Today's Agent Skill: Auto-Generate Your Weekly Status Report
What It Does
Writing a weekly status report is one of those tasks that takes 20 minutes and feels like 2 hours. You already know what you did — you just need to package it into something stakeholders can skim. This skill drafts the whole thing from your raw notes so you never stare at a blank doc again.
How It Works
The skill ingests unstructured input — a task list, bullet-point brain dump, or copied Jira board — and reorganizes it into a polished report with sections for accomplishments, in-progress work, blockers, and next-week priorities. It calibrates detail level to the specified audience, tightening executive summaries and expanding team-sync context as needed.
How to Deploy It
Drop SKILL.md into your agent's skills folder and trigger it by sending 'status report' or 'weekly update' alongside your raw notes. Compatible with any SKILL.md-aware agent including Claude Code, ClaudeClaw, or a custom Anthropic SDK agent.

## Description
Generates a formatted weekly status report from unstructured or semi-structured input — task lists, bullet notes, or free-form brain dumps. Outputs a clean, audience-calibrated report ready to paste into email, Notion, or Slack.
## Trigger
Activates when the user message contains 'status report', 'weekly update', or 'write my standup' alongside raw input data.
## Input
- Raw task list, completed items, or bullet-point notes from the week
- Optional: audience type (executive, team, client) — defaults to 'team' if omitted
- Optional: project name or author name for the report header
## Steps
1. Parse the input and categorize items into: Completed This Week, In Progress, Blocked, and Planned for Next Week.
2. For each completed item, extract the outcome or impact (not just the action taken) where inferable from context.
3. For blocked items, identify the blocker type: dependency, decision needed, or resource gap.
4. Calibrate verbosity to audience: executives get one-sentence bullets; teams get 2-3 sentences of context where useful.
5. Draft the report with a header (author, week of, project), four labeled sections, and a one-sentence TL;DR at the top.
6. Review eachCopy the full SKILL.md and drop it into your agent's skills directory to activate this skill.
