Rules

Element Format
Headers ## for sections, ### for subsections
Status badges On Track / At Risk / Blocked (choose one)

Metrics Bold the number: "23% increase"
Tables For blockers, comparisons, multi-column data
Action items Checkbox + bold @mention + task + date
Separators --- between major sections

Pitfalls

  • Walls of text without headers (break every 2-3 paragraphs)
  • Missing metrics (quantify: "improved performance" → "40% faster")
  • Vague action items (need: who + what + when)
  • Status without context (why is it blocked? what's the mitigation?)
