Phase 1: Detect & Offer Integrations

Step 1: Silent Detection

Check for available integrations silently (suppress errors, don't show to user):

Integration	Detection
Claude Code History	~/.claude/projects directory exists with .jsonl files
GitHub CLI	gh auth status succeeds
Jira CLI	jira command exists
Atlassian MCP	mcp__atlassian__* tools available
Git	Inside a git repository

Step 2: Offer GitHub/Jira Integrations (if available)

Claude Code users: Use AskUserQuestionTool tool for all questions in this phase.

GitHub/Git:

If HAS_GH or HAS_GIT:

"I detected you have GitHub/Git configured. Want me to pull your recent activity (commits, PRs, reviews)?"

Options:
- "Yes, pull the info"
- "No, I'll provide everything manually"

If yes:

"Which repositories/projects should I check?"

Options:
- "Just the current directory" (if in a git repo)
- "I'll list the repos" → user provides list

Jira:

If HAS_JIRA_CLI or HAS_ATLASSIAN_MCP:

"I detected you have Jira configured. Want me to pull your tickets?"

Options:
- "Yes, pull my tickets"
- "No, I'll provide everything manually"

Step 3: Pull GitHub/Jira Data (if approved)

GitHub/Git — For each approved repo:

• Commits by user since yesterday
• PRs opened/merged by user
• Reviews done by user

Jira — Tickets assigned to user, updated in last 24h

Key insight: Store results to use as context in Phase 2 interview.

Step 4: Offer Claude Code History

This integration captures everything you worked on with Claude Code — useful for recalling work that isn't in git or Jira.

Detection:

ls ~/.claude/projects/*/*.jsonl 2>/dev/null | head -1

If Claude Code history exists, ask:

"I can also pull your Claude Code session history from yesterday. This can help recall work that isn't in git/Jira (research, debugging, planning). Want me to check?"

Options:
- "Yes, pull my Claude Code sessions"
- "No, I have everything I need"

If yes, run the digest script:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/daily-meeting-update/scripts/claude_digest.py --format json

Then present sessions with multiSelect:

Use AskUserQuestionTool with multiSelect: true to let user pick relevant items:

"Here are your Claude Code sessions from yesterday. Select the ones relevant to your standup:"

Options (multiSelect):
- "Fix authentication bug (backend-api)"
- "Implement OAuth flow (backend-api)"
- "Update homepage styles (frontend-app)"
- "Research payment providers (docs)"

Key insight: User selects which sessions are work-related. Personal projects or experiments can be excluded.

Do NOT run digest script when:

• User explicitly says "No" to Claude Code history
• User says they'll provide everything manually
• ~/.claude/projects directory doesn't exist

If digest script fails:

• Fallback: Skip Claude Code integration silently, proceed with interview
• Common issues: Python not installed, no sessions from yesterday, permission errors
• Do NOT block the standup flow — the script is supplemental, not required

---

Phase 2: Interview (with insights)

Claude Code users: Use AskUserQuestionTool tool to conduct the interview. This provides a better UX with structured options.

Use pulled data as context to make questions smarter.

Question 1: Yesterday

If data was pulled, show it first:

"Here's what I found from your activity:
- Merged PR #123: fix login timeout
- 3 commits in backend-api
- Reviewed PR #456 (approved)

Anything else you worked on yesterday that I missed?"

If no data pulled:

"What did you work on yesterday/since the last standup?"

If user response is vague, ask follow-up:

• "Can you give more details about X?"
• "Did you complete anything specific?"

Question 2: Today

"What will you work on today?"

Options:
- [Text input - user types freely]

If Jira data was pulled, you can suggest:

"I see you have these tickets assigned:
- PROJ-123: Implement OAuth flow (In Progress)
- PROJ-456: Fix payment bug (To Do)

Will you work on any of these today?"

Question 3: Blockers

"Do you have any blockers or impediments?"

Options:
- "No blockers"
- "Yes, I have blockers" → follow-up for details

Question 4: Topics for Discussion

"Any topic you want to bring up at the end of the daily?"

Options:
- "No, nothing to discuss"
- "Yes" → follow-up for details

Examples of topics:
- Technical decision that needs input
- Alignment with another team
- Question about prioritization
- Announcement or info for the team

Phase 3: Generate Update

Combine all information into clean Markdown:

# Daily Update - [DATE]

## Yesterday
- [Items from interview]
- [Items from GitHub/Jira if pulled]

## Today
- [Items from interview]

## Blockers
- [Blockers or "No blockers"]

## PRs & Reviews (if pulled from GitHub)
- [PRs opened]
- [PRs merged]
- [Reviews done]

## Jira (if pulled from Jira)
- [Tickets updated]

## Topics for Discussion
- [Topics or "None"]

---
*Links:*
- [PR links]
- [Ticket links]

Core Principles

1. Interview is primary — Tools supplement, they don't replace human context
2. Consent before access — Always ask before pulling from any integration
3. Context-aware questions — Show pulled data during interview to trigger memory ("I see you merged PR #123...")

Quick Reference

Phase	Action	Tool
1. Detect & Offer	Check gh/jira/claude history, ask user, pull data	Bash (silent), AskUserQuestionTool*
2. Interview	Ask 4 questions with insights	AskUserQuestionTool*
3. Generate	Format Markdown	Output text

*Claude Code only: Use AskUserQuestionTool tool for structured questions.

Claude Code Digest Script

# Get yesterday's sessions as JSON
python3 ~/.claude/skills/daily-meeting-update/scripts/claude_digest.py --format json

# Get today's sessions
python3 ~/.claude/skills/daily-meeting-update/scripts/claude_digest.py --date today --format json

# Filter to specific project
python3 ~/.claude/skills/daily-meeting-update/scripts/claude_digest.py --project ~/my-app --format json

Example Session

Claude: "Let's prepare your daily! I detected GitHub configured. Want me to pull your recent activity?"
User: "Yes"

Claude: "Which repos should I check?"
User: "backend-api and frontend-app"

[Claude pulls GitHub data silently]

Claude: "I can also pull your Claude Code session history from yesterday. Want me to check?"
User: "Yes"

[Claude runs digest script, gets 5 sessions]

Claude: "Here are your Claude Code sessions from yesterday. Select the ones relevant to your standup:"
  ☑ Fix authentication timeout bug (backend-api)
  ☑ Implement OAuth flow (backend-api)
  ☐ Update personal blog (blog) - [user unchecks personal project]
  ☑ Research payment providers (docs)
  ☐ Debugging test failures (experiments)

User: [selects 3 relevant items]

Claude: "Here's what I found from your activity:
- Merged PR #120: fix login timeout
- Opened PR #125: feat: add OAuth flow
- Reviewed PR #123 (approved), PR #456 (changes requested)
- 5 commits in backend-api
- [From Claude Code] Fix authentication timeout bug
- [From Claude Code] Implement OAuth flow
- [From Claude Code] Research payment providers

Anything else you worked on yesterday that I missed?"
User: "No, that covers it"

Claude: "What will you work on today?"
User: "Continue the OAuth feature and deploy to staging"

Claude: "Any blockers?"
User: "No"

Claude: "Any topic to bring up at the end of the daily?"
User: "Yes, I want to discuss the architecture of the new payments module"

[Claude generates update]

Anti-Patterns

Avoid	Why (Expert Knowledge)	Instead
Run gh/jira without asking	Users may have personal repos visible, or be in a sensitive project context they don't want exposed	Always ask first, let user choose repos
Assume current directory is the only project	Developers often work on 2-5 repos simultaneously (frontend, backend, infra)	Ask "Which projects are you working on?"
Skip interview even with tool data	Tools capture WHAT happened but miss WHY and context (research, meetings, planning)	Interview is primary, tools supplement
Generate update before all 4 questions	User might have critical blocker or discussion topic that changes the narrative	Complete interview, then generate
Include raw commit messages	Commit messages are often cryptic ("fix", "wip") and don't tell the story	Summarize into human-readable outcomes
Ask for data after interview	Showing insights during interview makes questions smarter ("I see you merged PR #123, anything else?")	Pull data first, then interview with context

---

NEVER

• NEVER assume tools are configured — Many devs have gh installed but not authenticated, or jira CLI pointing to wrong instance
• NEVER skip the "Topics for Discussion" question — This is often the most valuable part of standup that tools can't capture
• NEVER generate more than 15 bullets — Standup should be <2 minutes to read; long updates lose the audience
• NEVER include ticket/PR numbers without context — "PROJ-123" means nothing; always include title or summary
• NEVER pull data from repos user didn't explicitly approve — Even if you can see other repos, respect boundaries
