Weekly Progress Summary (Fridays)

A higher-altitude rollup than the twice-daily pulse — meant for stakeholders, not just yourself. Runs once a week, typically Friday afternoon.

Steps

1. Pull the week's activity through the official MCP servers (same connectors as jira-progress-pulse — Linear MCP and the official Atlassian Remote MCP server) rather than ad hoc API calls:

   • Linear: issues completed/updated in the cycle (list_issues with date filters, list_cycles)
   • Jira: JQL like project = X AND updated >= -7d, plus a sprint/board view for burndown context
   • Using the official connectors means auth and rate-limit handling are already solved — and the same connection serves both this skill and the daily pulse, no duplicate setup.

2. Organize into:

   ## Week of <date> — <Project> Summary
   
   **Shipped this week**
   - <outcome-level bullets — "Shipped X", not "closed JIRA-123">
   
   **At risk / blocked**
   - <issue + why + what's needed to unblock — be specific, this is the
     section stakeholders actually act on>
   
   **Next week**
   - <top 3-5 priorities pulled from the upcoming sprint/cycle>
   
   **Velocity note** (optional)
   - <only include if the trend is notable — don't manufacture a metric>
   

3. Write for the audience: translate ticket titles into outcomes a non-engineer would understand. Group related tickets into one bullet.

4. Show the draft for review before sending/posting (Slack, email, Confluence — whatever the configured destination is). Don't auto-publish.

Notes

• Schedule via /schedule for Friday afternoons.
• "At risk" is the most valuable section — don't bury it or skip it because it's uncomfortable to report.
• Keep total length to something a busy stakeholder reads in under a minute.
