Today's Agent Skill: Auto-Draft Your Weekly Status Report

What It Does

Every Friday, knowledge workers spend 20–40 minutes reconstructing what they did from calendar events, Slack threads, and vague memory. The result is usually incomplete, undersells real output, and eats prime focus time. An agent that drafts this for you turns a painful ritual into a 90-second review.

How It Works

The skill queries the week's calendar events, pulls any task-completion signals the user pipes in (completed todos, closed tickets, sent emails), and synthesizes them into a structured status report grouped by project. It infers accomplishments, flags blockers, and surfaces carry-over items — then outputs a draft ready to paste into email or Slack.

How to Deploy It

Add the SKILL.md content below to your agent's skills directory and name it weekly-status-report.md. Trigger it each Friday afternoon by typing 'draft my weekly status' or wire it to a recurring cron that fires at 4 PM every Friday.

## Description
Drafts a structured weekly status report from calendar events, completed tasks, and user-supplied context. Eliminates manual recall and produces a paste-ready update in under two minutes.

## Trigger
- User says: 'draft my weekly status', 'write my Friday update', 'generate status report', or 'what did I do this week'
- Cron fires at scheduled weekly review time

## Input
- Date range: current week (Monday–Friday)
- Calendar events for the week (titles + attendees, no body content required)
- Optional: list of completed tasks, closed tickets, or merged PRs
- Optional: user-typed context ('we launched X', 'blocked on Y')

## Steps
1. Parse calendar events and group by inferred project or team (use attendee overlap and keyword matching on event titles)
2. Cross-reference any completed task list or ticket data supplied by the user
3. For each project group, synthesize: what was done, decisions made, blockers encountered
4. Identify items that appear started but not completed — flag as carry-over
5. Draft the report in the output format below
6. Append a one-line 'Next week focus' section using carry-over items and any context the user provided

## Output Format
**Weekly
