Turn ProjectTracker status JSON into repeatable GitHub comment scorecards, blocker radars, and weekly initiative digests for stakeholders.
About
GitHub Initiative Pulse is a template-oriented agent skill for solo builders and tiny teams who already use a ProjectTracker-style JSON report and want consistent, scannable GitHub posts instead of ad-hoc status comments. It packages ready-made markdown for initiative scorecards, high-risk issue radars, PR watchlists, and a discussion footer that cites refresh timestamps—aligned with tracker.py status output and optional GitHub Projects filters. The digest blueprint walks you from raw tracker data through initiatives under 80% completion, pairing two wins (merged PR links), two risks (open issues), and ETA lines derived from due dates, then tabulates metrics for week-over-week comparability. It does not run the tracker itself; it teaches how to structure narrative so blockers, owners, and next milestones stay visible between syncs. Best when you ship in public on GitHub and need Minister-style pulse posts without rebuilding the format each week.
- Markdown snippets for Initiative Scorecard tables (Done, Blockers, Next per initiative)
- Blocker Radar collapsible template with owner handles and mitigation ETAs
- PR Watchlist section for reviews awaiting sign-off
- Status Digest Blueprint: 4-step flow from tracker JSON to wins, risks, and milestone bullets
- GitHub search query hooks so readers can self-serve deeper issue context

GitHub Initiative Pulse
Overview
Turns tracker data and GitHub board metadata into initiative-level summaries. Provides markdown helpers and CSV exports for pasting into issues, PRs, or Discussions.
Ritual
1. Capture work via tracker.py add or sync from GitHub Projects. 2. Review blockers/highlights using the Blocker Radar table. 3. Generate GitHub comment via tracker.py status --github-comment or module snippets. 4. Cross-link the weekly Status Template and share with stakeholders.
Key Metrics
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Completion % | Done tasks / total tasks per initiative. |
| Avg Task % | Mean completion percent for all in-flight tasks. |
| Burn Rate | Hours burned per week (auto-calculated). |
| Risk Hotlist | Tasks flagged priority=High or due date in past. |
GitHub Integrations
- Links every task to an issue/PR URL.
- Supports auto-labeling by referencing
phasein the tracker record. - Encourages posting digests to coordination issues or PR timelines.
Exit Criteria
- All initiatives represented with updated metrics.
- Markdown digest pasted into relevant GitHub thread.
- Risk follow-ups filed as issues with owners and due dates.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
If metrics appear outdated, ensure tracker.py has successfully synced with GitHub. If the Markdown digest renders incorrectly in GitHub, check for unescaped characters in task titles or missing newlines between table rows.
GitHub Comment Snippets
Use these markdown snippets with tracker.py status --github-comment output for richer posts.
