What it does
Progress pushed out on every long task, as an always-current status file and a two-line Slack pulse at milestones and blockers, so nobody has to ask for an update.
Who uses it
What you need
You bring:
- a task slug
- a Slack recipient and bot token in the project config, if you want the pulse
How it works5
The steps, in order. The method itself is served whole through the connector, current on every use.
- 1
Create the status file at task start
- 2
Rewrite it after every step
- 3
Pulse at 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent and on blockers
- 4
Park blockers and move on
- 5
Archive the file at the end
What it doesn't do
- Creating Slack apps, webhooks or tokens
- Short tasks of three steps or fewer
When your AI reaches for it
Proactive progress reporting for any long-running task or /loop. Use AUTOMATICALLY whenever a task will take more than 3 steps, whenever a /loop or /overnight-run is active, or whenever the operator says "keep me posted", "report progress", "/status-pulse". If the operator ever has to ask "update?", "what's going on", or "hello??" — this skill was not followed; adopt it immediately and say so.
