StandupSensei

Overview

StandupSensei is an AI-powered daily standup agent that delivers a personalized developer briefing before you start coding. It automatically aggregates your GitHub activity, Linear sprint priorities, Sentry production errors, and PostHog metrics — then generates a concise, actionable standup summary delivered to Slack and email each morning. Perfect for solo developers and small-team engineers who need instant situational awareness without manual status gathering.

How It Works

1. List Pull Requests (GitHub) — Fetches all open PRs you authored and PRs awaiting your review, showing recent activity and review status
2. List Code Issues (GitHub) — Retrieves issues assigned to you with updates or comments from yesterday, keeping you aware of active conversations
3. Get Current Sprint (Linear) — Pulls the active cycle and all issues assigned to you, showing sprint context and priorities
4. Track Issue Movement (Linear) — Identifies issues moved to 'In Progress' or marked as blocked since your last standup
5. Fetch Production Errors (Sentry) — Scans for new unresolved errors from the last 12 hours above your configured severity threshold
6. Analyze Metric Trends (PostHog) — Detects anomalies in error rates, user drop-offs, and usage spikes overnight
7. Generate Standup Brief (Claude) — Synthesizes all data into a structured brief covering yesterday's wins, today's top 3 priorities, blockers, production alerts, and sprint context
8. Send Slack Message — Posts your personalized standup as a direct message for quick morning reference
9. Send Email (Gmail) — Delivers the same brief via email for async review during your day

Key Features

• Zero-Setup Morning Routine — Automated 8am daily trigger (weekdays) means you never manually compile standup data again
• Multi-Source Intelligence — Combines GitHub commits, Linear sprints, Sentry errors, and PostHog metrics into one coherent brief
• Production-Alert Integration — Immediately flags critical Sentry errors and metric anomalies so you're aware of "on fire" issues before meetings
• Dual Delivery Channels — Slack DM for quick morning check-in plus email archive for later reference during the day
• Context-Rich Prioritization — Ranks today's tasks by urgency and ties them to sprint goals, eliminating decision paralysis

Use Cases

• Solo Developers — Start every coding session with 2 minutes of full context instead of 20 minutes of manual catch-up
• Distributed Team Engineers — Get async standup summaries before team standups, enabling more focused discussion time
• On-Call Rotation — Instantly spot overnight production errors and metrics degradation without checking multiple dashboards
• Sprint Planning — Wake up aware of your sprint commitments, blocked issues, and pending reviews — ready to unblock teammates immediately
