Standup Prep

Overview

Stop spending 10 minutes every morning trying to remember what you did last week. The Standup Prep skill pulls data from your Google Calendar, Gmail, and Asana, then synthesizes it into a clean standup update with what’s done, what’s next, and what’s blocked.

Data Sources

The skill pulls from three sources to build your update:

Google Calendar — Past 7 days of events (meetings attended, key activities)
Gmail — Sent emails from past 7 days (completed work, decisions made, threads closed)
Asana — Open tasks assigned to you in your workspace

How It Works

Pulls calendar events from the past 7 days
Pulls sent emails from the past 7 days
Pulls open Asana tasks (incomplete, assigned to you)
Synthesizes everything into three standup sections

Output Format

The skill generates a structured update in this format:

## What's Been Done (Top 3)

1. **[Major accomplishment]** — 1-2 sentence detail with specifics
2. **[Major accomplishment]** — 1-2 sentence detail with specifics
3. **[Major accomplishment]** — 1-2 sentence detail with specifics

---

## Priority Items for Today

1. **[Priority]** — Context or next action
2. **[Priority]** — Context or next action
3. **[Priority]** — Context or next action

---

## Blockers

**[Blocker name]** — What's blocking, who can unblock, suggested action

Or: "No blockers identified."

Guidelines

Done section: Focuses on completed or progressed work visible in sent emails — decisions made, deliverables shipped, meetings that moved things forward. Limited to the 3 most significant items.
Priorities section: Inferred from today’s calendar, open Asana tasks with due dates, and active email threads requiring response.
Blockers section: Looks for stalled email threads (no response), declined meetings, or calendar conflicts. Flags anything waiting on external parties.
