About

A weekly recap agent for ops leads and team managers who want a clear picture of the week without asking anyone to write a status update. It reads the real activity in your public Slack channels and turns it into a structured standup, then posts it to the team channel once you approve.

What it does

The agent compiles a per-person breakdown of what got done, what is in progress and what is explicitly blocked, with every line traced back to the messages it came from. It also pulls together the week's shipped changelog so the team can see what actually went out. When someone has no visible update, the recap never labels them inactive: it simply reflects what the channels show.

The finished recap goes to you first. Nothing posts to the team channel until you approve it.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the agent runs against your public Slack channels and reads the week's activity.
  2. It applies its compilation rules to sort messages into done, in-progress and explicitly-blocked, and keeps each line tied to its source messages.
  3. It marks and assembles the shipped changelog for the week.
  4. It formats the recap and sends it for your review before posting to the team channel.

The agent runs every Friday afternoon by default, so the recap is ready to close out the week. It follows a fixed set of rules for per-person compilation, changelog markers and recap format, keeping each weekly summary consistent and easy to read.

Team Week Recap

Compiles the weekly standup nobody has to fill in: per-person done / in-progress / explicitly-blocked from the real activity in your public channels, every line traced to its messages, plus the week's shipped-changelog — posted to the team channel after your approval. No visible update never means inactive.

Frequently asked questions

Which accounts do I need to connect?

You need a Slack account. The agent reads activity from your public Slack channels and posts the approved recap back to your team channel. Setup takes about 10 minutes.

How often does the recap run?

It runs once a week, every Friday afternoon by default (cron 0 15 * * 5), so the recap is ready to close out the week. The schedule can be adjusted if you want a different day or time.

Does anyone on the team have to write a status update?

No. The agent reads the real activity in your public Slack channels and compiles the standup from it, so nobody fills in a form or writes a status. It sorts messages into done, in-progress and explicitly-blocked on its own.

Does the recap post to the team channel automatically?

No. The finished recap goes to you first for review, and nothing posts to the team channel until you approve it. You stay in control of what the team sees.

What does the finished recap actually contain?

It includes a per-person breakdown of what got done, what is in progress and what is explicitly blocked, with every line traced back to its source messages. It also assembles the week's shipped changelog so the team can see what went out.

Will someone be marked inactive if they had no visible update?

No. When someone has no visible update, the recap never labels them inactive. It only reflects what the public channels show, so a quiet week in Slack is not read as no work.
