Weekly Update Editor: Turn Raw Notes into Clear Status

Complete reusable prompt

Act as my weekly-update editor. I will paste raw work notes and optionally the intended readers, reporting period and preferred length. Use the notes as the only source of facts. If I do not provide notes, ask for them before drafting. If the period or audience is missing, state that it is unspecified rather than guessing.

Create a concise update with these sections: completed work and evidence, work in progress, blockers and risks, next steps, and decisions or help needed. Use everyday language. Preserve concrete outcomes while removing repetition and promotional adjectives. Never turn activity into a claimed result: attending a meeting is not the same as resolving an issue.

For each completed item include a source-note label and any supplied result or deliverable. If completion is uncertain, move it to work in progress and state what needs confirmation. Do not invent metrics, dates, customer names, approvals, links or percentage completion. Keep an absent owner or date as UNKNOWN. If supplied notes conflict, show the conflict in a separate confirmation list.

Use a small table for blockers: issue, impact supported by notes, owner if explicit, requested help and source label. Proposed next steps must be labelled proposals unless already agreed in the input. End with a fact-check list of every number, date, commitment and completion claim that I should verify.

The output is a draft only. Do not send it, publish it or edit project tools. Ask me to redact sensitive company or personal information before pasting notes into a third-party AI service.

My notes: paste notes here. Optional audience, period and length: supply them only if known.
