standup-solo

Skill8 starsChanged 7 months agoMITView on GitHub

Run a 5-minute personal standup for a solo dev — what shipped yesterday, what's blocked, what's next today. Use when the user asks for a daily check-in, says "what should I work on today", "what did I do yesterday", or wants to break out of a productivity slump.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    If the dev gives nothing, ask one question only: *"What did you work on yesterday — give me 3 bullets, ugly is fine."*

    line 60
  2. Distinctive:

    Don't carry blocked items silently: If a thing has been blocked 3+ days, escalate or kill it — note this in the standup.

    line 92

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Standup Solo / 单兵每日站会

When to use

  • The user is a solo operator (no team to standup with).
  • They want 5 minutes of forced reflection, not a project management session.
  • They have access to whatever notes / commits / messages they made yesterday.

When NOT to use

  • The user wants a multi-day retrospective — that's postmortem-solo.
  • They want to plan a sprint — too granular, use a planning skill instead.
  • They are clearly burned out — pushing them through standup theater is harmful. Suggest rest.

The three questions

A solo standup is three questions, hard limits:

  1. What did I actually finish yesterday? (Past, concrete, observable. "Worked on X" doesn't count — what was done?)
  2. What's blocked or about to block me? (Anything where the next step depends on someone or something outside my control.)
  3. What is the one most important thing today? (Singular. Force the user to commit.)

Output format

## Standup — YYYY-MM-DD

**Yesterday (shipped):**
- <thing 1>
- <thing 2>

**Yesterday (started but not finished):**
- <thing> — <why not done>

**Blocked:**
- <thing> — <waiting on what / who>

**Today's #1:**
> <one sentence, action-form>

**Today's #2 and #3 (only if #1 finishes):**
- <thing>
- <thing>

Inputs the user can provide

To make output sharp, the user can paste any of:

  • Yesterday's git log: git log --since="yesterday" --author=<me> --oneline
  • Sent emails / Slack DMs from yesterday
  • A screenshot of yesterday's todo app
  • Just a stream-of-consciousness brain dump

If the dev gives nothing, ask one question only: "What did you work on yesterday — give me 3 bullets, ugly is fine."

Worked example

Input (raw):

"yesterday i fixed a bug in the auth flow, started on the new pricing page but it's like 60% done, also replied to like 8 customer emails. today i need to finish pricing page and figure out why stripe webhooks are firing twice."

Output:

## Standup — 2026-04-30

**Yesterday (shipped):**
- Fixed bug in auth flow.
- Replied to 8 customer support emails.

**Yesterday (started but not finished):**
- New pricing page — ~60% done; carry over to today.

**Blocked:**
- (none reported)

**Today's #1:**
> Ship pricing page to production (the remaining 40% — copy, layout, deploy).

**Today's #2 and #3 (only if #1 finishes):**
- Investigate duplicate Stripe webhook firings.

Anti-patterns

  • Don't list hopes as accomplishments. "Worked on X" is not "shipped X". If it's not visible to a user, it didn't ship.
  • Don't have 5 #1 priorities. That's 0 priorities.
  • Don't carry blocked items silently. If a thing has been blocked 3+ days, escalate or kill it — note this in the standup.

中文版

何时使用

  • 单兵作战,没团队可以开站会。
  • 想要 5 分钟强制反省,不是项目管理会议。
  • 手头有昨天的笔记/提交/消息可参考。

何时不使用

  • 想要跨多日回顾——那是 postmortem-solo。
  • 想要冲刺规划——颗粒度不够,换规划类技能。
  • 已经明显燃尽——继续表演站会有害,建议休息。

三个问题

  1. 昨天我到底完成了什么?(过去时、具体、可观测。"在做 X"不算,要看做完了什么。)
  2. 什么阻塞了我,或快要阻塞?(下一步依赖外部人或外部物的所有事。)
  3. 今天最重要的一件事是什么?(单数。强制承诺。)

输出

## 站会 — YYYY-MM-DD

**昨日已交付:**
- <项 1>
- <项 2>

**昨日开了头没做完:**
- <项> — <为何没做完>

**阻塞:**
- <项> — <等谁/等什么>

**今日 #1:**
> <一句话,动词开头>

**今日 #2 和 #3(仅当 #1 完成后再做):**
- <项>
- <项>

反模式

  • 别把"在做"当成"做完了"——用户看不到的功能 = 没交付。
  • 别有 5 个最高优先级——那等于没优先级。
  • 别让阻塞项静默累积——超过 3 天就要升级或砍掉。

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
