2>/dev/null)
if [ -z "$REPO" ]; then
  echo "ERROR: Not in a GitHub repository. Use --repo owner/repo to specify."
fi
echo "Detected repo: $REPO"

GH_USER=$(gh api user -q .login 2>/dev/null)
echo "Authenticated as: $GH_USER"

If no repo is detected and none provided, ask the user to specify with --repo owner/repo.

If --all-repos is passed, skip the single-repo detection above and instead collect the repo list to scan:

REPOS=$(gh search issues --assignee @me --state open --limit 20 --json repository --jq '[.[].repository.nameWithOwner] | unique | .[]')

Run Phase 3 once per repo in $REPOS, passing each as --repo in turn, and concatenate the results before Phase 4. Without --all-repos, $REPO is a single value and every Phase 3 command below must pass --repo "$REPO".

Phase 2: Calculate Date Range

# Report from Friday if today is Monday, otherwise from yesterday
if [[ $(date +%u) == 1 ]]; then
  SINCE_DATE=$(date -v-3d +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || date -d "3 days ago" +%Y-%m-%d)
else
  SINCE_DATE=$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || date -d "yesterday" +%Y-%m-%d)
fi
echo "Reporting since: $SINCE_DATE"
