SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Archive the completed standup and initialize a fresh draft for the next supervisor meeting, carrying over unchecked tasks, backlog items, and performance snapshots.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pre-flight checks ensure the required standup infrastructure files exist and are readable.
  • Reads the standup_draft_formatting.md template to reuse the standard structure for the new draft.
  • Reads the standup_draft_archive.md to extract carryover: unchecked PRIMARY and SECONDARY tasks, backlog items, and the complete Performance Snapshot.
  • Increments the Meeting number by reading the archive header and prepares a new draft with carried-over items and empty sections for Progress Log and Non-Technical Summary.
  • Writes the new draft to project_updates/standup_draft.md and preserves the archive history.
  • Supports optional input to insert new PRIMARY tasks at the top of the PRIMARY section.

What is the best way to archive a completed standup and prepare a new meeting draft?

The best way to archive a completed standup is to run an initialization skill that preserves the old draft in history and generates a fresh template-driven draft for the next supervisor meeting.

Can I add new primary tasks to the top of my standup draft when initializing it?

Yes, you can add new primary tasks to the top of your standup draft by providing optional input during the initialization process, which prioritizes them above carried-over items.

Do I need specific project files to generate a standup draft with task tracking?

Yes, you need specific project files including the standup_draft_formatting.md template and the standup_draft_archive.md, which are verified during pre-flight checks to build the new draft.

How does the standup initialization process handle backlog items and performance snapshots?

The standup initialization process handles backlog items and performance snapshots by extracting them from the archive and carrying them over directly into the new draft to preserve continuity.
