Status Report

anthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsOfficial

Turns project chaos into a clean executive summary with status indicators, KPIs, risks, and decisions that need attention. You'd reach for this when leadership wants a weekly or monthly update and you need to convert Jira tickets and Slack noise into something readable. It generates structured markdown with green/yellow/red health indicators, accomplishment lists, and risk tables. The format is opinionated but that's the point. It can pull from connected project trackers and chat tools to auto-populate sections, which saves you from hunting through tabs. Works best when you're clear about the reporting period and scope upfront.
