Prepare Project Update

Prepare a Project Update

Use this skill when an agent must draft a project update for a Notion page.

Important

Creating or updating Notion content is a write operation. This skill defaults to preparing the update for review — it only creates/updates the page when the user explicitly confirms.

Workflow

1. Gather the current state

• Read the project's current status page and recent updates (summarize-project provides the state).
• Collect the changes since the last update: completed items, decisions, blockers, next steps.

2. Draft the update

Structure the draft:

• Status line: on track / at risk / blocked + one sentence.
• Completed since last update: bullet list with dates.
• In progress / next: what is being worked on and what is next.
• Blockers/risks: anything needing attention.
• Decisions made: brief.

Match the project's existing page structure (headings, to-do blocks, database rows) so the update fits in cleanly.

3. Present for review

• Show the full draft to the user: the exact content and where it would go (append to the page, replace a section, add a row to a database).
• Note any data the draft references (task counts, owners) and their sources.

4. Apply only on confirmation

• Only after explicit user confirmation, create/update the Notion content (append blocks, update the page, or add the database row).
• Report what was created/modified and where.

Guardrails

• Default to drafting only; never write to Notion without explicit user confirmation.
• Do not fabricate status (completed items, dates) — only include what the gathered state supports.
