Daily Standup

Generate a concise standup report by querying the backlog.

Process

Done — call
```
task_list
```
with filter
```
status:completed end.after:now-1d
```
to show tasks completed in the last 24 hours. If empty, try
```
end.after:now-7d
```
for the last week.
In progress — call
```
task_list
```
with filter
```
+ACTIVE
```
to show tasks currently being worked on.
Blocked — call
```
task_list
```
with filter
```
+BLOCKED status:pending
```
to show tasks waiting on dependencies. For each, identify which task is blocking it.
Up next — call
```
task_list
```
with filter
```
status:pending
```
and pick the top 3 by urgency that are NOT blocked. These are what should be worked on next.
Overdue — call
```
task_count
```
with filter
```
+OVERDUE
```
to flag any overdue tasks.

Format

Present as a brief, scannable report:

**Done**: [completed tasks or "nothing recent"]
**In progress**: [active tasks or "nothing started"]
**Blocked**: [blocked tasks and what's blocking them, or "none"]
**Up next**: [top 3 actionable tasks by urgency]
**Overdue**: [count, or skip if 0]

Keep it concise — this is a quick status check, not a full report. Skip sections that are empty.
