/ project-update

Post a structured project status update to your PM tool.

The /project-update command posts a structured status update to your project management tool. It summarizes recent progress, blockers, and next steps so leaders and teammates have visibility without asking.

Usage

agent chat 
/project-update
agent chat 
post a project status update

The command generates the update from recent session activity and current issue states. No manual input is required, though you can add context if you want.

What Happens

  1. Context gathered: Reads the current session, recent issue transitions, and completed work
  2. Update generated: Produces a structured update with sections for Completed, In Progress, Blocked, and Next
  3. Health assessed: Sets a project health indicator (on track, at risk, or off track) based on current state
  4. Update posted: Publishes to your PM tool as a project update (Linear project update) or epic comment (Jira)

Update Format

The posted update follows a consistent structure:

Project Update 
**Completed**
- Implemented search filtering (ENG-142)
- Fixed sidebar overflow on mobile (ENG-138)

**In Progress**
- Dashboard analytics widget (ENG-145) — 3/4 criteria done

**Blocked**
- API migration (ENG-140) — waiting on credentials

**Next**
- Begin user settings page (ENG-147)

When to Use It

  • End of a work sprint or milestone
  • Before a standup or status meeting
  • When wrapping a session with significant progress
  • When someone asks for a status update

You don't usually need to call this directly. The /wrap-session command calls /project-update automatically as part of session wrap. Use it standalone when you want to post an update without ending your session.

Related Commands

  • /wrap-session: End session (calls project-update automatically)
  • /status: View current state without posting an update
