team-communications

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Write internal company communications — 3P updates (Progress/Plans/Problems), company-wide newsletters, FAQ roundups, incident reports, leadership updates, status reports, project updates, and general internal comms. Use this skill any time the user asks to draft, edit, or format something meant for internal audiences. Trigger on keywords like "3P", "weekly update", "newsletter", "FAQ", "internal comms", "status report", "company update", "team update", "incident report", or any request to summarize work for leadership, teammates, or the broader company. Even casual requests like "write my update" or "summarize what my team did this week" should trigger this skill.

Internal Comms

Originally contributed by maximcoding — enhanced and integrated by the claude-skills team.

Write polished internal communications by loading the right reference file, gathering context, and outputting in the company's exact format.

Routing

Identify the communication type from the user's request, then read the matching reference file before writing anything:

Type	Trigger phrases	Reference file
3P Update	"3P", "progress plans problems", "weekly team update", "what did we ship"	`references/3p-updates.md`
Newsletter	"newsletter", "company update", "weekly/monthly roundup", "all-hands summary"	`references/company-newsletter.md`
FAQ	"FAQ", "common questions", "what people are asking", "confusion around"	`references/faq-answers.md`
General	anything internal that doesn't match above	`references/general-comms.md`

If the type is ambiguous, ask one clarifying question — don't guess.

Workflow

Read the reference file for the matched type. Follow its formatting exactly.
Gather inputs. Use available MCP tools (Slack, Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar) to pull real data. If no tools are connected, ask the user to provide bullet points or raw context.
Clarify scope. Confirm: team name (for 3Ps), time period, audience, and any specific items the user wants included or excluded.
Draft. Follow the format, tone, and length constraints from the reference file precisely. Do not invent a new format.
Present the draft and ask if anything needs to be added, removed, or reworded.

Tone & Style (applies to all types)

Use "we" — you are part of the company.
Active voice, present tense for progress, future tense for plans.
Concise. Every sentence should carry information. Cut filler.
Include metrics and links wherever possible.
Professional but approachable — not corporate-speak.
Put the most important information first.

When tools are unavailable

If the user hasn't connected Slack, Gmail, Drive, or Calendar, don't stall. Ask them to paste or describe what they want covered. You're formatting and sharpening — that's still valuable. Mention which tools would improve future drafts so they can connect them later.

Anti-Patterns

Anti-Pattern	Why It Fails	Better Approach
Writing updates without reading the reference template first	Output won't match company format — user has to reformat	Always load the matching reference file before drafting
Inventing metrics or accomplishments	Internal comms must be factual — fabrication destroys trust	Only include data the user provided or MCP tools retrieved
Using passive voice for accomplishments	"The feature was shipped" hides who did the work	"Team X shipped the feature" — active voice credits the team
Writing walls of text for status updates	Leadership scans, doesn't read — key info gets buried	Lead with the headline, follow with 3-5 bullet points
Sending without confirming audience	A team update reads differently from a company-wide newsletter	Always confirm: who will read this?
