# Standup Prompt

Use `ai/state/current.md`, `ai/work-items/index.md`, the relevant files under `ai/work-items/`, `ai/state/work-items.md`, `ai/context/index.md`, `ai/context/project.md`, `ai/context/workstreams/index.md`, `ai/context/process/communication.md`, `ai/context/people/manager.md`, the previous workday Mattermost context, today's log if present, and the latest available Mattermost context.

Generate a standup update for an iOS engineer working on Fidelity.

Requirements:

- Use the most recent context only
- Be specific about what was worked on during the previous workday, not necessarily the previous calendar day
- On Mondays, use Friday's work context unless a later prior day has Mattermost activity
- If the previous calendar day has no work activity or is OOO/weekend, use the latest prior day with Mattermost activity
- Mention debugging findings only if they materially changed understanding
- Clarify auth-dependent behavior when relevant
- Mention Jira IDs and approved titles when they are available and clearly tied to the reported work
- Prefer including story titles whenever a reported update maps clearly to a Jira item
- Prefer story-based reporting when the work maps clearly to a Jira item
- Prefer updates directly tied to active work items over side questions, context refreshes, or manager-only reminders
- If documentation or root cause updates directly support a story, group that work under the related story instead of reporting it as a separate unrelated item
- Avoid vague phrases and generic progress language
- Separate the main issue from unrelated follow-up work unless both are explicitly relevant today
- Omit standup items that are not directly related to a story unless they are a real blocker
- Prefer evidence-backed statements over assumptions
- Write in natural US English that can be forwarded externally without rewriting
- Write the standup as David's external progress report
- Do not mention Jeff by name
- Do not mention Mattermost because it is internal-only communication
- Use bullet points for each item
- When pairing a Jira ID with a title, prefer `ID - Title` or `ID Title`; do not use commas between them
- Keep it concise and ready to send
