What it does

Donor Update is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a warm donor update or stewardship message that makes a supporter feel their gift mattered. Use when asked to write a donor update, a thank-you/stewardship email, a supporter newsletter, or a gift acknowledgement. Produces a donor-centred update — sincere thanks, the specific impact of their support, a brief story, and a light, optional next step — that strengthens the relationship and sets up the next gift.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 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 Writing & Content, covering Newsletters. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to write a donor update
  • A thank-you/stewardship email
  • A supporter newsletter
  • A gift acknowledgement

Example prompts

  • “/donor-update”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Donor Update loads about 902 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 446 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~902

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 warm donor update or stewardship message that makes a supporter feel their gift mattered. Use when asked to write a donor update, a thank-you/stewardship email, a supporter newsletter, or a gift acknowledgement. Produces a donor-centred update — sincere thanks, the specific impact of their support, a brief story, and a light, optional next step — that strengthens the relationship and sets up the next gift.

Donor Update Skill

Donor retention is cheaper than acquisition and runs on one feeling: my gift mattered and I'm appreciated. A stewardship update delivers that — thank them sincerely, show the concrete impact of their support, and make them feel part of the work, without immediately asking for more. This skill writes that message so donors stay donors.

Working from a brief

Given "write a thank-you update to our donors", produce the full message anyway — build it around the impact provided, and mark any invented figure or story as (example — replace with real data). Never fabricate impact as real; never withhold for missing detail.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided (else infer and label for replacement):

  • The audience — all donors, a segment (major/recurring/first-time), or one person; and how personal.
  • What their support did — the specific impact/outcome to report (numbers and/or a story).
  • The occasion — gift acknowledgement, periodic update, milestone, or year-end.
  • Tone & next step — your voice, and whether there's a light ask or purely stewardship (often better).

Output Format

Donor Update / Stewardship Message
  • Warm opening & thanks — sincere, specific gratitude up front (personalised where possible).
  • Your impact — what their support specifically made possible, concretely (a number and/or a moment) — "because of you, …".
  • A story or glimpse — one short, human illustration of the work in action.
  • Belonging — language that makes them part of the community/mission, not a transaction.
  • Light next step (optional) — an invitation (event, update, share) or, only if appropriate, a soft ask — never the focus of a stewardship message.
  • Sign-off — warm and personal, from a real person.

Provide a short version (for SMS/social/quick email) and mark invented specifics for replacement.

Quality Checks

  • Leads with sincere, specific thanks — not a thinly veiled new ask
  • Impact is concrete and donor-attributed ("because of you…"), not generic
  • Includes a human story or glimpse, not just numbers
  • Makes the donor feel part of the mission (belonging), not a transaction
  • Any ask is light and optional — stewardship first
  • Tone is warm and personal; invented figures are marked for replacement

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not make a "thank-you" that's really just another donation ask — stewardship builds the next gift
  • Do not be generic ("thanks for your support") — name the specific impact their gift had
  • Do not present invented impact as real — mark placeholders for the org
  • Do not write like a corporation — warmth and a real human voice retain donors
  • Do not omit the story — numbers thank the head, a story thanks the heart

Based On

Donor-stewardship practice — gratitude-first, impact attribution, storytelling, and relationship-building ahead of the next ask.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write a donor update."
  • "Write a thank-you email to our donors."
  • "Write a gift acknowledgement."
  • "Write our supporter newsletter."
