How does it handle negative news or project blockers?

The skill utilizes a specific 'Honest Framing' pattern that acknowledges challenges directly and provides context and reframing to maintain trust while being transparent.

How does this skill pull evidence for updates?

The skill includes an intake process that prompts for GitHub usernames and specific time windows to pull authored PRs and technical evidence from the development history.

Can I use this for non-technical stakeholder updates?

Yes. While it can pull technical data, the output is designed to be scannable and outcome-focused, making it ideal for executives and non-technical stakeholders.

What platforms are the updates formatted for?

The output uses scannable bullet points and emoji-anchored headers suitable for Slack, email, or internal project management tools like Notion or Jira.
