Produces the weekly 5-block client status report - done, next, blocked, decisions needed, budget/hours - in a 15-minute time cap, from a copy-paste template with [FILL] fields. Use when a freelancer or consultant says "client asked what they're paying for", "how do I keep clients updated", "write my weekly status update", "client keeps pinging me for progress", "they went quiet and I'm worried about the renewal", or "how do I show retainer value". Do NOT use for long-form consulting or…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Client Status Reporting Clients do not churn because the work was bad; they churn because they could not see the work at all. "What am I paying for?" is never really a question - it is the announcement that invisibility has already done its damage, and by then the renewal is in doubt. The weekly status report is the cheapest retention instrument a freelancer owns: fifteen minutes that preempts check-in pings, forces decisions out of clients on a schedule, and makes the invoice feel obvious instead of debatable. In the Freelancer / Consultant OS pack, this skill takes over from client-onboarding-system at day 14 and runs for the life of the engagement.

The communication contract from client-onboarding-system: channel, recipient(s), and send day. Default: same weekday every week (Friday morning or Monday morning), in the engagement's single async channel. 2. The SOW deliverables and, for retainers, the monthly hours cap - the budget block reports against these. …

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/client-status-reporting@sha256:b06431112a52f07fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260705.a28c4ce, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
