Automation
Daily task standup
A morning digest of what is due, late, and waiting on you.
What it asks you for
- Runsrequired
- When the digest arrives.
- Which lists
- Leave blank for every list you can see.
What it tells the AI to do
Set up a daily task standup.
- Runs: {{ schedule.human }} ({{ schedule.timezone }}), cron `{{ schedule.cron }}`
- Lists: {{ scope | default("everything visible") }}
Create it with `automation create`, passing the cron and timezone verbatim.
They came from a validated picker; do not re-derive them.
The digest has three sections and no others: due today, overdue, and waiting on
someone else. Overdue leads, because that is the section people act on.
Two rules keep it readable. Never print a task without its owner and its date,
and send nothing at all on a day where all three sections are empty. A standup
that arrives every morning saying "nothing due" is training its reader to
archive it unopened.- automation
