Daily Standup

Generate a concise standup report by querying the backlog.

Process

  1. Done — call task_list with filter status:completed end.after:now-1d to show tasks completed in the last 24 hours. If empty, try end.after:now-7d for the last week.

  2. In progress — call task_list with filter +ACTIVE to show tasks currently being worked on.

  3. Blocked — call task_list with filter +BLOCKED status:pending to show tasks waiting on dependencies. For each, identify which task is blocking it.

  4. Up next — call task_list with filter status:pending and pick the top 3 by urgency that are NOT blocked. These are what should be worked on next.

  5. Overdue — call task_count with filter +OVERDUE to flag any overdue tasks.

Format

Present as a brief, scannable report:

**Done**: [completed tasks or "nothing recent"]
**In progress**: [active tasks or "nothing started"]
**Blocked**: [blocked tasks and what's blocking them, or "none"]
**Up next**: [top 3 actionable tasks by urgency]
**Overdue**: [count, or skip if 0]

Keep it concise — this is a quick status check, not a full report. Skip sections that are empty.
