5.5 Daily Standup Memory Through Your Harness
A standup memory chain turns daily progress into searchable project history. In normal use, ask your MCP-connected coding agent to write the memory for you instead of running CLI commands by hand.
Save today's update
Use MentisDB to save today's standup update in the team-standup chain.
I finished invoice export retry handling, and I am blocked on staging credentials.
Before saving, search for related invoice-export blockers so this does not duplicate an existing memory. Include enough detail that tomorrow's agent can find this by searching for invoices, billing, staging credentials, backend work, or blocked standup items.Search yesterday's blockers
Search MentisDB in the team-standup chain for yesterday's blockers about staging credentials and invoice export. Summarize the top hits, who wrote them, and whether each blocker still looks unresolved.What the agent should do
- Search the standup chain before saving a new update.
- Save the update only if it will matter to future work.
- Include workflow labels like standup, backend, blocked, or done when saving.
- Include reusable topics like invoice export, staging credentials, billing, and invoices when saving.
- Connect the new update to any related blocker or previous completion it found.
Operator rule: if the agent cannot summarize what it searched and what it saved,
treat the standup as not saved.
