Write internal company communications — 3P updates (Progress/Plans/Problems), company-wide newsletters, FAQ roundups, incident reports, leadership updates, status reports, project updates, and general internal comms. Use this skill any time the user asks to draft, edit, or format something meant for internal audiences. Trigger on keywords like "3P", "weekly update", "newsletter", "FAQ", "internal comms", "status report", "company update", "team update", "incident report", or any request to summarize work for leadership, teammates, or the broader company. Even casual requests like "write my update" or "summarize what my team did this week" should trigger this skill.

Write polished internal communications by loading the right reference file, gathering context, and outputting in the company's exact format.
Identify the communication type from the user's request, then read the matching reference file before writing anything:
| Type | Trigger phrases | Reference file |
|---|---|---|
| 3P Update | "3P", "progress plans problems", "weekly team update", "what did we ship" | references/3p-updates.md |
| Newsletter | "newsletter", "company update", "weekly/monthly roundup", "all-hands summary" | references/company-newsletter.md |
| FAQ | "FAQ", "common questions", "what people are asking", "confusion around" | references/faq-answers.md |
| General | anything internal that doesn't match above | references/general-comms.md |
If the type is ambiguous, ask one clarifying question — don't guess.
If the user hasn't connected Slack, Gmail, Drive, or Calendar, don't stall. Ask them to paste or describe what they want covered. You're formatting and sharpening — that's still valuable. Mention which tools would improve future drafts so they can connect them later.
| Anti-Pattern | Why It Fails | Better Approach | |---|---|---| | Writing updates without reading the reference template first | Output won't match company format — user has to reformat | Always load the matching reference file before drafting | | Inventing metrics or accomplishments | Internal comms must be factual — fabrication destroys trust | Only include data the user provided or MCP tools retrieved | | Using passive voice for accomplishments | "The feature was shipped" hides who did the work | "Team X shipped the feature" — active voice credits the team | | Writing walls of text for status updates | Leadership scans, doesn't read — key info gets buried | Lead with the headline, follow with 3-5 bullet points | | Sending without confirming audience | A team update reads differently from a company-wide newsletter | Always confirm: who will read this? |
| Skill | Relationship |
|-------|-------------|
| project-management/senior-pm | Broader PM scope — status reports feed into PM reporting |
| project-management/meeting-analyzer | Meeting insights can feed into 3P updates and status reports |
| project-management/confluence-expert | Publish comms as Confluence pages for permanent record |
| marketing-skill/content-production | External comms — use for public-facing content, not internal |
development
Use when someone wants to run a weekly review, close open loops, audit stalled projects and commitments, get their system back to trusted, restart a lapsed review habit, or says "/cs:weekly-review". Walks David Allen's three-phase loop — GET CLEAR, GET CURRENT, GET CREATIVE — with deterministic scripts that inventory open loops, gate the checklist with named gaps, and score commitment health 0-100.
development
Use when someone wants to decide whether a meeting is worth calling, price a meeting in dollars, build a timeboxed agenda with desired outcomes, or turn messy meeting notes into owned action items — or says "should this be a meeting", "/cs:meeting-prep", or "/cs:meeting-actions". Runs a cost gate (ASYNC / NOT-READY / MEET), builds a decision-first agenda, and extracts an owner + due-date checklist that flags every orphan.
development
Convert a rambling description of a desired outcome into one polished, autonomous /goal prompt ready to paste into a fresh session. Use when the user says "/fable-goal", "turn this into a goal prompt", "write me a fable prompt", "write the prompt that builds X", or rambles about something they want made and asks for the prompt that makes it happen. The output is a single copy-paste prompt, never the build itself. Do NOT use when the user wants the thing built right now in this session — only when they want the PROMPT that will make it happen in a fresh session.
development
Use when someone wants to plan a deep work day, time-block their calendar or task list, budget or cut shallow work, protect focus hours, track deep-work sessions and streaks, run an end-of-day shutdown ritual, or says "/deep-work" or "/time-block". Classifies tasks deep vs shallow, builds an energy-first time-blocked schedule that refuses deep demand past the 4-hour ceiling, batches shallow work into at most two windows, and logs focus sessions against a weekly target.
