Turn a week of Jira activity into an update a manager can read in two minutes.

Read-only. This skill produces text; it changes nothing.

Workflow

Step 1 — Establish the scope and reader

Ask if not stated:

• Which projects or teams? One project, or several.
• Who reads it? This changes everything:
  • Their manager — outcomes and risks, no issue keys in the prose
  • A stakeholder outside the team — plain language, no Jira vocabulary at all
  • An engineering lead — specifics are welcome, issue keys are useful
• What period? Default to seven days; confirm if they say "this week" mid-week.

Step 2 — Gather

Run in this order and stop early if the answer is already clear:

1. Report.team_performance with days=7 — what shipped, and how fast.
2. Report.executive_summary if more than one project.
3. Report.blocked_issues — the risks worth naming.
4. Report.overdue_issues — only if the team actually uses due dates; if the report says they do not, drop this section rather than reporting a hollow zero.

For a single project, Issue.search with project = X AND resolutiondate >= -7d ORDER BY resolutiondate DESC gives the specific list to describe.

Step 3 — Find the story

A status update is not a list. Before writing, answer for yourself:

• What is the single most important thing that happened?
• Is anything different from last week — better, worse, newly stuck?
• What does the reader need to do, if anything?

If nothing needs the reader's attention, say so explicitly. "No decisions needed this week" is a valuable sentence and managers rarely get it.

Step 4 — Write

## [Team] — week ending [date]

[One or two sentences: the headline. What moved, what matters.]

**Delivered**
- [Outcome, in the reader's language, not the ticket title]
- [...]

**In progress**
- [What is underway and roughly where it stands]

**Risks**
- [Only real ones. Each with what would resolve it.]

**Needs a decision**
- [Only if true. Otherwise write "Nothing this week."]
