Tips

Run it every morning — Build a habit and never scramble for standup notes.
Add context — After I generate, add any nuance about blockers or priorities.
Share format — Ask me to format for Slack, email, or your team's standup tool.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take anthropics/standup from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
