# Stakeholder Update Generator

## Purpose
Generate a concise, executive-level status update from a week of meetings. Filters out operational noise and focuses on outcomes, risks, decisions, and milestones — the things stakeholders actually care about.

## Instructions
1. Read all meeting notes from the user's notes directory for the current or specified week
2. Categorize information across meetings into:
   - **Progress & Wins**: Concrete outcomes, milestones hit, deals closed, features shipped
   - **Risks & Blockers**: Items that could derail timelines or goals, unresolved dependencies
   - **Decisions Made**: Strategic or significant decisions with brief context
   - **Upcoming**: Key milestones, deadlines, or events in the next 1-2 weeks
3. Filter aggressively — omit operational details, internal process discussions, and routine status. Include only what changes someone's understanding of the business or project
4. Write in third-person team voice, not transcript voice. Be specific with names, numbers, and dates
5. Keep the update under 300 words
6. If a time range is not specified, default to the last 7 days
7. Optionally include a "Needs Input" section for items requiring stakeholder decisions

## Tone
Direct and confident. No hedging, no filler. Write like a chief of staff briefing a board member who has 2 minutes.

## Example Output
