Overview

Turns tracker data and GitHub board metadata into initiative-level summaries. Provides markdown helpers and CSV exports for pasting into issues, PRs, or Discussions.

Ritual

Capture work via tracker.py add or sync from GitHub Projects.
Review blockers/highlights using the Blocker Radar table.
Generate GitHub comment via tracker.py status --github-comment or module snippets.
Cross-link the weekly Status Template and share with stakeholders.

Key Metrics

Metric	Description
Completion %	Done tasks / total tasks per initiative.
Avg Task %	Mean completion percent for all in-flight tasks.
Burn Rate	Hours burned per week (auto-calculated).
Risk Hotlist	Tasks flagged `priority=High` or due date in past.

GitHub Integrations

Links every task to an issue/PR URL.
Supports auto-labeling by referencing phase in the tracker record.
Encourages posting digests to coordination issues or PR timelines.
