Today's Agent Skill: Auto-Generate Your Weekly Status Report
What It Does
Every Friday, knowledge workers spend 20–30 minutes reconstructing their week from Slack threads, task lists, and half-finished notes just to write a status report nobody fully reads. The raw material already exists — it just needs assembly. This skill turns scattered inputs into a clean, shareable status report in under a minute.
How It Works
The skill collects raw inputs — completed tasks, blockers, key decisions, and upcoming priorities — then structures them into a consistent report format your team actually expects. It normalizes tone, groups items by project or theme, and surfaces blockers prominently so nothing gets buried in a wall of bullet points.
How to Deploy It
Add the SKILL.md content below to your agent's skills directory as `weekly-status-report.md`. Trigger it each Friday by typing 'status report' or wire it to a cron job that fires at 4 PM on Fridays and pulls from your task manager's completed-items API.

## Description
Generates a structured weekly status report from raw work inputs. Designed for knowledge workers who maintain task lists, project notes, or daily logs but hate the assembly step. Produces a report ready to paste into email, Slack, or a project management tool.
## Trigger
User says: 'generate my status report', 'weekly update', 'status report', or 'what did I accomplish this week'
## Input
Accept any combination of the following (agent should prompt for what's missing):
- List of completed tasks (free-form or structured)
- Active blockers or escalations
- Key decisions made
- Priorities for next week
- Optional: team or audience name
- Optional: reporting period (defaults to current week Mon–Fri)
## Steps
1. Parse all inputs and classify each item as: Completed Work, Blocker, Decision, or Next Week Priority
2. Group Completed Work items by project or theme (infer from context if not labeled)
3. Write a 1-sentence executive summary of the week's output
4. Format blockers with owner and age if available; flag anything unresolved >3 days
5. List next week's priorities in descending importance order (max 5 items)
6. Apply consistent, neutral-professional tone — no fillCopy the full SKILL.md and drop it into your agent's skills directory to activate this skill.
