project-status

Draft a Linear project update by comparing current issues with the previous report. Explain progress, added scope, schedule risks, and one needed decision, then publish the update to the project after the user approves it.

OriginalShow the original description

Draft a Linear project status update from what actually moved — progress, risks, and the one decision that needs making. Use when someone asks for a project update, a status post, where a project stands, whether it will land on time, or what to tell stakeholders.

Good for

  • Preparing a project status update
  • Explaining schedule risks to stakeholders
  • Reporting work added since the last update
  • Requesting a decision with an owner and deadline

Overview

What it does

Read a project’s Linear issues and previous status update, then draft a report based on what changed since that update. Review completed issues, added work, and changes to target dates. Use the remaining scope and time to assess whether the project is on track, at risk, or off track. Describe risks as specific events and consequences, and identify one decision or action needed from stakeholders.

When it helps

Use this skill to explain a project’s progress and delivery outlook to people who will not review each issue. It can also summarize work added during the project or request a decision with a named owner and deadline. The update puts changes into a short report instead of relying on a completion percentage alone.

Example requests

  • “Draft progress and risks since the last update for this project.”
  • “Summarize the delivery outlook and what stakeholders need to decide.”

Notes

A connection to Linear’s MCP tools is required. The full draft is shown first. It is posted to the project only after you approve it; if you ask only for a draft, it is not posted. This skill compares against the previous update, so it produces a change-focused report rather than a standalone summary.

This overview was written by AI (OpenAI Codex) from the public SKILL.md. Check the original below for the exact behavior.

Draft a project status update

A status update is read by people who will not open a single issue. It has to survive being the only thing they read: is this landing, what changed, and what do you need from them.

1. Read the movement, not the snapshot

Percent-complete is the number people reach for and the one that lies. A project can sit at 70% for a month while the last three issues get harder. What tells the story is what moved since the previous update: issues completed, issues added, and target dates that shifted.

Fetch the project's issues plus its previous status update. Without the previous one you are writing a summary, not an update, and the reader cannot tell what is new.

2. Judge the trajectory honestly

Pick one and commit to it. Hedging every sentence is how a project stays green until the week it ships late.

CallWhat justifies it
On trackRemaining scope fits the remaining time at the current rate
At riskA dependency, an unknown, or a rate that has to improve to land
Off trackThe date will move, or scope has to be cut — say which

If you cannot tell, the answer is at risk, and the reason is that nobody can tell.

3. Name risks as things that could happen

"Backend integration is risky" gives the reader nothing. "The export endpoint is not built, we cannot finish import until it is, and the owner is on the payments migration until the 14th" tells them what to move. A risk is a specific event with a specific consequence and usually a specific person who can prevent it.

Include scope that was added mid-project. Silently absorbed scope is why the date moves, and it is invisible unless the update names it.

4. Ask for what you need

Most updates end with nothing to do, so nothing is done. If a decision, a person, or a descope would help, state it as the last line with a name and a date attached. One ask is better than three, because three get triaged and one gets answered.

5. Show the draft, then post it

Print the draft in full and stop. This skill drafts; publishing is the user's call. A status update is read by stakeholders and enters the project's permanent history, and a wrong trajectory or a risk named for the wrong person is not something a follow-up correction undoes — so an unreviewed post is worse than a late one.

Once they approve it, write it on the project so it lives next to the work rather than in a chat message that is gone by the next morning. Keep it to a few short paragraphs: trajectory, what moved, risks, the ask. If they asked only for a draft, stop after printing it.

Anti-patterns

  • Listing every completed issue. That is the changelog, not the update.
  • "No blockers" when the real answer is that nobody has looked. Say you have not looked.
  • Copying the previous update with the numbers changed. The reader learns to skip it, and the one update that matters gets skipped too.
