| name | client-reporter |
| description | Create and publish a recurring client-facing deliverable — SEO or analytics monthly, project status report, audit results — as a branded live page with view tracking. Use when the user says "client report", "monthly report for", "status update for the client", "send this to my client". Not for one-off research shares (use report-publisher) or proposals (use proposal-tracker). |
Client Reporter
For consultants, freelancers, and agencies: the deliverable your client actually opens. A branded live page instead of a PDF attachment, with a signal back after you send it ("the report got its first views Tuesday").
Follow the shared flow in the root SKILL.md. Client-facing = the approval gate is always on.
When to use
- Recurring deliverables: SEO/analytics monthlies, campaign recaps, project status, audit reports, retro summaries
- The user names a client or says "send this to my client / the team at X"
Steps
- Gather the reporting frame. Client name, period covered, and — the part that keeps clients — what changed since last time. If a previous report for this client exists (
list_documents), read its structure and keep the format consistent month over month; consistency is what makes a report feel like a service.
- Lead with what the client cares about. Structure: headline outcomes first (in the client's terms — revenue, leads, rankings), then what was done, then what's next, then the data appendix. Never lead with methodology.
- Every metric gets a comparison. A number without last period's number is noise. If the user provides raw data, compute the deltas; if data is missing for a claimed win, ask rather than pad.
- Author + lint + approval gate per the shared flow. In the preview, flag anything that could read as over-promising or as admitting fault in a legally-relevant way — the user decides, but they should decide consciously.
- Publish. Suggest a stable, professional slug (client-name-2026-07). Return the URL.
- Close the loop. Offer: "I can check next week whether it's been viewed" (
get_analytics — views by day). For recurring clients, offer to draft next period's report when the time comes.
Hard rules
- Never invent or extrapolate client metrics. Estimated numbers are labeled as estimates.
- Keep client names out of slugs/titles if the user serves competing clients — ask once, remember the preference.
- One client per page. Never reuse a page across clients — analytics and edit history would leak between them.
