A weekly team digest from scattered updates

Every week someone reassembles what happened from chats, email and docs — just to write the update nobody has time to write. This makes it one sentence.

A set of formats for internal updates — status reports, leadership updates, newsletters — so the write-up comes out the way companies actually write them.

The problem

  • The week happened everywhere — a dozen chat threads, a few emails, a doc or two.
  • And every Monday someone reassembles it into the update for leadership. Same gather-and-summarize loop, every week.

How it works

You give Cowork the broken file and one sentence:

Turn this week's updates in these files into our weekly 3P team update — progress, plans, problems.

And this is what comes back:

Before — 14 fragments, 3 sources
[mon 9:12] felipe: pix refunds finally green in staging
[tue] duda: lost the drogaria deal :( pricing AGAIN
from marina: we still owe SOC2 evidence, deadline jun 30
[wed 16:44] ana: the marketplace csv doubled in size lol
[fri] rafa: demo w/ construmax monday, need eng??
After — one 3P update
Progress4 wins, merged
Plans4 items, dated
Problems2 surfaced
Read time~30 seconds
✓ 14 fragments in, nothing dropped

Why use it

  • The Monday hour back — the gathering was the job, and the gathering is what's handed off.
  • A 30-second read — the format caps it at Progress, Plans, Problems. No essay.
  • Nothing buried — our run surfaced 2 problems (a pricing-loss pattern, an audit deadline) that were scattered across three sources.
  • Schedulable — type /schedule in the task and Friday's digest writes itself. How Scheduled works.

Do it yourself, step by step

1

Download the skill

Click here to download it — or use the Download button on its Claudinho page. A .skill file lands in your Downloads folder.

2

Drag that file into Cowork

Open your Downloads folder and drag the file into the Claude desktop app window. Steps 1 and 2 are once — from now on you start at step 3.

3

Start a task and drop the week in

Channel exports, notes, emails — as they are. No tidying first.

4

Type the sentence

You don't need to mention the skill: Claude recognizes an internal update and uses it on its own.

Turn this week's updates in these files into our weekly 3P team update — progress, plans, problems.
5

Review and send

Thirty seconds to read, so thirty seconds to check. When it earns a repeat, /schedule it for Friday.
