Cross-Platform AI Agent Skill This skill works with any AI agent platform that supports the skills.sh standard.

Jira Daily - Standup Meeting Preparation

Smart standup report generator that analyzes work activity and provides structured updates for daily meetings. This skill complements the jira-cli skill, which provides general Jira CLI knowledge and command reference.

Anti-Hallucination Guidelines

CRITICAL: Standup reports must reflect ACTUAL work done:

1. Only list real tickets - Every ticket must come from jira CLI output
2. Verify completion - Only mark as "Completed" if status is Done/Closed/Released
3. Real commit counts - Use actual git log output, never estimate
4. Actual blockers - Only mention blockers explicitly in Jira or discussed
5. True metrics - Story points and progress from actual sprint data

Project Key Detection

Phase 1: Determine Project Key

Get the project key from (in order of priority):

1. Command argument: --project ABC or -p ABC
2. Jira CLI config: Read from ~/.config/.jira/.config.yml

# Try to get project key from jira CLI config
PROJECT_KEY=$(cat ~/.config/.jira/.config.yml 2>/dev/null | grep -A1 "^project:" | grep "key:" | awk '{print $2}')
echo "Detected project: $PROJECT_KEY"
If no project key found, ask the user to specify with `--project <KEY>`.

## Workflow

### Phase 2: Calculate Date Range

```bash
# Calculate since date (yesterday, or Friday if today is Monday)
if [[ $(date +%u) == 1 ]]; then
 # Monday - report from Friday
 SINCE_DATE=$(date -v-3d +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || date -d "3 days ago" +%Y-%m-%d)
else
 # Other days - report from yesterday
 SINCE_DATE=$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || date -d "yesterday" +%Y-%m-%d)
fi
echo "Reporting since: $SINCE_DATE"
### Phase 3: Gather Activity Data

```bash
# Get tickets updated recently
jira issue list --updated -1d --plain --columns key,summary,status,priority,type

# Get tickets moved to done/completed
jira issue list --jql "status changed to (Done, Released, Closed) after -1d AND assignee was currentUser" --plain

# Get tickets currently in progress
jira issue list --assignee $(jira me) --status "In Progress" "Code Review" "In Review" --plain

# Check for blockers
jira issue list --assignee $(jira me) --jql "labels = 'blocked' OR description ~ 'blocked'" --plain

# Get git activity
git log --author="$(git config user.email)" --since="$SINCE_DATE" --oneline --all --no-merges

# Count commits and files
git rev-list --count --since="$SINCE_DATE" --author="$(git config user.email)" --all 2>/dev/null || echo "0"
### Phase 4: Analyze with SubAgents (For Comprehensive Reports)

For detailed format, use parallel analysis:

Agent 1 - Work Classification:

• prompt: "Classify these Jira tickets into: Completed, In Progress, Blocked, Started. Base ONLY on actual status field. Return categorized list."
• agent-type: "general-purpose"

Agent 2 - Impact Analysis:

• prompt: "For completed tickets, summarize the business/technical impact based on ticket description and type. Keep it factual."
• agent-type: "general-purpose"

Agent 3 - Git Correlation:

• prompt: "Match git commits to Jira tickets by ticket ID in commit messages. Report which tickets have code changes."
• agent-type: "Explore"

Phase 5: Generate Report

Track sections completed with TodoWrite.

Output Formats

For detailed output format templates (default, brief, slack, manager), see references/output-formats.md.

Available formats:

• Default (Detailed): Full report with completed work, in-progress items, blockers, sprint progress, technical highlights, metrics, and schedule
• Brief (--format brief): Concise one-line-per-section format for quick standups
• Slack (--format slack): Formatted for Slack/Teams posting with markdown
• Manager (--format manager): Executive summary focusing on delivery highlights and risks

Command Options

--project <KEY> or -p <KEY>

Specify the Jira project key explicitly.

--since <date>

Override the automatic date calculation.

jira-daily --since 2025-01-20
### `--format <format>`
Choose output format for different audiences.
```bash
jira-daily --format brief # Concise version for quick standups
jira-daily --format detailed # Full version with technical details (default)
jira-daily --format slack # Formatted for Slack/Teams posting
jira-daily --format manager # Executive summary format
### `--include-planned`
Include tickets planned for today (not just completed/in-progress).

## Smart Features

### Context Awareness
- Detect Monday condition and report from last Friday
- Identify sprint boundaries and adjust progress tracking
- Recognize critical/blocking tickets and highlight urgency
- Correlate git commits with Jira ticket references

### Progress Intelligence
- Calculate sprint velocity and burndown trends
- Compare current productivity to historical averages
- Identify patterns in blocking issues
- Track code review participation and response times

### Goal Alignment
- Map completed work to sprint objectives
- Highlight work that unblocks teammates
- Identify contributions to team goals
- Suggest proactive communications

## Integration Points

### With jira-todo Skill
- Reference yesterday's planned work vs. actual completion
- Update priority recommendations based on standup outcomes

### With jira-cli Skill
- Use jira-cli for detailed command syntax and flag reference
- Refer to jira-cli workflows for sprint and epic management patterns

### With Development Tools
- Parse commit messages for automatic work categorization
- Link git branches to Jira tickets for complete picture
- Integrate with PR status for review workflow visibility

## Usage Examples

```bash
# Basic usage (auto-detects project, yesterday's activity)
jira-daily

# Specify project explicitly
jira-daily --project ABC

# Quick standup format
jira-daily --format brief

# For Slack posting
jira-daily --format slack

# For manager 1:1
jira-daily --format manager

# Custom date range
jira-daily --since 2025-01-15

# Weekly summary for manager
jira-daily --since $(date -v-7d +%Y-%m-%d) --format manager
## Daily Routine Integration

### Morning Preparation (5 minutes)
```bash
jira-daily --format brief
# Review and adjust for accuracy
# Copy to standup notes
### Standup Meeting (2 minutes per person)
- Read directly from generated report
- Add context or clarifications as needed
- Note any team dependencies or offers to help

### Manager 1:1s (weekly)
```bash
jira-daily --since $(date -v-7d +%Y-%m-%d) --format manager
## Quality Checklist

The report ensures the standup covers:
- [ ] Concrete accomplishments with business impact
- [ ] Clear current work with time estimates
- [ ] Specific blockers with escalation plans
- [ ] Team collaboration and knowledge sharing
- [ ] Sprint/goal alignment and risk identification
- [ ] Proactive communication about dependencies

## Important Notes

- **Requires jira-cli**: Install from https://github.com/ankitpokhrel/jira-cli
- **Config location**: `~/.config/.jira/.config.yml`
- **Project key**: Auto-detected from config or specify with `--project`
- **Git integration**: Uses local git repository for commit analysis
- **Real data only**: All metrics based on actual Jira and git data

### Phase 2: Calculate Date Range

```bash
# Calculate since date (yesterday, or Friday if today is Monday)
if [[ $(date +%u) == 1 ]]; then
    # Monday - report from Friday
    SINCE_DATE=$(date -v-3d +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || date -d "3 days ago" +%Y-%m-%d)
else
    # Other days - report from yesterday
    SINCE_DATE=$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || date -d "yesterday" +%Y-%m-%d)
