What it does

Drafts a CSF quarterly update (Quarterly_Updates row) for a director to review and submit, by building an evidence timeline, checking it for contradictions, then calculating Traffic_Light and Progress_Percent with reasoning and emitting a validated JSON pack. Use whenever the user asks to draft, prepare, generate, or re-run a quarterly update, quarterly report, quarter-end update, CSF update, or Level 2 objective update — and whenever they point at an evidence folder or candidate pack and say "what's the update for this quarter", "run the next quarter", "do Q3", "draft the update for…

The skill itself

A skill is instructions the model reads, so you can see what you are getting: below is the start of its SKILL.md. The front matter loads with every session, the body loads when the skill triggers, and the whole file comes with the install.

8## What this produces and why the order matters
9
10You prepare a **draft** row of the CSF Quarterly_Updates list. A director reviews it, corrects it, and submits it. You never submit, never write to the system of record, and never resolve a decision that is the director's to make. That constraint comes from the CSF Digital Architecture principle: *AI services never write to the system of record — they read from it, or stage to it, with the director still seeing the structured row before submit.*
11
12The workflow runs in a fixed order, and the order is the point. The failure this workflow exists to prevent is a confident earlier claim (a submitted update, a donor report, a signed-off status) surviving into the new quarter after later evidence quietly corrected it. Reading the evidence all at once and writing a summary does not catch that — the optimistic framing is louder in the corpus than the correction. Laying every event on a single dated line first, then walking the line looking for events that contradict each other, does catch it.
13
14So: **timeline before contradictions, contradictions before numbers, numbers before narrative.** Do not shortcut forward. If you find yourself forming a traffic light while still reading documents, park it; the assessment in step 4 must be made against the reconciled timeline, not against your first impression.
15
16Each step writes a file. That makes the chain auditable — a director who disagrees with the Red can trace it to a contradiction, and that to a specific line of a specific email — and it lets you re-run one step without redoing the others.

20## Step 0 — Confirm the inputs, then open the run
21
22**Ask for the three inputs and wait for an answer before creating anything.** This is a gate, not a formality.
23
24Two reasons it earns the interruption. A draft built on an incomplete pack looks exactly like a draft built on a complete one — same confident row, same citations — and the missing document is usually the late one that would have changed the answer. And the run folder is version-numbered: opening it before the inputs are settled burns a version on a run that gets abandoned, which breaks the comparison between runs that the numbering exists to support.

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈270
always loaded
The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.

3.8%
of a 200k window
Ten skills this size would take about 38% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

7.7k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Heavy. Teams tend to install this one per project rather than globally, and load it only when the job comes up.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been set out here step by step. It is in the body of its SKILL.md: the start of it is shown above, and the whole file comes with the install.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

Its SKILL.md does not declare which tools it asks the agent for, so what it touches is whatever the instructions themselves ask for — read them before you install it.

What it asks for
Writes filesnot declared
Network accessnot declared

This SKILL.md carries no allowed-tools line, so neither is declared. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

6 files, 36.9 kB on disk. Mostly text — the instructions the model reads — with 2 scripts in it that your client would run only if the instructions tell it to. 1 file of its source is not in the download — listed after these, with why.

  • SKILL.md19.0 kB
  • README.md3.4 kB
  • references/csf-schema.md3.7 kB
  • references/output-format.md4.6 kB
  • scripts/new_run_folder.py1.3 kB
  • scripts/validate_update.py4.9 kB

Not in the download

Not carried is a type a skill download does not hold. Take it from its source.

  • .gitignorenot carried
What is not in it

A skill installs nothing and depends on nothing: it is a folder your client reads. This one carries 2 scripts beside the text, so the download is 6 files — not the whole of its source: 1 file is left out. It is listed under the files, with why.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

Windows PowerShell says 'running scripts is disabled on this system'? Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned once, or type npx.cmd instead of npx (codex.cmd, gemini.cmd, grok.cmd likewise). PowerShell 7 needs neither. Writes to .claude/skills/csf-quarterly-update-drafter/ in the current project. For every project instead, run mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/csf-quarterly-update-drafter/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/csf-quarterly-update-drafter" ] && { [ ! -e ~/.claude/skills/csf-quarterly-update-drafter ] || { mv ~/.claude/skills/csf-quarterly-update-drafter "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/csf-quarterly-update-drafter" ~/.claude/skills/ && echo "Installed ~/.claude/skills/csf-quarterly-update-drafter" (macOS, Linux) — or add --global to the npx line. The curl line replaces .claude/skills/csf-quarterly-update-drafter/ only after the download succeeds, so files left there by another skill of the same name, or by an older release, do not mix in. A copy already there is moved aside, not deleted, and the line prints where. It appears as csf-quarterly-update in Gemini CLI, Codex, Copilot and Grok (its own name); Claude Code lists it by the folder name, csf-quarterly-update-drafter. Not in this download: 1 file of its source (which one, and why). Take it from its source.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. Most of these read a skills folder and pick it up without being told; the rest take the same folder another way — an upload in the app, a parameter on an API call — and then choose it by its description just the same.

Versions

Its author publishes no version number, so there is nothing here to pin to: what you install is the folder as it stands today. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

Pinning

Nothing to pin to: this skill carries no version number of its own. What you install is what the folder holds on the day you install it.
