Compress async standup updates into a skim

Async standup threads sprawl. Leaders need a skim: blockers, needs, shipped - not a scroll novel.

This hack: twelve minutes, compress updates into a skim. Skim beats a 30-minute circle.

When to use it

• The team posts async standups.
• Someone still needs a digest for decision-makers.
• You have today's updates in one channel.

When not to

• Nobody posted. Don't invent status.
• The standup is actually a conflict forum. Facilitate live.
• You're digesting to micromanage. Keep it blockers-and-needs.

Do this (timer on)

1. 1. Paste today's standup posts.
2. 2. Run the digest prompt.
3. 3. Highlight blockers that need a named owner today.
4. 4. Post the skim back to the channel.

Prompt (copy)

Compress these async standup updates into a skim.

Output:
- Shipped / moved
- Blockers (with owner if named)
- Asks between teammates
- Risks for lead attention
Max one page. No motivational fluff. Do not invent status.
