How do I set up slack standup digest automation?
slack-standup-digest automates standup collection by scanning your chosen Slack channels on a schedule you define.

Can I create slack standup summary automation that runs on a schedule?

What channels can slack-standup-digest scan?
slack-standup-digest scans any Slack channels you designate as sources. Select multiple channels if your team spreads updates across different projects or topics, and the skill will aggregate all activity into one organized digest grouped by project.
