Today's Agent Skill: Weekly Project Status Digest
What It Does
Every Friday, someone asks you how the project is going — and you spend 20 minutes piecing together an answer from Slack threads, task lists, and half-remembered conversations. The weekly status update is one of the most time-consuming non-work pieces of work in any office. An agent can compile it for you in under a minute.
How It Works
This skill pulls from your task manager, calendar, and any linked notes or docs to construct a structured weekly digest: what got done, what's in progress, what's blocked, and what's coming next. It normalizes the output into a shareable format — ready to paste into Slack, email, or a standup doc — without you touching a single source system manually.
How to Deploy It
Add this SKILL.md to your Claude Code project or paste it into any SKILL.md-compatible agent runner. Point the agent at your task source (Notion, Linear, Airtable, or a plain text task file) and your calendar export, then trigger it each Friday morning or on demand.

# weekly-project-digest
## Description
Compiles a structured weekly project status digest from task data and calendar context. Produces a human-ready summary covering completions, in-progress work, blockers, and the upcoming week — formatted for Slack, email, or a standup doc.
## Trigger
User says: "draft my weekly update", "compile this week's status", "weekly digest", or "what did we ship this week"
## Input
- Task source: exported task list, Notion page, Linear query result, or plain-text file with tasks and statuses
- Date range: defaults to Monday–Friday of the current week
- Optional: calendar events for the week (for meeting context and upcoming deadlines)
- Optional: project name or team name for the header
## Steps
1. Parse the task source and categorize each item: DONE, IN PROGRESS, BLOCKED, or UPCOMING
2. Extract any calendar events marked as deadlines, reviews, or deliverables
3. Identify blockers — tasks with a blocked status or notes indicating a dependency not yet resolved
4. Group UPCOMING items by next-week proximity (within 7 days)
5. Draft the digest using the Output Format below
6. Flag any items that appear stale (in-progress for 5+ days with no update) witCopy the full SKILL.md and drop it into your agent's skills directory to activate this skill.
