Project Status Update Writer

Turn scattered notes, Slack messages, and half-thoughts into a professional project status update.

Copy & Paste this prompt
Write a project status update from my messy notes:

**Project name:** [PROJECT NAME]
**Reporting period:** [THIS WEEK / THIS SPRINT / THIS MONTH]
**My raw notes:**
[DUMP YOUR MESSY NOTES, BULLET POINTS, SLACK MESSAGES, WHATEVER YOU HAVE]

**Audience:** [manager / stakeholders / full team / client]

Format as:
1. **🟢🟡🔴 Overall status** — Green/Yellow/Red with one-line summary
2. **✅ Completed** — what got done this period (bullet points)
3. **🔄 In Progress** — what's actively being worked on + % complete if possible
4. **🚧 Blockers** — what's stuck and what's needed to unblock
5. **📅 Next steps** — what's planned for next period
6. **⚠️ Risks** — anything the audience should know about

Keep it concise. No fluff. Executives should be able to scan it in 30 seconds.
