What is generate-standup?

A skill that prepares a daily standup update from recent GitHub work and agent-session history, with an option to post it to a team discussion.

Use it to generate or publish a daily standup for the mitodl or Open edX teams, using the GitHub command-line tool.

It turns activity from pull requests, issues, reviews, and discussions into a work update without requiring you to collect it manually.

Install

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.

Any agent

npx skills add mitodl/agent-kit --skill generate-standup

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mitodl/agent-kit

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00106	$0.07723
Opus 5.5	$0.00042	$0.03089
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00021	$0.01545
Haiku 4.5	$0.00011	$0.00772

Measured 8d ago against content hash 828960f43f3b, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade B, and why

generate-standup scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/get-standup-context.sh, scripts/post-standup-comment.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 657 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate Daily Standup

Produces a daily standup post from live GitHub activity and optionally posts it to the mitodl/hq Check-ins discussion.

Requires: gh (authenticated) and jq.

Step 1 — Fetch GitHub context

Run the bundled context script before asking any questions:

bash skills/process/generate-standup/scripts/get-standup-context.sh [-t YYYY-MM-DD] [-o org1,org2]

Flag	Description	Default
`-t`	"Today" date (`YYYY-MM-DD`)	today (UTC)
`-o`	Comma-separated orgs to search	`mitodl,openedx`

The script outputs a JSON object:

{
  "meta": {
    "username": "string",
    "display_name": "string",
    "today": "string",
    "yesterday": "string",
    "tomorrow": "string",
    "since": "string"
  },
  "checkin_targets": { "eod": {...}, "bod": {...}, "latest": {...} },
  "prs_authored":        [...],
  "prs_reviewed":        [...],
  "issues":              [...],
  "discussions_opened":  [...],
  "discussion_comments": [...]
}

meta.display_name is the GitHub profile name when available; fall back to meta.username if it is blank.
meta.yesterday is the previous weekday (Friday if today is Monday).
meta.tomorrow is the next weekday (Monday if today is Friday).
meta.since is midnight UTC on meta.yesterday — the fetch window start.
checkin_targets holds the candidate post targets in mitodl/hq, each with id (GraphQL node ID), number, title, url, createdAt, date (the calendar date the title names) and comment_count. Any of the three may be null. See Choosing the post target.
discussions_opened — discussions the user opened in the window, any category. Opening one is announcement-worthy; see Step 3.
discussion_comments — comments and replies the user left in the window, with a url deep-linked to the comment and a 300-char excerpt. Check-ins threads are excluded (those are standup posts — reporting them is circular).
Do not infer or fabricate activity beyond what the script returns.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
