Jira Daily - Standup Meeting Preparation

Generates a structured standup update from real Jira and git activity. Complements jira-cli (general Jira command reference) and jira-todo (forward-looking planning, this skill looks backward at what was actually done).

Anti-Hallucination Guidelines

A standup report is only useful if every line traces back to a real query result:

1. Only list tickets that came from actual jira CLI output.
2. Only mark a ticket "Completed" if its status is Done/Closed/Released.
3. Use real git log commit counts, never estimate.
4. Only mention blockers explicitly labeled or discussed in Jira.
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]" or invented numbers (story points, lines changed, coverage %): omit the section or field entirely instead. If a template field (Next steps, due date) isn't stated in the ticket's own description/comments/due-date field, leave it out rather than guessing.

Workflow

Phase 1: Determine Project Key

Priority order:

1. Command argument: --project ABC or -p ABC
2. Jira CLI config: read from ~/.config/.jira/.config.yml

PROJECT_KEY=$(cat ~/.config/.jira/.config.yml 2>/dev/null | grep -A1 "^project:" | grep "key:" | awk '{print $2}')
echo "Detected project: $PROJECT_KEY"

If no project key is found, ask the user to specify --project <KEY> rather than guessing one from repo name or branch.

Phase 2: Calculate Date Range

# Report since yesterday, or since Friday if today is Monday
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"

--since <date> overrides $SINCE_DATE directly.

Phase 3: Gather Activity Data

Every field that ends up in the report has to come from one of these commands: if a template field in Phase 5 isn't backed by output here, cut the field, not the discipline.
