Project Tracker

Multi-project tracker with status dashboards, milestone tracking, stalled project detection, priority scoring, and automated weekly progress reports.

Security Scan

Instruction-only project management skill that only creates and edits local markdown project files and dashboards; its requirements and behavior are consistent with its stated purpose.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description (multi-project tracker, dashboards, stalled detection, weekly reports) align with the runtime instructions: creating/updating files under projects/, maintaining DASHBOARD.md, scoring/prioritizing projects, and producing weekly reviews. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or installs are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs the agent to create/read/update markdown files in a projects/ directory, produce reports, and detect stalled projects based on recent progress entries. It does not instruct the agent to read arbitrary system files, access network endpoints, or exfiltrate data. It references integration with a 'memory system' and other agent skills but does not include broad or vague instructions that would grant unconstrained access.

Install Mechanism

This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files. Nothing will be downloaded or written by an installer step as part of installation.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials, which is proportionate. It does reference integration with other agent components (daily-briefing, memory, solopreneur-assistant) — those integrations could cause the agent to share project data with other skills or memory stores, so users should verify what data those other skills hold and whether they are permitted to access it.

Persistence & Privilege

No special persistence or elevated privileges are requested (always:false). The skill will operate by creating/updating files in a user-visible projects/ directory — normal behavior for a tracker — and does not attempt to modify other skills' configurations or system-wide settings.

Assessment

This skill is internally consistent, but before enabling it: (1) back up any existing projects/ directory (it will create and update markdown files there); (2) review the generated files the first time the skill runs to ensure formatting and content meet your needs; (3) confirm how your agent's 'memory' and other integrated skills handle data, since the skill suggests logging decisions to memory (this may expose project contents to other agent components); (4) if you want to limit scope, run it in a sandboxed workspace or restrict the agent's filesystem access to the intended projects/ folder; (5) because the skill has no human-reviewed source/homepage, be cautious about enabling any autonomous workflows that would share project data externally.

Track every project in one place. Know what's moving, what's stalled, and what to kill.

Setup

Create projects/ directory and projects/DASHBOARD.md:

# Project Dashboard

Last updated: [date]

| Project | Status | Priority | Next Action | Due |
|---------|--------|----------|-------------|-----|

## Active Projects
<!-- Agent maintains this section -->

## On Hold
<!-- Paused but not abandoned -->

## Completed
<!-- Archive of finished work -->

How It Works

Adding a Project

When the user mentions a new project, create projects/<project-name>.md:

# Project: [Name]

**Status:** 🟢 Active | 🟡 On Hold | 🔴 Blocked | ✅ Done
**Priority:** P1 (critical) | P2 (important) | P3 (nice-to-have)
**Started:** [date]
**Target:** [deadline or "ongoing"]
**One-liner:** [what this project is in one sentence]

## Milestones

- [ ] Milestone 1 — [description] — [target date]
- [ ] Milestone 2 — [description] — [target date]

## Progress Log

### [date]
- What happened today

## Decisions

| Date | Decision | Rationale |
|------|----------|-----------|

## Blockers

- [blocker] → [who/what can unblock it]

Dashboard Updates

Update projects/DASHBOARD.md whenever:

• A project status changes
• A milestone is completed
• A new project is added
• During weekly reviews

Stalled Project Detection

A project is stalled if:

• No progress log entry in 7+ days
• Status is 🟢 Active but no recent milestone movement
• Has unresolved blockers older than 3 days

Flag stalled projects in daily briefings or heartbeat checks:

⚠️ Stalled: [Project Name] — no updates in [N] days. Continue, pause, or kill?

Weekly Review Format

Generate every Sunday (or on request):

# Weekly Project Review — [date range]

## Summary
- **Active:** [N] projects
- **Completed this week:** [list]
- **Stalled:** [list]
- **New:** [list]

## Per-Project Status
### [Project Name]
- **Progress:** [what moved]
- **Blockers:** [any]
- **Next week:** [planned actions]

## Recommendations
- [Kill/pause/accelerate suggestions based on patterns]

Priority Scoring

When the user has too many active projects, help prioritize:

Factor	Weight	Score (1-5)
Revenue potential	30%
Time to completion	20%
Strategic alignment	25%
Personal energy/interest	15%
Dependency (blocks other work)	10%

Weighted score = Σ(weight × score). Projects below 2.5 are candidates for pause/kill.

Integration

• With daily-briefing: Include project summary in morning briefings
• With solopreneur-assistant: Feed project data into business dashboard
• With memory system: Log project decisions in daily memory files

Customization

• Review cadence: Weekly (default), biweekly, or monthly
• Stale threshold: 7 days (default), adjust per project type
• Dashboard format: Table (default) or kanban-style list
• Priority weights: Adjust scoring factors to match user's values

Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
Dashboard out of sync	Re-scan projects/ directory, rebuild from individual files
Too many active projects	Run priority scoring, recommend pause/kill for bottom 30%
Stalled detection too aggressive	Increase stale threshold for long-cycle projects
Missing progress entries	Set up heartbeat reminder to log daily
