# /project-report

Generate a project status report by analysing tasks, meetings, decisions, risks, and timeline data from the vault. Uses four parallel agents to gather different project dimensions simultaneously.

## When to Use This Skill

- Preparing regular project status updates
- Creating reports for steering committees
- Summarising project health for stakeholders
- Generating RAG (Red/Amber/Green) status reports
- End-of-sprint or end-of-phase reports

## Usage

```
/project-report <project-name> [--period weekly|monthly|custom] [--format rag|detailed|exec]
```

### Parameters

| Parameter    | Description                                          | Required |
|--------------|------------------------------------------------------|----------|
| `project`    | Project name or path to project note                 | Yes      |
| `--period`   | Reporting period (default: `weekly`)                 | No       |
| `--format`   | Report format (default: `rag`)                       | No       |

## Instructions

### Phase 1: Identify Project Context

1. **Find the project note** — Search for the project by name
2. **Identify related content:**
   - Tasks linked to this project
   - Meetings mentioning this project
   - ADRs related to this project
   - Workstreams under this project
3. **Determine reporting period** — Calculate date range

### Phase 2: Parallel Data Gathering — Agent Team

Launch four agents simultaneously using the Task tool.

**Agent 1: Task Status Agent** (Haiku)
Task: Analyse task status for the project
- Find all tasks linked to or mentioning the project
- Categorise by status: completed, in-progress, blocked, not started
- Calculate completion percentage
- Identify overdue tasks
- Track velocity (tasks completed per week/sprint)
Return: Task summary with completion metrics and burndown data

**Agent 2: Meeting and Decision Agent** (Haiku)
Task: Extract project-relevant meetings and decisions
- Find meetings within the reporting period that mention the project
- Extract decisions made in those meetings
- Identify action items and their status (complete/pending)
- Find ADRs created or modified in the period
Return: Meeting summary, decision log, and pending actions

**Agent 3: Risk and Issue Agent** (Sonnet)
Task: Assess project risks and issues
- Search for risks mentioned in project notes, meetings, or tasks
- Categorise: risk (potential) vs issue (realised)
- Score risks: probability x impact
- Identify new risks raised in the period
- Check mitigation status for known risks
- Assess overall project health (RAG status)
Return: Risk/issue register with RAG assessment

**Agent 4: Timeline Agent** (Haiku)
Task: Assess timeline and milestone progress
- Extract project milestones and deadlines
- Check which milestones were hit/missed in the period
- Calculate schedule variance (ahead/behind/on track)
- Identify upcoming milestones and their readiness
- Flag dependencies that could affect timeline
Return: Timeline assessment with milestone status and forecast

### Phase 3: Synthesise Project Report

Combine agent results tailored to the requested format:

**RAG format:** Concise status with colour-coded indicators
**Detailed format:** Full analysis with all dimensions
**Exec format:** One-page summary for senior stakeholders

## Output Format

```markdown
# Project Status Report: <Project Name>

**Period:** <date range> | **Date:** YYYY-MM-DD | **Status:** 🟢/🟡/🔴

## RAG Summary

| Dimension  | Status | Trend | Comment                          |
|------------|--------|-------|----------------------------------|
| Scope      | 🟢     | →     | On track, no scope changes       |
| Schedule   | 🟡     | ↓     | 1 milestone at risk              |
| Budget     | 🟢     | →     | Within budget                    |
| Risk       | 🟡     | →     | 2 high risks being mitigated     |
| Quality    | 🟢     | ↑     | Test coverage improving          |

## Key Highlights

- **Completed:** <Major achievement this period>
- **In Progress:** <Key items being worked on>
- **At Risk:** <Items that need attention>

| Overdue             | X           | —       |
