The standup is the update
Record your standup once. Let AI update the board, team notes and Slack. Only step in when something is ambiguous.
A reusable skill, setup sheet, starter prompt and worked example in one ZIP.
The first part is open below. The download adds: put the skill to work.

What's inside
- The skill that matches spoken changes to existing work and applies clear updates
- A setup sheet for your board, team notes and Slack channel
- A starter prompt for each recorded standup
- A worked example where clear updates happen while one duplicate question waits
Stop typing the same update twice
You just said what changed in the standup. Your board should already know.
Give AI the transcript and connect the tools your team uses. Save the repeatable steps in a skill. It can match spoken changes to existing work, update clear tasks, catch duplicates and send the Slack summary. You answer the questions the recording couldn't settle.
Set the team, board, notes page and Slack channel once. Agree which routine changes can run without another approval. Then use the same saved setup for each standup.
- A named task is finished: update its status.
- A clear new task has no existing match: create it.
- Two tasks could be the same work: ask about that item and finish the rest.
Start with the board you already have. If you're still choosing which job to give AI, use the Job Picker first.
