Qv Devops Daily Update

DevOps Daily Update

Composes a standup / EOD update in the team's standard Slack format and writes it to a temp file ready to paste. Sourced from the user's GitHub activity in tetherto/qvac plus optional Asana context.

The skill is read-only with respect to GitHub state and the local working tree. It NEVER posts the message — the user copies it manually. The canonical Slack form is documented in Step 8.

When to use this skill

Use when:

• User asks for a "daily update", "standup", "EOD", or "what did I do yesterday?"
• User invokes /qv-devops-daily-update
• User asks to draft a status post for the team channel

Prerequisites

• gh CLI installed and authenticated (gh auth status)
• User has access to tetherto/qvac
• Optional: Asana MCP available — surfaces today's assigned tasks (degrades gracefully if not)

Inputs

• Optional: --since <ISO date | Nd | Nw> — defaults to yesterday 00:00 in the user's local timezone. The default 24-hour lookback works for both EOD posts (late evening) and morning standups; extend it for Monday-after-weekend (--since 3d) or post-holiday (--since 1w).
• Optional: --format slack | markdown — defaults to slack. The Slack form is what gets pasted; Markdown is the chat preview form (**bold**, [text](URL)) and is also accepted by Asana rich-text comments.
• Optional: --no-asana — skip the Asana lookup even if the MCP is available.

If the user did not specify, default to yesterday 00:00 / slack.

Safety rules

This skill is read-only. It does NOT:

• Modify the user's working tree, branch, or any file under ~/.cache/
• Post to Slack, Asana, or GitHub
• Write secrets to any output (the assembler runs a regex scrub before file write; see step 7)

The skill MAY write its assembled output to /tmp/devops-daily-update-<YYYY-MM-DD>.txt so the user can pbcopy < <path>. The extension is .txt (not .md) because the canonical form is Slack mrkdwn, not GitHub-flavored Markdown.

Efficiency rules

Total shell calls per run: ≤ 6 (one per data source + one for the timestamp + one to write the temp file). Cache gh api user and reuse via Read for the rest of the session. If a data source errors (e.g., Asana MCP not configured), continue with that section's items missing from the aggregate rather than failing the whole skill — the canonical form does not have an "Asana" section, so missing Asana data only thins out the bullet pools, not the layout.

Workflow

1. Resolve the lookback window

SINCE="$(date -u -v-1d -j -f "%Y-%m-%d" "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%d)" +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ 2>/dev/null \
  || date -u -d 'yesterday 00:00' +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)"
echo "$SINCE"

Parse --since if provided (Nd → N days, Nw → N weeks, ISO date → that date 00:00 UTC).

2. Resolve the current user

gh api user --jq '.login' > /tmp/devops-daily-update-user.txt

Reuse via Read for the rest of the run.

3. Pull recently-merged PRs (mine)

gh search prs \
  --repo tetherto/qvac \
  --author "@me" \
  --merged-at ">=$SINCE" \
  --json number,title,url,closedAt \
  --limit 30 \
  > /tmp/devops-daily-update-merged.json

These feed 🔨 Done today. gh search prs --json does not expose mergedAt, additions, or deletions — only closedAt is available, and the --merged-at ">=$SINCE" filter already guarantees the result set is merged-in-window. If size signal is needed for the bullet wording, fetch it per-PR via gh pr view <num> --json additions,deletions (one extra call per PR — only do this when the user asks for it).

4. Pull my open PRs and reviews owed

node .agents/skills/_lib/pr-skills/pr-status.mjs --mode my \
  > /tmp/devops-daily-update-my.txt 2> /tmp/devops-daily-update-my.stderr
gh search prs \
  --repo tetherto/qvac \
  --review-requested "@me" \
  --state open \
  --json number,title,url,author,updatedAt \
  --limit 30 \
  > /tmp/devops-daily-update-reviews-owed.json

If pr-status.mjs stderr contains SLACK_VALIDATION_REQUIRED, follow the validation gate in pr-mine's workflow (step 2). Do not present the daily update until the gate clears.

Output routing:

• Open PRs I authored that received commits since $SINCE (i.e., I pushed work on them today) → 🔨 Done today with the action addressed comments on the PR (when the recent commits follow a review event) or pushed updates on <topic> (otherwise).
• Open PRs I authored without recent commits → 📅 Planned for tomorrow with the action continue / wrap up <topic>.
• Reviews owed (--review-requested "@me") → 📅 Planned for tomorrow as review #<num> — <title> by <author>. Cap surfaced reviews at 5 (sorted by updatedAt desc — most recent first); if the queue is longer, append a single line (+N more review requests in queue — run /qv-devops-pr-status for the full list). A standup with 30 review-bullets is unreadable.
• Open PRs I authored with mergeable: CONFLICTING → 🚧 Blockers / risks as conflicts on #<num> — needs rebase.
• Open PRs I authored with stale review requests (no review activity in >3 days) → 🚧 Blockers / risks as stale review on #<num> — pinged <reviewer> on <date>.

5. Pull recent CI runs (filter to mine)

gh run list does not have an author filter. Approximate the user's runs by scoping to recent PR head branches:

gh run list \
  --repo tetherto/qvac \
  --created ">=$SINCE" \
  --limit 50 \
  --json conclusion,event,headBranch,name,url,workflowName,headSha,displayTitle \
  > /tmp/devops-daily-update-runs.json

Filter client-side: keep runs where headBranch matches one of the user's PRs from steps 3 or 4. Failed runs feed 🚧 Blockers / risks as CI failing on #<num> — <workflowName>. In-progress / queued runs are NOT surfaced (too noisy for a daily update).

6. (Optional) Pull today's Asana tasks

If the Asana MCP is available and --no-asana was not passed, call the appropriate tool (read the descriptor first per the agentic-automation rule) to fetch the user's tasks. Filter to:

• Status = in-progress or due today/tomorrow → feed 📅 Planned for tomorrow as <TICKET>: <task title>
• Status = blocked → feed 🚧 Blockers / risks as <TICKET>: blocked — <reason from notes>

Asana tickets in the QVAC project follow the QVAC-\d+ format and slot directly into the bullet shape.

If Asana is unavailable or --no-asana is set, skip this step. The output will rely on GitHub-derived items only.
