What it does

Team Update is an agent skill from jezweb/claude-skills. Post project updates to team chat, gather feedback, triage responses, and plan next steps. Adapts to available tools (chat, git, issues, tasks). First run discovers tools and saves a playbook; subsequent runs execute from the playbook. Trigger with 'team update', 'post update', 'sync with team', 'standup', 'check team chat', 'feedback loop', 'project update', 'what did the team say'.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/discovery-patterns.md`, `references/feedback-triage.md` and `references/message-composition.md`). Compatibility notes: claude-code-only

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Meeting notes and agendas. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Skills for Claude Code CLI such as full stack dev Cloudflare, React, Tailwind v4, and AI integrations. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • With team update
  • Check team chat
  • What did the team say

Example prompts

  • “team update”
  • “post update”
  • “sync with team”
  • “/team-update”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): claude-code-only
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): *

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Playbook Check
  2. Gather Context
  3. Draft and Post Update
  4. Read and Triage Feedback
  5. Plan Next Steps

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 64965d9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • *

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    claude-code-only

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Team Update loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,062 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.4k

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.

Team Update

Post project updates to team chat, read and triage feedback, and plan next steps. Adapts to whatever communication and project tools are available.

The Playbook Pattern

This skill uses a playbook file at .claude/team-update-playbook.md in the project root.

  • First run: Discover available tools, ask the user for preferences, execute, save a playbook
  • Subsequent runs: Read the playbook, skip discovery, execute directly
  • User edits playbook: Changes take effect immediately (channel, style, triage rules)

The playbook is plain markdown the user can edit. It captures tool configuration, channel preferences, message style, triage rules, and last-run metadata.


Phase 0: Playbook Check

Check if .claude/team-update-playbook.md exists in the project root.

If it exists: Read it. All tool configuration, channel info, message style, and triage rules are in there. Jump to Phase 1 with known config.

If it does not exist: Run Phase 0b (Discovery) first.


Phase 0b: Discovery (First Run Only)

Detect available capabilities by checking what MCP tools are connected and what local tools exist.

Read references/discovery-patterns.md for detection patterns.

Capability Detection

Check for each capability category:

CapabilityHow to detectFallback if missing
ChatMCP tools matching chat, slack, discord, teamsOutput formatted text for manual posting
Gitgit rev-parse --is-inside-work-treeSkip commit summaries
IssuesMCP tools matching github, linear, jiraSkip or output text list
TasksMCP tools matching tasks, todos, asanaSkip or output text list
KnowledgeBasalt Cortex (~/Documents/basalt-cortex/)Search for related knowledge notes
User Preferences (Ask)

After discovery, ask the user to confirm:

  1. Channel: Which chat space/channel to post updates to? (List discovered options)
  2. Identity: Post as yourself or a bot identity? (e.g. Anthro Morphic)
  3. Repo scope: Which repo(s) to track? (Default: current repo)
  4. Message style: Brief standup, detailed changelog, or conversational update?
  5. Team context: Any team members to be aware of? (Names, roles)
  6. Triage rules: Any custom rules for handling feedback? (Or use defaults)
Save Playbook

After discovery + user preferences, save the playbook to .claude/team-update-playbook.md.

Read references/playbook-format.md for the full template. Fill in all sections with discovered tools and user preferences. If a capability was not found, note it as "Not available" in the playbook.

Ensure .claude/ is in .gitignore (the playbook contains space IDs and preferences that shouldn't be committed).


Phase 1: Gather Context

Collect information from all available sources. Use the playbook's "Data Sources" section to know which tools to call.

1a. Determine Time Window

Check the playbook's "Last Run" section for the last update timestamp. If no previous run, ask the user how far back to go (default: 24 hours).

1b. Collect Data

Gather from each available source:

SourceWhat to collectTool
Git commitsgit log --oneline --since=<last-update>Bash
Chat messagesMessages in the configured channel since last updateChat MCP tool from playbook
Open issues/PRsRecently updated or newly created itemsIssue tracker from playbook
Active tasksIn-progress or recently completed tasksTask tracker from playbook
1c. Summarise for Drafting

Group commits by theme (not individual hashes). Note any issues closed, PRs merged, or tasks completed. Flag any team messages that need response.


Phase 2: Draft and Post Update

2a. Compose Message

Read references/message-composition.md for message patterns.

Follow the playbook's "Message Style" section. General principles:

  • Lead with what shipped or changed, not process
  • Group related commits into themes
  • Mention specific people only when relevant
  • Keep it scannable (short paragraphs, bullet points)
  • Write like a teammate, not an AI — no emoji spam, no hedging, no over-explaining context the team already has. See the Communication Style section in references/message-composition.md.
2b. Preview and Approval

Show the draft to the user. Include:

  • The composed message
  • Which channel it will be posted to
  • Whether it's a new message or thread reply

APPROVAL REQUIRED: Never post to external channels without explicit user approval.

Show full SKILL.md (439 more words)Show less
2c. Post

Post the approved message using the chat tool from the playbook. If no chat tool is available, output the formatted message for the user to post manually.

2d. Update Playbook

After posting, update the "Last Run" section of the playbook with:

  • Current timestamp
  • Thread key (if applicable)
  • Brief summary of what was posted

Phase 3: Read and Triage Feedback

3a. Read Responses

Read messages from the configured channel since the update was posted. Look for:

  • Direct replies to the update
  • New messages in the channel that reference the project
  • Reactions or acknowledgements
3b. Classify Feedback

Read references/feedback-triage.md for classification patterns.

Use the playbook's "Triage Rules" section. Default classification:

TypeAction
Bug reportCreate issue (label: bug)
Feature requestCreate issue (label: enhancement)
QuestionDraft reply for user approval
BlockerFlag immediately, suggest resolution
AcknowledgementNote, no action needed
Off-topicIgnore
3c. Present and Act

Present a summary of feedback with proposed actions:

## Feedback Summary

- Daniel: "Can we add dark mode?" -> Create issue (enhancement)
- Rabin: "Auth is broken on staging" -> Create issue (bug, priority)
- Karen: "Looks good!" -> No action

Proceed with these actions?

APPROVAL REQUIRED: Never create issues, post replies, or take external actions without explicit user approval.


Phase 4: Plan Next Steps

4a. Prioritise

From all gathered context (commits, issues, tasks, feedback), identify:

  1. Blockers: Things preventing progress
  2. High-priority: Bugs, urgent requests, deadlines
  3. Next up: Planned work, feature requests
  4. Backlog: Nice-to-haves, low-priority items
4b. Present (Not Posted)

Show the prioritised list to the user. This is for the user's planning only -- do NOT post it to any channel.

## Suggested Priorities

1. [BLOCKER] Fix auth on staging (from Rabin's feedback)
2. [HIGH] Complete API endpoint for user profiles (current sprint)
3. [NEXT] Dark mode support (from Daniel's request)
4. [BACKLOG] Refactor database queries

Graceful Degradation

The skill works at any level of tool availability:

Available toolsExperience
Git onlySummarise commits, output text for manual posting
Git + ChatFull post/read cycle, manual issue creation
Git + Chat + IssuesFull cycle with automated issue creation
Git + Chat + Issues + Tasks + KnowledgeFull cycle with persistent tracking

Operating Modes

The skill responds to different trigger phrases:

TriggerBehaviour
"team update" / "post update"Full cycle: gather, draft, post, read feedback
"check team chat" / "what did the team say"Phase 3 only: read and triage feedback
"standup" / "sync with team"Phase 1 + 2: gather and post, skip feedback
"project update"Phase 1 + 2 + 4: gather, post, plan (skip feedback triage)
"feedback loop"Phase 3 + 4: read feedback and plan
