SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Keeping a team informed about project progress requires manually summarizing commits, drafting chat messages, reading responses, and converting feedback into actionable issues — a repetitive cycle that consumes time every sprint or standup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Playbook-driven workflow: First run discovers available tools (chat, git, issues, tasks) and saves preferences to .claude/team-update-playbook.md; subsequent runs execute directly from the playbook.
  • Update drafting and posting: Gathers git commits, chat messages, issues, and tasks since the last run, groups commits by theme, and composes a teammate-style update for Google Chat, Slack, Discord, or Teams.
  • Feedback triage: Classifies team responses as bug reports, feature requests, questions, blockers, or acknowledgements, and proposes actions like creating labeled GitHub issues.
  • Use Case: After a day of development, ask for a team update — the skill summarizes your commits, drafts a concise message, posts it to your Google Chat space after approval, then reads replies and turns a reported bug into a labeled issue.

Quick Start

Ask Claude to post a team update summarizing today's commits to the team chat channel.

Frequently Asked Questions about team-update

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I post automated project updates to Slack or Google Chat?

Trigger the skill with a phrase like 'team update' or 'post update'. It gathers recent git commits and chat activity, drafts a grouped summary message, shows you a preview, and posts to your configured channel only after your approval.

How do I turn team chat feedback into GitHub issues?

The skill reads channel responses after an update and classifies them as bug reports, feature requests, questions, or blockers. It proposes actions such as creating a labeled GitHub issue, but never creates anything without your explicit approval.

Does the team update workflow work without chat MCP tools?

Yes, it degrades gracefully. With only git available it summarizes commits and outputs formatted text for manual posting. Each additional tool category — chat, issues, tasks — unlocks more of the automated cycle.

What is the team update playbook file?

It is a markdown file saved at .claude/team-update-playbook.md that stores your channel, tool configuration, message style, and triage rules. The first run creates it through discovery; later runs read it directly, and you can edit it to change behavior.

Can the skill post messages without my approval?

No. Posting to external channels, creating issues, and replying to team members all require explicit approval. Only reading data, drafting messages, and updating the playbook happen autonomously.
