Today's Agent Skill: Auto-Generate Your Weekly Status Report
What It Does
Every Friday, professionals burn 30–45 minutes piecing together a status update from scattered notes, Slack threads, and half-remembered accomplishments. The report is mandatory, but the assembly is pure overhead. This skill drafts a polished weekly status digest in under 60 seconds — no blank-page paralysis required.
How It Works
The skill accepts a raw brain-dump — bullet points, Slack snippets, task list exports, or freeform notes — and structures them into a standard three-section status report: Completed This Week, In Progress, and Blockers/Needs. It infers priority and groups related items automatically, then formats the output to match your org's preferred style (email body, Notion block, or plain Markdown).
How to Deploy It
Add the SKILL.md content below to your agent's skill library as `weekly-status-digest.md`. Trigger it each Friday by pasting your raw notes with the phrase 'generate my weekly status' — the agent handles the rest without further prompting.

# weekly-status-digest
## Description
Transforms unstructured weekly notes — bullet points, task exports, Slack snippets — into a clean, executive-ready status report with three canonical sections: Completed, In Progress, and Blockers.
## Trigger
Activates when the user says any of: "generate my weekly status", "write my status report", "weekly digest", "status update from my notes", or pastes a block of notes with intent to summarize the week.
## Input
- Raw notes in any format: bullets, prose, numbered lists, or mixed
- Optional: target audience (manager, team, exec) — defaults to manager-level
- Optional: output format (email, Markdown, Notion) — defaults to Markdown
- Optional: team or project name for the report header
## Steps
1. Parse the raw input and identify discrete work items, distinguishing completed tasks from ongoing work and any mentioned blockers or dependencies.
2. Group related items under logical themes (e.g., "Client Deliverables", "Internal Projects") if three or more items share a common thread; otherwise list items flat.
3. Draft the **Completed This Week** section: past-tense, verb-led bullets, most impactful item first.
4. Draft the **In Progress** secCopy the full SKILL.md and drop it into your agent's skills directory to activate this skill.
