Generate GitHub Standup Notes

Sprint Stand-Up Notes Generator

What It Does

This workflow generates your daily stand-up notes from your GitHub activity. Every weekday morning, it fetches your commits, pull requests, and issues from the last 24 hours. It then uses an AI agent to structure the information into the classic Done, In Progress, and Blockers format, delivering the final notes straight to your inbox before your standup call.

How It Works

What You Get

1. A daily HTML email with your stand-up notes ready to copy and paste.
2. Commits and pull requests organized by status (such as merged versus open).
3. Issues automatically categorized (for example, closed equals done, open plus assigned equals in progress).
4. Blockers clearly surfaced, including stale pull requests, failing checks, or unresolved issues.
5. Pull request and issue numbers included for quick reference.

Who It Is For

1. Software developers who attend daily standups.
2. Tech leads managing activity across multiple repositories.
3. Engineering managers tracking team contributions.
4. Scrum masters and agile coaches preparing for ceremonies.
5. Anyone who wants to walk into standup fully prepared without manually digging through their history.

Setup

1. Connect your GitHub account with read-only repository access.
2. Connect your Gmail account to allow sending mail.
3. Set the scheduled trigger time to match your local morning schedule (e.g., 8:30 AM UTC is 3:30 AM IST / 9:30 AM CET).
4. Publish the workflow to start receiving your stand-up notes the next weekday morning.
