Auto-reply on Loom when a standup blocker is too vague to action
When a Loom standup mentions a blocker without enough detail to act on, post a Loom comment asking the recorder the specific follow-up questions needed to file it.

What it does
It closes the gap between "I'm blocked" and an actionable task. The workflow reads each new standup, and when a blocker is named but lacks the who/what/which-system detail needed to file it, it posts a targeted clarification comment directly on the Loom video instead of guessing or creating a useless ticket.
When to use it
Use it when your standup-to-board pipeline keeps producing vague tasks that engineers can't act on. It front-loads the missing context by asking the recorder while the work is fresh in their mind, so downstream task creation stays clean.
How it works
- 1A new Loom standup video triggers the workflow.
- 2The transcript is fetched and an OpenAI call scores each blocker for actionability and lists the specific missing details.
- 3A logic step branches on whether any blocker is too vague to file.
- 4For vague blockers, a clarification comment with pointed questions is posted on the Loom video.
- 5A note is sent to the recorder in Slack flagging that follow-up detail is needed before the blocker can be tracked.
