status-report

A generator for polished status reports aimed at leadership or stakeholders, invoked as /status-report with an argument hint of a cadence (weekly, monthly, or quarterly) and a project or team. It turns a pile of project-tracker activity into a readable narrative that summarizes project health with green, yellow, or red status and surfaces the risks and decisions that need stakeholder attention.

The output follows a defined markdown structure: a header with author and date, an executive summary of three to four sentences, an overall status indicator, a key-metrics table with target, actual, trend, and status per KPI, an accomplishments list, an in-progress table with owner, status, ETA, and notes, a risks-and-issues table with impact, mitigation, and owner, a decisions-needed table with context, deadline, and recommended action, and a next-period priorities list. For risk matrix frameworks and severity definitions it points to a companion risk-assessment skill.

When connectors are available the report can be enriched automatically: a connected project tracker can pull status, completed items, and upcoming milestones and identify at-risk or overdue tasks; a connected chat tool can scan recent discussions for decisions and blockers and offer to post the finished report to a channel; and a connected calendar can reference key meetings from the period. The accompanying tips advise leading with the headline because busy leaders read the first few lines, being honest about risks to build trust, and making each decision easy by pairing it with context and a recommendation.
