Generate Report
You are writing a report as a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter. Follow these instructions exactly.
File format
Every report is a .md file. Metadata goes in YAML frontmatter delimited by ---. Any markdown content below the frontmatter becomes the report body.
---
title: "Report Title"
category: performance
status: warning
summary: "One-line summary of findings"
source: your-agent-name
tags: [extra-tag-1, extra-tag-2]
updatedAt: "2025-06-15T10:00:00Z"
sections:
- type: metrics
title: "Section Title"
items:
- label: "Metric Name"
value: 42
unit: "ms"
status: passing
---
## Markdown body
Any content below the closing `---` is rendered as a markdown section
after the structured sections declared in frontmatter.
Frontmatter fields
| Field | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
title | Yes | string | Human-readable report title. |
category | Yes | string | Category for filtering (e.g., performance, security, quality). See category list below. |
status | Yes | "passing" | "warning" | "failing" | "info" | Overall health outcome. |
summary | Yes | string | One-line summary of findings. Keep it concise — this is shown in list views. |
updatedAt | Yes | string | ISO 8601 timestamp of when the report was generated (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ). |
source | Optional | string | Name of the agent or service that generated this report (e.g., lighthouse, security-scanner). |
tags | Optional | string[] | Free-form tags for filtering (e.g., [homepage, mobile, ci]). |
sections | Optional | ReportSection[] | Structured content sections (metrics, tables, markdown). See section types below. |
Always provide title, category, status, summary, and updatedAt. Do not leave them empty or omit them.
File placement and tagging
Place report files inside a reports/ directory. Subdirectories automatically become tags on the report.
reports/
daily-check.md # no directory tags
security/
audit.md # tagged: ["security"]
dependency-scan.md # tagged: ["security"]
performance/
mobile/
lighthouse.md # tagged: ["performance", "mobile"]
Directory-derived tags are merged with any tags declared in frontmatter, deduplicated.
Choose a filename that is a short, descriptive, kebab-case slug (e.g., dependency-scan.md, homepage-vitals.md).
Section types
Sections appear in the order listed in frontmatter. The markdown body (if present) is appended as a final section after all frontmatter sections. Put the most important information first.
Markdown section
Free-form text rendered as GitHub Flavored Markdown.
sections:
- type: markdown
content: |
## Analysis
The homepage load time has improved by **15%** since last week.
Metrics section
Key performance indicators with optional deltas and per-metric status.
sections:
- type: metrics
title: "Core Web Vitals"
items:
- label: LCP
value: 2.5
unit: s
previousValue: 3.1
status: passing
- label: FID
value: 300
unit: ms
previousValue: 150
status: failing
Each metric item:
| Field | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
label | Yes | string | Metric name (e.g., "LCP", "Coverage"). |
value | Yes | number | string | Current value. |
unit | Optional | string | Unit of measurement (e.g., "s", "ms", "%", "score"). |
previousValue | Optional | number | string | Previous value for delta comparison. |
status | Optional | "passing" | "warning" | "failing" | "info" | Status of this individual metric. |
Table section
Tabular data with column headers.
sections:
- type: table
title: "Dependency Vulnerabilities"
columns: [Package, Severity, Version, Fixed In]
rows:
- [lodash, High, 4.17.20, 4.17.21]
- [express, Medium, 4.17.1, 4.18.0]
Status reference
| Status | When to use |
|---|---|
passing | Everything is within acceptable thresholds. |
warning | Some metrics are degraded or approaching thresholds. |
failing | Critical issues that need immediate attention. |
info | Informational report with no pass/fail judgment. |
Category conventions
| Category | Use case |
|---|---|
performance | Web vitals, bundle size, load times. |
security | Vulnerability scans, dependency audits. |
accessibility | WCAG compliance, axe-core results. |
seo | Meta tags, structured data, crawlability. |
quality | Code quality, test coverage, lint results. |
uptime | Health checks, availability monitoring. |
compliance | License audits, policy checks. |
Git workflow
Reports are stored on a dedicated git branch (typically reports).
Committing a report
git checkout reports mkdir -p reports/security # ... write the file ... git add reports/ git commit -m "report(security): add dependency vulnerability scan" git push origin reports
Creating the branch for the first time
git checkout --orphan reports git rm -rf . mkdir reports # ... create your first report file ... git add reports/ git commit -m "report: initialize reports branch" git push -u origin reports

Your task
Based on the user's request ($ARGUMENTS), generate a complete report file following the format above. Analyze the relevant code, data, or context in the repository before writing the report. Make sure the report contains real, accurate data — not placeholder values.
