Hey dev friends,
If you missed it last week — we open-sourced a growing library of Claude Code agents built against the Smartsheet MCP server, called CLI Power Tools. Each agent is a single-purpose tool you can run from your terminal to read, analyze, or draft content from your Smartsheet data. No UI, no manual copy-paste, no automatic publishing — you stay in control at every step.
The first three agents (the Launch Pack) covered bottleneck detection, task reassignment, and project cloning. This week we added the Daily Cadence Pack — three more agents designed to chain together into a pre-standup pipeline.
Here's how they work in sequence:
Step 1 — Scan for risk
> What's at risk across my active projects?
risk-scanner checks three signals: schedule (overdue or due within 7 days), blockers (status = Blocked or discussion thread keywords), and owner gaps (no CONTACT_LIST value). Returns a ranked list grouped by project. Strictly read-only.
Step 2 — Build your brief
> Build my standup brief from that.
standup-prep takes the scanner output and surfaces the top ~3 items worth raising, grouped into RISK / BLOCKERS / WATCH. Includes an ALSO CRITICAL section for high-signal items that didn't make the top cut.
Step 3 — Draft your comms
> Draft a Slack update from this.
status-comms-writer asks which format you want — Slack update, status email, or escalation — and drafts accordingly. Terminal output only. Nothing publishes automatically.
All three agents are read-only until you explicitly confirm an action. They also work independently — you don't have to run the full chain if you only need one step.
