Agent Ops Report

Report Generation Skill

Works with or without aoc CLI installed. Report data can be gathered via direct file reading.

Goal

Generate informative reports from issue data to help users understand project status, prioritize work, analyze velocity, and review history. Supports multiple output formats and automatic clarification handoff.

Data Retrieval (File-Based — Default)

Reports are generated by reading issue files directly:

File-Based Report Generation

1. Summary Report: Count issues in each priority file, group by type
2. Completion Report: Parse history.md for date ranges, group by type/epic
3. Velocity Report: Count issues by date from ### Log entries
4. Backlog Analysis: Calculate age from created: field in each issue
5. Epic Progress: Filter issues by epic: field, calculate completion %

CLI Integration (when aoc is available)

When aoc CLI is detected in .agent/tools.json, these commands provide convenience shortcuts:

Export for Reports (CLI)

# Export all open issues as JSON
aoc issues list --json > open-issues.json

# Export by priority for summary report
aoc issues list --priority critical --json
aoc issues list --priority high --json

# Export epic progress data
aoc issues list --epic "authentication" --json

# Include completed issues for history report
aoc issues list --done --json
