The bot, configured via an app.json manifest, an agent definition, a formatting skill, and a React UI, runs on a cron schedule every weekday at 9 AM, and the resulting app can be packaged and installed by others.", "body_md": "# Kiro Crew lets you ship full apps in five minutes flat\n\nThe bot basically stalks my git commits from the last 24 hours and formats them into a \"What I Did / What's Blocked / What's Next\" list. It runs automatically every weekday at 9 AM and dumps the history into a custom dashboard page. It's a legitimate AI workflow that saves me from staring at a blank Slack channel for ten minutes.\n\nIf you want to try this from scratch, here is the actual blueprint.\n\n## The Architecture\n\nAn app here isn't just a script; it's a bundle. You can mix and match agents, [MCP](/en/tags/mcp/) servers, and UI pages. For this standup bot, the file structure looks like this:\n\n```\nstandup-bot/\n├── app.json ← manifest (identity + resources)\n├── agents/\n│ └── standup-agent.json ← agent definition\n├── skills/\n│ └── standup-format/\n│ └── SKILL.md ← formatting rules\n└── ui/\n └── src/App.tsx ← dashboard page\n```\n\n## Step-by-Step Deployment\n\n1. **The Manifest**: You need an `app.json`\n\n. This is where you tell the system what the hell this app is and what files it needs to load.\n\n```\n{\n \"name\": \"standup-bot\",\n \"version\": \"1.0.0\",\n \"displayName\": \"Daily Standup Bot\",\n \"description\": \"Auto-generates standup notes from git commits.\",\n \"author\": \"sarvar_04\",\n \"agents\": [\"agents/standup-agent.json\"],\n \"skills\": [\"skills/standup-format\"],\n \"ui\": {\n \"entry\": \"dist/index.mjs\",\n \"pages\": [{\n \"route\": \"/apps/standup-bot\",\n \"label\": \"Standups\",\n \"icon\": \"ClipboardList\"\n }]\n },\n \"crons\": [{\n \"name\": \"morning-standup\",\n \"cron_expr\": \"0 9 * * 1-5\",\n \"message\": \"Generate today's standup summary from my recent git logs.\"\n }]\n}\n```\n\n2. **The Agent**: Create `agents/standup-agent.json`\n\n. This defines the LLM's persona. I keep mine focused so it doesn't start waxing poetic about my commit messages.\n\n3. **The Skill**: This is just a markdown file in `skills/standup-format/SKILL.md`\n\n. It teaches the agent exactly how to format the output so it doesn't look like a wall of text.\n\n4. **The Dashboard**: You can actually write a React component in `ui/src/App.tsx`\n\nto create a dedicated page in the sidebar. This is where the bot posts the summaries.\n\n5. **The Automation**: The `crons`\n\nsection in the manifest handles the scheduling. No need to mess with system-level crontabs and pray they work; it's all handled by the orchestrator.\n\nThe beauty of this setup is that it's isolated. You aren't just adding a prompt to a global list; you're building a versioned tool. Once it's done, you can package it and other people can install it with a single command. It's basically an App Store for LLM agents. If you're tired of writing the same five prompts every morning, this is the way to actually automate the boredom.\n\n[Next GitHub Copilot Autofix can introduce security holes if you trust →](/en/threads/6690/)\n\n[a practical ChatGPT prompt guide](https://tanyan888.com/), with plenty of directly applicable cases.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/kiro-crew-lets-you-ship-full-apps-in-five-minutes-flat", "canonical_source": "https://promptcube3.com/en/threads/6805/", "published_at": "2026-08-18 16:00:54+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-18 16:13:26.705716+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "developer-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Kiro Crew", "MCP", "GitHub Copilot Autofix"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/kiro-crew-lets-you-ship-full-apps-in-five-minutes-flat", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/kiro-crew-lets-you-ship-full-apps-in-five-minutes-flat.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/kiro-crew-lets-you-ship-full-apps-in-five-minutes-flat.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/kiro-crew-lets-you-ship-full-apps-in-five-minutes-flat.jsonld"}}
