## Description

Input: raw standup entries from 4-15 people (yesterday / today / blockers format, pasted or from a Slack channel). Output: a single team digest with Blockers at the top, a thematic summary of yesterday's work in the middle, and a list of today's commitments at the bottom. Noise-free — routine 'continued working on X' entries get collapsed.

## Why it works

In async standups, the signal is the blockers and the new commitments. Everything else is scroll-past content. A synthesis that re-orders the content by signal-to-noise reclaims 10 minutes a day per reader and makes blockers impossible to miss.

## How it works

1. Normalize each person's entry into (yesterday, today, blockers) tuples. 2. Blocker extraction is done first and independently — anything flagged goes to the top verbatim with the person's name. 3. Yesterday synthesis: cluster bullets by project/topic and emit one bullet per cluster with contributor list. 4. Today commitments: enumerate each person's top 1-2 items with owner. 5. Emit as markdown sized for a Slack post, under a configurable character limit.
