Standup notes

Daily standup notes, newest first. Claude Code writes yesterday from your commits; ChatGPT or Claude from what you tell it.

For developers who'd rather not reconstruct yesterday from memory at 9:58.

Free. Paste the prompt into ChatGPT or Claude with Amber Notes connected: it creates the note, then fills it in. For Claude Code, use its tab below. No Amber Notes yet? Download it for Mac.

Tell your AI

First, look for a note called "Standup notes" in my Amber Notes with search_notes. If there isn't one, create it with create_note in the folder "Work", using exactly the markdown at the end of this message, the <!-- pane-table --> line included (it gives the table's columns their types). Then: Use my Amber Notes note "Standup notes". Each morning I'll tell you what I did yesterday and what's next. Add a section at the start of "Days" with append_to_note (at_start): a "###" heading with today's date, then Yesterday, Today and Blockers as short bullets. Anything blocked also goes under "Blockers"; when I say it's unblocked, remove it with edit_note.

Paste it into a chat in ChatGPT with Amber Notes turned on. That chat keeps it; paste it again when you start a new one.

Then just talk to it

  • Write today's standup.
  • What was I blocked on last week?
  • Summarize my standups since Monday for the sprint review.

What you'll get

The same note after a few days of talking to your AI. Tinted lines are what it added, the way Amber Notes shows an AI's changes, with Undo and the earlier version kept in the note's history.
