Outreach Status

/outreach-status, the honest snapshot

Usage: /outreach-status (both) · /outreach-status "<Person Name>"

Fast and honest. No encouragement, no padding.

Steps

1. Read .claude/PROJECT_NOTES.md — the phase tracker and next action are the stated position.

2. Check the stated position against what is on disk. Notes drift and stale notes mislead the next session:

   • Does <person>/cv/ actually contain a CV, or is the profile still running on vault data?
   • Does profile.md still contain TBD?
   • How many files are actually in drafts/ versus sent/?
   • Does shared/companies/ have real dossiers or empty stubs?
   • Does shared/targets.md have real companies or only the seed list?
   • Do the tracker rows match the files in sent/?

3. Say so explicitly where they disagree. If PROJECT_NOTES claims Phase 3 and shared/companies/ is empty, the project is in Phase 2.

4. Compute what is due — spawn followup_planner if anything has been sent.

5. Report per person, then the shared state.

6. Give exactly one next action. The plan lists everything; this skill picks the next thing.

Output format

## Outreach status — <date>

### Phase: <n, name> (<on track | behind | blocked>)

### <Person Name>
Profile: complete | TBD in <fields>
Sent: <n> · Awaiting reply: <n> · Replied: <n> · No-reply: <n>
Follow-ups due: <n>
In drafts: <n> (<statuses>)

### <Second Person>
<same>

### Shared
Targets: <n> (T1 <n> / T2 <n> / T3 <n>)
Dossiers written: <n>
Contacts verified: <n> of <n>

### Notes vs reality
<discrepancies, or "consistent">

### Blocked on
<what, and who has to unblock it>

## Next action (do this literally next)
<one concrete step>

Rules

• One next action, not five.
• Respect phase discipline. Never suggest a Phase N+1 task while Phase N's deliverable does not exist.
• If PROJECT_NOTES says a phase is done and the deliverable is not on disk, the phase is not done. Say it.
• Never report a contact as verified when the tracker says pattern or unverified.
• Report reply rates as they are. A zero reply rate after ten sends is information about the angle, and hiding it wastes the next ten.
• Senders in different fields do not share a target list. Never report one sender's state against another's targets. While a sender still has open questions in their profile.md, lead with those.
