Write a crisp project status update
Turn scattered progress notes into a status update with RAG status, risks, asks and next steps that leaders actually read.
Convert raw project notes into a crisp status update with a clear status colour, what changed, risks, and exactly what you need from readers.
Turn my raw notes into a stakeholder update.
Project: {{project}}
Reader: {{audience}}
Reporting period: {{period}}
Raw notes:
{{notes}}
Write an update that a busy reader can absorb in under 90 seconds:
1. **Status line**: overall status (On track / At risk / Off track) with one sentence of justification. Be honest; do not default to green. Base it on the notes and tell me if the notes suggest a different status than I implied.
2. **Headline** (one sentence): the most important thing to know this period.
3. **Progress**: 3 to 5 bullets of outcomes, not activities.
4. **Risks and blockers**: each with impact, owner, and the mitigation date.
5. **Decisions or help needed**: explicit asks with a name and a date. If there are none, say "No asks this period."
6. **Next period**: top 3 priorities.
Tone: {{tone}}. Use plain language, no jargon, no filler openers. Keep the update under 250 words. After it, add a two-line version suitable for a Slack message.The prompt forces an honest status and explicit asks, which are the two things stakeholders actually want. Paste unedited notes; the tidying is the model's job.
