Today's Agent Skill: Weekly Status Digest Builder
What It Does
Every Friday, someone on your team spends 90 minutes copy-pasting updates from Jira, Slack, and email into a status report nobody fully reads. The context-switching alone costs more than the meeting it replaces. This skill automates the aggregation and drafts a polished digest before you've finished your morning coffee.
How It Works
The skill pulls structured input from project tickets, recent email threads, and freeform notes, then synthesizes them into a tiered status report — accomplishments, blockers, and next-week priorities grouped by project or workstream. It formats output as a ready-to-send email or Slack post, calibrated to your audience.
How to Deploy It
Drop SKILL.md into your agent's skills directory and trigger it each Friday morning with a summary of your active projects attached. Works with any SKILL.md-compatible agent — point it at inbox exports, a Jira CSV, or plain bullet notes from your week.

## Description
Aggregates project updates from multiple input sources and generates a structured weekly status digest ready to share with stakeholders.
## Trigger
Phrases like "build my status report", "weekly digest", "end of week update", "generate status report", or any request mentioning a weekly summary with project context attached.
## Input
- One or more of: recent email threads, Jira/Linear ticket exports (CSV or plain text), Slack message excerpts, freeform bullet notes
- Optional: recipient type (exec summary vs. team-level detail)
- Optional: project or workstream names to group by
## Steps
1. Parse all input sources and extract update fragments: completed tasks, in-progress items, blockers, and upcoming milestones.
2. Deduplicate overlapping mentions of the same item across sources.
3. Group updates by project or workstream. If no groupings are specified, infer from recurring noun phrases.
4. Classify each item as: Done, In Progress, Blocked, or Upcoming.
5. Draft an executive summary (2-3 sentences) capturing the week's overall theme or momentum.
6. Generate a tiered output: executive summary → per-project breakdown → blocker callouts → next-week priorities.
7. FormCopy the full SKILL.md and drop it into your agent's skills directory to activate this skill.
