Today's Agent Skill: Auto-Generate Your Weekly Status Report
What It Does
Writing your weekly status report takes 20–45 minutes every Friday — time you spend hunting through emails, Slack threads, and calendar invites to reconstruct what you actually did. Most of that assembly is mechanical, not thinking. An agent can do the assembly; you just approve the output.
How It Works
The skill ingests whatever inputs you provide — task list exports, calendar summaries, sent email excerpts, raw notes — and structures them into a formatted status report grouped by project, with accomplishments, blockers, and next-week rollover surfaced automatically. It works from a brain dump, so you don't need to pre-organize anything.
How to Deploy It
Drop SKILL.md into your agent's skills folder and trigger it each Friday with 'generate my weekly status report' plus any raw notes or data you want included. For fully automated drafts, wire it to your task manager's export or pipe in a calendar summary before the trigger.

## Description
Assembles a formatted weekly status report from disparate inputs — task completions, calendar events, sent emails, and freeform notes — into a structured document ready for manager review or team distribution.
## Trigger
Phrases: "generate my weekly status report", "write my weekly update", "draft my Friday report", "compile this week's status", "weekly wrap-up"
## Input
- Date range (defaults to Monday–Friday of current week)
- One or more of: task list export, calendar summary, sent email excerpts, raw freeform notes
- Optional: existing team report template or preferred section format
- Optional: your name and team for header population
## Steps
1. Parse all provided inputs and extract: completed tasks, attended or facilitated meetings, sent communications, key decisions made, and any items explicitly marked as blocked or delayed.
2. Group extracted items by project or workstream. If no clear grouping exists, infer from context or use a flat list.
3. Identify blockers — anything incomplete due to a dependency, waiting on someone else, or explicitly flagged as stuck.
4. Identify next-week rollover — incomplete tasks, upcoming deadlines visible in calendar, or itCopy the full SKILL.md and drop it into your agent's skills directory to activate this skill.
