What it does

Stakeholder Update is an agent skill from hamzafarooq/claude-code-starter. Write a concise weekly or monthly stakeholder update from raw notes. Covers progress, blockers, decisions needed, and next steps. Use when the user needs to write an update for their manager, leadership, or cross-functional partners.

Its SKILL.md is about 380 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management. It works with Slack. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs to write an update for their manager
  • Cross-functional partners

Example prompts

  • “/stakeholder-update”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. "Paste your raw notes — bullet points, Slack messages, anything."
  2. "Who is the audience — direct manager, exec team, cross-functional partners, board?"
  3. "What's the tone — formal written update, or conversational Slack message?"

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 172c531. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Stakeholder Update loads about 378 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 184 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~378

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Write a concise weekly or monthly stakeholder update from raw notes. Covers progress, blockers, decisions needed, and next steps. Use when the user needs to write an update for their manager, leadership, or cross-functional partners.

Ask the user:

  1. "Paste your raw notes — bullet points, Slack messages, anything."
  2. "Who is the audience — direct manager, exec team, cross-functional partners, board?"
  3. "What's the tone — formal written update, or conversational Slack message?"

Then produce:


[Product/Team] Update — [Date or Period]

Status: 🟢 On track / 🟡 At risk / 🔴 Blocked (Choose one and note the reason if not green)

Progress this period

3–5 bullets. What shipped, what moved, what was decided. Lead with the most important thing first. Use past tense.

Blockers & risks

What is slowing progress or could derail the plan. Be specific — vague blockers don't get unblocked. Format: [What is blocked] → [What you need] → [By when]

Decisions needed from this audience

Be explicit. If you need something from the reader, say so directly with a deadline.

Next period focus

3 bullets on what the team is doing next. Enough context to make sense without a full briefing.


Formatting rules:

  • Lead with status, not pleasantries
  • No passive voice
  • No sentence longer than 20 words
  • If the audience is exec-level, cut the update by 30% after drafting

Ask: "Want a shorter Slack-friendly version of this?"
