Write status updates people actually read — the traffic-light-plus-narrative format (state first, story second), the blockers-are-asks rule, and the skimmable structure that respects a reader with thirty seconds. Use when asked write my weekly update, format our team's status posts, nobody reads my updates, or what goes in a good async check-in. Produces the update format with a filled example, the blockers-as-asks discipline, and the reader-time contract.
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
# Async Update Format Skill
Status updates die of two diseases: the activity log ("attended meetings, worked on the project") that says nothing, and the essay that says everything to readers with thirty seconds. The format that survives: **state first** (on-track / at-risk / blocked, with the one-line why), then the delta (what changed since last time — not what exists), then blockers written as *asks with names* ("blocked on X — need [person] to approve Y by Friday"), then the next milestone with its date. Skimmable in thirty seconds, expandable for the reader who wants more.
## What This Skill Produces
- **The format** — state → delta → asks → next, with length budgets per section
- **A filled example** — realistic, showing the delta-not-inventory discipline
- **The blockers-as-asks rule** — every blocker names a person and an action, or it's just weather
- **The reader-time contract** — the 30-second skim layer and the optional depth layer, separated

How to install
mdr add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills/async-update-format@sha256:8b95beffa3068c1eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260719.8f98b70, 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.
