/wbStandup — Practical

Two forms

/wbStandup core2/ # monorepo-wide — morning default
/wbStandup <package>/ # package-scoped — afternoon re-orient

When to run

• Every morning. Literally first thing. Before /wbContext.
• After interruptions. Back from lunch, back from a meeting, returning to a branch you haven't touched in a week.
• Before starting a new feature. Clear the backlog view first, so you don't forget an open blocker.

When not to run

• Multiple times per hour. It's a fresh-pair-of-eyes command; reading the same standup twice adds no value.
• Right after you've done 10 commits. Your memory is still hot; you don't need the standup to remind you.

Reading the output

Four sections, ranked by what should grab your attention:

1. Unresolved findings (BLOCKERs / CRITICAL) — top priority
2. Stale reports (🔨 in progress > 24h) — verify before continuing
3. Open plans — ongoing work you can resume
4. Suggested next action — AI opinion, you decide

The value is in the surface

/wbStandup doesn't add information. Every finding it lists already exists in reports/. Its value is making you see it, at the moment you're choosing what to do next. Without the standup, you'd probably forget the 8-day-old security finding.

The /wbStandup → /wbContext handoff

Standup is breadth. Context is depth. Sequence:

1. /wbStandup core2/ — tells you which package needs attention.
2. /wbContext <that-package> — loads the AI's detailed knowledge of that package.
3. Execute.

Skipping the first → you work on the wrong package. Skipping the second → the AI works on the right package with stale context.

When /wbStandup is the wrong command

• "What does package X do?" → /wbContext <x>.
• "Is package X good?" → /wbAudit <x>.
• "What should I build next?" → /wbVision, not standup (standup reconciles existing work).
• "Did the AI finish its plan?" → /wbReview <plan>.

Flags & shortcuts

Documented shortcuts are listed below.

Long form	Shortcut
--act	-a
--wbPlan	-P

-h, --h, and --help are accepted on every /wb* command and print the manual instead of executing.
