Today's Agent Skill: Auto-Draft Your Weekly Status Report
What It Does
Writing your weekly status update takes 15–30 minutes of mental archaeology — digging through tickets, emails, and calendar events to reconstruct what you actually did. Most people either skip it, write something vague, or send it late. This skill turns that archaeology into a 30-second trigger.
How It Works
The agent scans a configurable date range across your task manager, calendar, and optionally email, groups completed and in-progress work by project, and drafts a structured status report in your org's preferred format. It surfaces blockers automatically and previews next-week priorities so nothing slips between the cracks.
How to Deploy It
Drop the SKILL.md into your agent's skills directory and wire it to your task source (Jira, Asana, Linear, or a manual paste). Trigger it each Friday with 'draft my weekly status' — the agent handles the rest and flags any low-confidence bullets for your review.

## Description
Drafts a structured weekly status report by pulling recent activity from task managers, calendars, and optionally email. Eliminates manual archaeology and produces a consistent, professional update every week.
## Trigger
Phrases: "draft my weekly status", "write my weekly update", "generate status report", "what did I do this week", "prepare my Friday update"
## Input
- Date range: current week (Monday–Friday, or configurable)
- Sources (one or more):
- Task manager: completed/in-progress items (Jira, Asana, Todoist, Linear)
- Calendar: attended meetings and focus blocks
- Email: sent messages (optional, for external commitments)
- Manual notes: freeform context the user provides inline
## Steps
1. Determine the date range (default: current ISO week, Mon–Fri).
2. Retrieve completed and in-progress items from connected task sources for that range.
3. Retrieve calendar events attended (exclude declined; skip <15-min standups if configured).
4. Group items by project or workstream label.
5. For each group, draft 1–3 bullets: what was completed, what is in progress, any blockers.
6. Identify items that slipped from last week if a prior report is available in cCopy the full SKILL.md and drop it into your agent's skills directory to activate this skill.
