Standups

The Standups feature provides daily AI-generated standup summaries from your agent team. Each morning, the COO agent orchestrates a standup meeting — collecting reports from each agent and producing a consolidated summary.

Requires OpenClaw Gateway Standups Require the OpenClaw Gateway to be configured so the COO

agent can contact other agents. See OpenClaw Integration. :::

Standups

How standups work​

Every morning (at a time you configure), the OpenClaw Scheduler triggers the standup process:

  1. The COO agent creates a standup record and opens the meeting
  2. The COO contacts each agent (CTO, CPO, CMO) in sequence via sessions_send
  3. Each agent responds with their Yesterday / Today / Blockers report
  4. The COO reviews all reports, resolves any blockers, and escalates to you if human attention is needed
  5. The COO closes the standup with a summary and marks it complete

The entire process runs autonomously — you only get notified if something requires your attention.

Viewing standups​

Navigate to Standups in the sidebar to see the standup list and detailed notes.

Standup Notes

From the standups page you can view:

  • Latest standup — today's or the most recent standup
  • Standup history — all past standups

Each standup shows:

  • Status (running, completed, error)
  • Each agent's Yesterday / Today / Blockers report
  • The full conversation transcript
  • Completion time

Standup report format​

Each agent provides a structured report:

Yesterday: What I worked on yesterday
Today: What I plan to work on today
Blockers: Any blockers or issues to raise

The COO parses these responses and stores them as structured data, making it easy to scan across agents.

Setting up the daily standup​

Standups are triggered by a cron job in OpenClaw. The Scheduler UI in the dashboard lets you manage these scheduled tasks.

Scheduler

To set up the daily standup:

  1. Create a cron job in OpenClaw's /cron/jobs.json (or via the Scheduler UI):
{
  "name": "daily-standup",
  "description": "Trigger daily executive standup collection",
  "schedule": {
    "kind": "cron",
    "expr": "0 8 * * *",
    "tz": "Asia/Singapore"
  },
  "agentId": "coo",
  "sessionTarget": "isolated",
  "payload": {
    "kind": "agentTurn",
    "message": "Run the daily standup. Create a new standup record for today via POST /api/v1/standups, then run it via POST /api/v1/standups/:id/run using your agent credentials."
  },
  "enabled": true
}
  1. Adjust the expr (cron schedule) and tz (timezone) to your preferred time.

Running a standup manually​

You can trigger a standup manually from the Standups page:

  1. Click Run Standup (or Retry if the last standup failed)
  2. The standup will run immediately

This is useful for testing or re-running a failed standup.

Agent accounts​

For standups to work, each participating agent (COO, CTO, CPO, CMO) must have a user account in MosBot with the agent role and the correct agent_id set. These accounts are used by agents to authenticate to the MosBot API.

Create agent accounts under Settings → Users.

Troubleshooting​

Standup shows "error" status The standup failed to complete. Common causes:

  • No active agent users in the database
  • OpenClaw Gateway is unreachable
  • An agent timed out

Check the standup transcript for error details.

Agent shows "[Timeout]" in their report The agent didn't respond in time. This can happen if:

  • The agent is busy with another session
  • The OpenClaw Gateway connection was interrupted

The standup will still complete — timed-out agents are recorded but don't block the process.

Standup not running automatically Check that the cron job is configured in OpenClaw and enabled. Verify the timezone is correct.
