Today's Agent Skill: Auto-Generate Your Weekly Status Report
What It Does
Every Friday, knowledge workers burn 20–45 minutes reconstructing what they actually did from scattered Slack threads, calendar events, and half-finished task lists. The report itself adds no value — the synthesis does, but humans are the wrong tool for it. An agent that pulls your week's activity and drafts the report lets you spend those 45 minutes reviewing instead of writing.
How It Works
The skill ingests three sources: a list of completed tasks or tickets (pasted or pulled from a tool), calendar events from the current week, and any raw notes the user provides. It groups work into themes, surfaces blockers and decisions made, and quantifies output where possible (e.g., 'closed 7 tickets across 2 initiatives'). Output is a structured narrative in the format your team expects — not bullet soup.
How to Deploy It
Drop the SKILL.md content into your agent's skills directory and trigger it by typing 'generate my status report' followed by your raw inputs. The skill works with any SKILL.md-compatible agent — paste your task list and calendar export directly into the prompt, or wire it to a task manager integration if your agent supports tool calls.

## Description
Generates a polished weekly status report from raw inputs: task lists, calendar events, and freeform notes. Groups work thematically, surfaces blockers and decisions, and formats output to match a professional standup or stakeholder update.
## Trigger
- "generate my status report"
- "write my weekly update"
- "draft my Friday report"
- "summarize my week"
## Input
User provides one or more of the following (paste directly into the prompt):
- **Tasks completed**: bullet list, Jira/Linear export, or freeform text
- **Calendar events**: copy-pasted from calendar app (event names + durations sufficient)
- **Notes**: any additional context — blockers encountered, decisions made, things deprioritized
- **Report format preference** (optional): e.g., "executive summary style", "engineering standup format", "OKR-aligned"
## Steps
1. Parse all provided inputs and extract discrete work items, meetings, and events.
2. Cluster items into 2–5 thematic groups (e.g., "Product Development", "Stakeholder Coordination", "Process/Admin"). Rename clusters to match the user's domain if inferable.
3. Within each cluster, write 1–3 sentences summarizing what was accomplished, using activCopy the full SKILL.md and drop it into your agent's skills directory to activate this skill.
