# GitHub Initiative Pulse

## Overview

Turns tracker data and GitHub board metadata into initiative-level summaries. Provides markdown helpers and CSV exports for pasting into issues, PRs, or Discussions.

## Ritual

1. Capture work via `tracker.py add` or sync from GitHub Projects.

2. Review blockers/highlights using the **Blocker Radar** table.

3. Generate GitHub comment via `tracker.py status --github-comment` or module snippets.

4. Cross-link the weekly Status Template and share with stakeholders.

## Key Metrics

| Metric | Description |

|--------|-------------|

| Completion % | Done tasks / total tasks per initiative. |

| Avg Task % | Mean completion percent for all in-flight tasks. |

| Burn Rate | Hours burned per week (auto-calculated). |

| Risk Hotlist | Tasks flagged `priority=High` or due date in past. |

## GitHub Integrations

- Links every task to an issue/PR URL.

- Supports auto-labeling by referencing `phase` in the tracker record.

- Encourages posting digests to coordination issues or PR timelines.

## Exit Criteria

- All initiatives represented with updated metrics.

- Markdown digest pasted into relevant GitHub thread.

- Risk follow-ups filed as issues with owners and due dates.

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

If metrics appear outdated, ensure `tracker.py` has successfully synced with GitHub. If the Markdown digest renders incorrectly in GitHub, check for unescaped characters in task titles or missing newlines between table rows.
