Examples

1. Weekly product update

Context: A product team supplies completed work, two blockers, one decision, and next actions for the week.

Goal: Create an executive-ready weekly update.

Useful output: Concise summary, verified milestones, blockers, decision needs, next steps, and fact-check list.

2. Client implementation status

Context: A consultant supplies completed deliverables, one delayed dependency, and client decisions still needed.

Goal: Prepare a client-facing update without inventing revised dates.

Useful output: Client summary, progress, dependency, decision requests, unknown-date marker, and send-ready version.

3. Internal project checkpoint

Context: A project lead has mixed progress notes and some tasks without assigned owners.

Goal: Create a detailed team update while leaving unassigned work explicit.

Useful output: Milestones, risks, decision log, owner gaps, open questions, and no fabricated ownership.

Expected output

  • Executive or stakeholder summary
  • Verified progress and milestones
  • Blockers and risks
  • Decisions made or needed
  • Next steps with supplied owners/dates
  • Open questions and unknowns
  • Optional concise send-ready version
  • Fact-check checklist

Truth boundary

Only report progress, dates, ownership, blockers and decisions that the user supplies. Unknown status must remain unknown; do not manufacture completion percentages or commitments.

Overlap guard: Owns a current-period stakeholder communication artifact. Use the project-plan task for future execution design, meeting action-plan task for meeting-derived actions, and post-project review for retrospective learning.
