StandupBot

A developer built StandupBot, a CLI tool that reads recent git commits and generates standup updates with sections for Yesterday, Today, and Blockers. The tool supports local execution via Ollama for free, or cloud-based Groq with automatic redaction of sensitive data. It features caching, cooldown, daily caps, customizable templates, and a scoring system for quality control.

A CLI tool that reads your recent git commits and generates a standup update β€” Yesterday / Today / Blockers, ready to paste into Slack, Jira, or wherever your team posts standups.

standup

That's the command. It reads commits from the last 24 hours (configurable), classifies them, and generates the summary.

Provider Cost Where it runs
Ollama Free 100% local
Groq Free tier Cloud

No subscription. Run it with Ollama and nothing leaves your machine.

If you use Groq, commit messages get scanned and redacted before they're sent β€” private IPs, internal hostnames, GitHub tokens, AWS keys, Slack tokens, API keys, credentialed URIs.

Cache key is a hash of your actual commit hashes. If nothing changed since your last standup, it serves the cached result instead of calling the LLM again. There's also a cooldown + daily cap so a script or a bad habit can't burn through a free tier's quota.

standup --template slack
standup --template jira
standup --raw
standup --copy

Five built-in templates, or define your own with a fixed set of variables ({yesterday}, {today}, {blockers}, {repos}, etc.), no arbitrary format-string injection.

Every generated standup gets scored 0-100. Set a minimum score and it retries with refined guidance up to twice before returning what it has.

pip install -e .
standup --setup

For Ollama:

ollama pull llama3

MIT-licensed. A few scoped "good first issue" tasks are open if you want to look at the codebase without needing full context first.
