Project Snapshot Skill
Purpose
Generate quick status overview of all active engineering projects, showing progress, blockers, and immediate priorities.
Usage
- •
/project-snapshot- All active projects - •
/project-snapshot all- All projects including paused/completed - •
/project-snapshot [project-name]- Detailed snapshot for specific project
Instructions
When this skill is invoked:
- •
Find all project files using Glob:
codeProject*.md
- •
Read each project file to extract:
- •Project title and status
- •Related ADRs
- •Related tasks (completed and pending)
- •Recent meetings
- •Key stakeholders
- •Current blockers/risks
- •DPIA status (if applicable)
- •Last modified date
- •
Filter by status (unless 'all' specified):
- •Active projects (status: active, in progress, or null)
- •Exclude paused and completed unless 'all' flag used
- •
For each project, assess:
- •Health status: 🟢 On track, 🟡 At risk, 🔴 Blocked
- •Recent activity (meetings/tasks in last 7 days)
- •Pending actions and priorities
- •Compliance status (DPIA, Cyber, etc.)
- •
Generate formatted snapshot:

- •
Output the snapshot as formatted markdown
- •
Provide actionable insights:
- •Flag urgent items requiring immediate attention
- •Identify patterns across projects (e.g., multiple DPIA delays)
- •Highlight resource constraints or bottlenecks
- •Recommend prioritization
- •
Optionally save snapshot by asking user:
- •"Would you like me to save this project snapshot as a Page?"
- •If yes, create
Page - Project Snapshot [date].md

Notes
- •Prioritize actionable information over historical data
- •Use health indicators (🟢🟡🔴) for quick visual status
- •Flag projects with no recent activity (>14 days)
- •Cross-reference with DPIA status and ADR reports
- •Calculate "days since last activity" for each project
- •Use UK English spelling throughout
