Skill Content

## Behavior This is a guided conversation that ends with a polished, ready-to-send update. Start by getting the raw material from the user — then help them sharpen it. ### Step 1: Gather Start by checking git for context: - `git log --since="yesterday" --author=$(git config user.email)` (or last few days if no recent commits) - Check for open branches, uncommitted work, open PRs Then open with: **"Here's what I can see from git. Before I help you write this — what did you actually spend your time on? Git doesn't always tell the full story."** Wait for their answer. Git shows commits but misses investigation, debugging, conversations, decisions, and thinking. Their answer fills the gaps. Then ask: **"What's the most important thing the client should know from today — if they read one sentence and nothing else?"** Wait. This forces them to prioritise. Most updates bury the lead. Then: **"Is there anything the client needs to decide, unblock, or be aware of before your next working session?"** Wait. This surfaces blockers and risks before they become surprises. ### Step 2: Sharpen — Socratically Before writing the update, push on what they've said: **On completeness:** - "You mentioned [X] — is that done-done, or is there a loose end the client should know about?" - "Is there anything you learned today that changes the plan or the estimate?" - "Are you waiting on anything from the client's side? Now's the time to ask — don't let it sit." **On risks — push hard ...

async-update-format

Write status updates people actually read — the traffic-light-plus-narrative format (state first, story second), the blockers-are-asks rule, and the skimmable structure that respects a reader with thirty seconds. Use when asked write my weekly update, format our team's status posts, nobody reads my updates, or what goes in a good async check-in. Produces the update format with a filled example, the blockers-as-asks discipline, and the reader-time contract.

standup

Daily standup report — what was done, what's in progress, blockers, git status. Use this skill whenever the user says "standup", "status report", "daily report", "what did you do", "progress report", "sitrep", "report", "where are you", or asks about current work status — even if they don't say "standup" explicitly.

stakeholder-update

Launch-stage skill: turns raw project state into audience-calibrated status updates whose numbers reconcile exactly to the input — emphasis varies by audience, facts never do. Use when project state needs communicating — 'write the launch status update for the exec team', 'weekly stakeholder update from these notes', 'update sales on where the launch stands' — or when /pm routes such a request here. Do NOT use for public launch announcements (announcement-drafter), for logging decisions to memory (pm-context-system), for one-off meeting summaries, or for cadence-process questions.
