My First Skill

Step 1 of 5

Make one weekly update you like

A skill is a saved set of instructions your assistant can run again on new material, so you stop re-describing the same job. Names, dates, and events change each week, while Wins, Decisions, Waiting on me, and Next week stay in place. Build one checked update, save its format and checks as `weekly-update`, then run that skill on fresh notes whose facts remain outside the saved procedure.

Start with notes from one week. Ask for four sections in order: Wins, Decisions, Waiting on me, and Next week. When the draft comes back, compare every claim with your notes, check names and dates, and make sure items older than two days are flagged under Waiting on me. Fix the format now, because you will use this checked update to write and test the skill's rules.

One checked update gives the skill a format to repeat.

Prompt to try

Build my weekly update in the exact format below. If you can read my recent notes or messages, use this past week; otherwise ask me to paste my rough notes. Use these sections in this order: Wins, Decisions, Waiting on me, and Next week. Put any person's name or date in bold. Under Waiting on me, flag anything that has sat for more than two days. Keep the tone plain and direct, with no hype. End with one line: what I would do first on Monday. Lay it out as a clean, readable page I could share as is.

Review the update against your notes and confirm all four sections, accurate facts, bold names and dates, and the two-day stale-item rule.
