FAQ
Does my manager see my draft?
No. The draft is only for you. Your manager sees only what you confirmed and sent.
Can Standcast send a daily for me?
No. Every daily needs your explicit confirmation. The skill and the MCP server ask you before sending, and the public API has no way to send a daily.
Can I edit my daily after sending it?
Yes, send it again the same day. The new version replaces the old one. If the digest already went out, your first late daily is posted in the thread; later versions are stored and sent to webhooks, but not posted again.
I sent my daily on Saturday. Where did it go?
It counts for the next workday of your first team, so it shows up in Monday's digest.
I am in two teams. Do I write two dailies?
No. One daily per day per organization. It appears in the digest of every team you are in.
I work for two organizations that use Standcast.
You write one daily for each. The CLI asks for --org and the MCP tools for org when you belong to more than one.
Which agents can I use?
Claude Code through the skill. Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, VS Code and any other MCP client through the MCP server. Without an agent, use the CLI.
Does Standcast use AI on my data?
No. No LLM processes your data on the Standcast servers. Your agent runs on your machine, with your own account. See Privacy.
Does Standcast measure productivity?
No. There are no rankings, scores, commit counts per person or per-person aggregates anywhere.
Does it work with Google Chat, Linear or Jira?
Linear works today: your cards appear in your draft, card blockers are routed and stale cards become suggestions. See Install. Google Chat and Jira are coming soon. Today the digest goes to Slack.
Are there reminders for people who did not send the daily?
Yes. At remind_at, people who have not sent the daily get one direct message in Slack, at most once per day. See How it works.
Does my manager see the blockers Standcast suggests?
No. Suggested blockers show only to you, in your draft. Your manager sees a blocker only after you add it to your daily.
Who receives my blocker?
Each new blocker goes once by direct message to the reviewers of the linked pull request, or its CODEOWNERS, or the team managers. See Blocker routing.
Can I configure Standcast without a .github repository?
No. The configuration lives only in standcast.yml at the root of the .github repository. A private .github repository works.
Can I run Standcast on my own servers?
No. Standcast is a hosted service. The code is open source under the MIT license.
