• Standup time: 5-7 AM (hardcoded range)
• Time zone: “PT” (Pacific Time)
• Default time: “6 AM PT”

User Config Needed:

{
  "standup_timing": {
    "preferred_time": "06:00",
    "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles",
    "time_range_hours": 2
  }
}

3. Integration Preferences

Location: cli/commands/standup.py Current Hardcoding:

• CLI flags: --with-issues, --with-documents, --with-calendar
• Default behavior: All integrations enabled

User Config Needed:

{
  "integrations": {
    "github": true,
    "calendar": true,
    "issue_intelligence": true,
    "document_memory": true
  }
}

4. User Identity Configuration

Location: services/features/morning_standup.py Current Hardcoding:

• Default user_id: “xian”
• User context: “Christian is a Product Manager/Developer”

User Config Needed:

{
  "user_identity": {
    "user_id": "xian",
    "name": "Christian",
    "role": "Product Manager/Developer",
    "context": "working on Piper Morgan platform"
  }
}

Configuration Injection Points

1. CLI Layer

File: cli/commands/standup.py Line: 44-50 (StandupCommand.init) Injection Point: User preferences loading Current: Hardcoded service initialization Needed: Load user configuration for integration selection

2. Orchestrator Layer

File: services/features/morning_standup.py Line: 49-60 (MorningStandupWorkflow.init) Injection Point: Integration selection and user context Current: Hardcoded user_id = “xian” Needed: Load user identity and integration preferences

3. Data Sources

Files:

• services/integrations/github/github_agent.py
• services/features/issue_intelligence.py
• services/knowledge_graph/document_service.py

Injection Point: Repository/service configuration Current: Hardcoded repository references Needed: Load GitHub configuration from user settings

4. Response Formatter

File: services/intent_service/canonical_handlers.py Injection Point: Question customization and content Current: Hardcoded questions and priorities Needed: Load standup questions and user priorities
