project_status_update_email
Write a client-ready project status update email detailing completed work, progress, next steps, and any blockers or requests. Keep clients informed without needing a meeting.
Instructions
Write a clear, scannable project status update email to send to a client on a regular cadence (weekly, bi-weekly, or at a milestone). Covers what was completed, what is in progress, and what is coming next — with optional sections for blockers and items needed from the client. Keeps clients informed without requiring a call. Does not count against your monthly draft limit. Required: client_name, project_name, completed. Optional: in_progress, coming_next, blockers, items_needed (what you need from the client), timeline_status (on_track / ahead / at_risk / delayed), your_name.
