- project name
- current tasks/issues/PRs

- blockers and risks
- Pull current project state from the approved source of truth.
- Group work by status: done, active, blocked, stale, next.
- Identify risks, stale decisions, and hidden dependencies.
- Recommend the smallest useful next action.
- Produce a pulse memo.
