Weekly Update

Draft a stakeholder-facing weekly update from the weekly summary. Format is configured in memory/me.md.

Step 0 — Read inputs

1. Read memory/me.md for:

   • Weekly update format (Slack post / email / Notion page / other)
   • Weekly update audience (manager, team, etc.)
   • Your name and role

2. Find this week's weekly summary. Look for {{WORKSPACE}}/daily-notes/YYYY/WW/YYYY-WW.md. If it doesn't exist, prompt: "Weekly summary not found. Run /weekly-summary first, then come back."

3. Read the summary in full.

Step 1 — Draft the update

Write a stakeholder-facing update from the weekly summary. This is external-facing — write for the audience, not as internal notes.

Tone and style:

• Concise and direct — most readers skim
• Lead with outcomes, not activity
• Use plain language — no jargon or internal acronyms without definition
• Confident, not defensive

Structure (adapt to format):

**Week of [Mon date]–[Fri date]**

**Summary**
[2-3 sentences: what the week added up to, the most important thing that happened]

**[Project Name]**
[1-3 bullets: what moved, what was decided, where it stands]

**[Project Name]**
[1-3 bullets]

**Looking ahead**
[2-3 bullets: what's on deck next week, any upcoming decisions or milestones]

Omit projects with no activity. Do not include the internal to-do list. Do not include "What I drove" verbatim — fold the most important items into the project summaries where they add context.

Step 2 — Format for delivery

Apply the format from memory/me.md:

Slack post:

• Use Slack markdown: *bold*, _italic_, bullet points with -
• Keep the whole post skimmable in <2 minutes
• Open with the summary paragraph, then project bullets, then looking ahead

Email:

• Subject: Weekly update — week of [Mon date]
• Plain text or simple HTML — no fancy formatting
• Same structure as above

Notion page:

• Title: Weekly Update — Week of [Mon date]
• Use Notion heading styles (H2 for project sections)
• Add date created

Other: Follow whatever format the user specified in setup.

Step 3 — Review and send

Present the draft to the user. Ask: "Does this look right, or would you like any changes?"

If the user approves:

• Slack: Offer to post via slack_send_message to the appropriate channel or DM (ask for confirmation of destination)
• Email: Offer to create a draft via gmail_create_draft (ask for recipient)
• Notion: Offer to create the page (ask for the parent page)
• Other: Output the final text for the user to send manually

Step 4 — Confirm

"Weekly update drafted for week of [Mon date]–[Fri date]. [Sent to / Saved as draft for / Copied to clipboard for] [destination]."
