Standups & Retrospectives

Open Astra can automatically generate standup reports from agent activity and run structured retrospectives after tasks complete.

Standup reports

Standup reports summarize what each agent accomplished during a time period — tasks completed, decisions made, tools used, and any blockers. The default lookback is 24 hours.

bash

# Generate a standup report (defaults to last 24 hours)
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/standups/generate \

  -d '{
    "agentIds": ["research-agent", "code-agent"],
    "since": "2026-03-06T09:00:00.000Z"
  }'

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`teamId`	string	—	Filter by team
`agentIds`	string[]	all agents	Filter to specific agents
`since`	ISO date	24 hours ago	Start of reporting period

Retrospectives

After a multi-agent task completes, trigger a retrospective to collect reflections from each participating agent. A coordinator agent synthesizes the reflections into action items.

The retrospective process:

Each agent reflects on what went well, what went poorly, and suggestions
A coordinator synthesizes all reflections into a summary
Action items are generated from the synthesis

Retrospective endpoints

Method	Endpoint	Description
`POST`	`/retrospectives`	Trigger a retrospective (requires `taskDescription` and `agentResults`)
`GET`	`/retrospectives`	List retrospectives
`GET`	`/retrospectives/:id`	Get retrospective details with reflections and action items
