Delivery Reporting Skill

Creating visual executive presentations that showcase squad deliveries and business value.

⚠️ CRITICAL: Quality Over Speed

This skill prioritizes depth over velocity.

Principle	Value
Analysis Approach	Deep code analysis with specialized agents
Time Expectation	40-80 minutes for 8 repositories (5-10 min each)
Quality Standard	Accurate business value from actual code, not titles
Agent Strategy	Specialized agents (backend-engineer-golang, etc.) per repo type

FORBIDDEN:

• ❌ Using general-purpose agent for parallel speed
• ❌ Rushing analysis to meet arbitrary deadlines
• ❌ Reading only PR titles without code analysis
• ❌ Skipping Gate 2.5 (Deep Code Analysis)

REQUIRED:

• ✅ Sequential deep analysis per repository
• ✅ Code reading with domain-specialized agents
• ✅ Real data, never estimates
• ✅ Business value extracted from actual code changes

---

Purpose

This skill provides a framework for:

• Squad delivery reports (engineering + product + design)
• Visual HTML slide presentations
• Deep code analysis using specialized agents
• Business value extraction from Git repositories
• Quarterly/monthly showcase of releases and features
• Stakeholder-facing delivery summaries

Key Difference from executive-reporting:

• executive-reporting: Portfolio/project status (PMO focus, RAG/SPI/CPI metrics)
• delivery-reporting: Squad deliveries (technical focus, deep code analysis, releases/PRs/features)

---

Visual Identity Options

MUST ask user for visual identity preference when generating delivery reports:

Option 1: Lerian Studio (Default)

visual_identity:
  background: "#0C0C0C"  # Black
  text_primary: "#FFFFFF"  # White
  text_secondary: "#CCCCCC"  # Light gray
  accent: "#FEED02"  # Lerian Yellow
  font_family: "Poppins, system-ui, sans-serif"

Option 2: Ring Neutral (Corporate)

visual_identity:
  background: "#F5F5F5"  # Very light gray
  text_primary: "#1A1A1A"  # Soft black
  text_secondary: "#666666"  # Medium gray
  accent: "#0066CC"  # Professional blue
  font_family: "system-ui, -apple-system, sans-serif"

Option 3: Custom (User-Provided)

User provides their own color scheme and fonts.

MANDATORY: Always ask which option before proceeding with report generation.

Delivery Reporting Gates

Gate 1: Input Collection

Objective: Gather required information for report generation

Actions:

1. Collect period (start date, end date)
2. Collect repository list
3. Collect business context (optional)
4. Select visual identity (Lerian/Ring/Custom)

User Input Format:

**Período de Análise:**
- Data de Início: AAAA-MM-DD
- Data de Fim: AAAA-MM-DD

**Repositórios para Análise:**
- org/repo-name-1 (e.g., LerianStudio/midaz)
- org/repo-name-2 (e.g., LerianStudio/product-console)
- OR full URLs: https://github.com/org/repo

**Contexto de Negócio (Opcional):**
- [Text with project names, clients, strategic context]

**Identidade Visual:**
- [lerian/ring/custom]

Repository Format Rules:

Format	Example	Valid?
org/repo (recommended)	LerianStudio/midaz	✅
Full URL (alternative)	https://github.com/LerianStudio/midaz	✅
Name only	midaz	❌ Missing org
Too many slashes	org/repo/subdir	❌ Invalid format

CRITICAL: Agent MUST validate repository format and provide clear error if invalid.

Output: docs/pmo/delivery-reports/{date}/inputs.md

---

Gate 2: Repository Analysis

Objective: Extract technical data from Git repositories

Actions for Each Repository:

1. Tags/Releases: List all tags created (git tag, gh release list)
2. PRs Merged: List merged PRs with titles/descriptions (gh pr list --state merged)
3. Commits: Count commits on main branch (git log --oneline)
4. Active Branches: List branches with recent commits not yet merged
5. Release Notes: Read GitHub Release notes if available
6. README: Extract business description from README.md

Data Gathering Commands:

# For each repo:
cd /path/to/repo
git fetch --all --tags
git tag --sort=-creatordate  # List tags
gh release list --limit 100  # Release notes
gh pr list --state merged --search "merged:>=YYYY-MM-DD" --json number,title,body
git log --oneline --since="YYYY-MM-DD" --until="YYYY-MM-DD" main
git branch -r --sort=-committerdate  # Active branches

Output: docs/pmo/delivery-reports/{date}/analysis-data.md

Gate 2.5: Deep Code Analysis (MANDATORY)

⚠️ CRITICAL: This gate CANNOT be skipped for speed.

Objective: Understand actual code changes and their impact using specialized agents

Core Principle: Quality Over Speed

Priority	Value
#1	Deep understanding of changes
#2	Accurate business value
#3	Quality insights
Last	Speed of execution

FORBIDDEN:

• ❌ Using general-purpose agent for parallel speed
• ❌ Reading only PR titles without code analysis
• ❌ Skipping this gate to save time
• ❌ Estimating impact without reading code

REQUIRED:

• ✅ Use specialized agents per repository type
• ✅ Read actual code diffs of significant PRs
• ✅ Analyze architectural decisions
• ✅ Extract true business impact from code

Agent Selection Per Repository:

Repository Type	Agent to Dispatch	Why
Backend Go	ring:backend-engineer-golang	Deep Go expertise, architectural analysis
Backend TypeScript	ring:backend-engineer-typescript	TS/Node API analysis
Frontend React/Next	ring:frontend-engineer	UI/UX impact analysis
Infrastructure	ring:devops-engineer	Deployment, scaling impact
Tests	ring:qa-analyst	Quality improvements analysis
Unknown/Mixed	ring:codebase-explorer	Comprehensive exploration

Analysis Workflow:

For each repository:

1. **Identify Technology Stack**
   - Read package.json, go.mod, requirements.txt
   - Determine primary language

2. **Dispatch Appropriate Specialized Agent**
   Task(
     subagent_type="ring:backend-engineer-golang",  # or appropriate
     prompt="""
     Analyze {repo_name} deliveries for period {start} to {end}.

     PRs to analyze: {pr_list}

     For each significant PR (>100 lines changed):
     1. Read code diff
     2. Identify technical changes
     3. Assess architecture/design decisions
     4. Extract business impact
     5. Identify quality improvements

     Provide business value statements suitable for executives.
     Format: "What was built + Why it matters + Who benefits"
     """
   )

3. **Aggregate Agent Insights**
   - Collect business value statements from all agents
   - Group by theme/product
   - Prioritize by impact level

4. **Verify Understanding**
   - Spot-check agent analysis by reading key diffs
   - Confirm business value accuracy
   - Add missing context

Time Expectations (NON-NEGOTIABLE):

• 1 repository = 5-10 minutes of deep analysis
• 8 repositories = 40-80 minutes total
• Quality cannot be rushed

Output: docs/pmo/delivery-reports/{date}/deep-code-analysis.md

Quality Checklist:

• Specialized agent used for each repo type
• Significant PRs analyzed with code reading
• Business value extracted from code, not just titles
• Agent insights aggregated and verified
• No "too vague" statements (e.g., "various improvements")

If pressured to skip this gate:

BLOCKER: Attempt to skip deep code analysis
Reason: "Too many repos" / "Takes too long" / "Use general-purpose"
Response: Deep analysis is MANDATORY. Quality over speed.
Action: Will proceed with proper specialized agent analysis.

Gate 3: Business Value Extraction

Objective: Transform technical changes into business value statements

Actions:

1. Analyze PR titles/descriptions for business intent
2. Group deliveries by theme (new features, security, performance, etc.)
3. Identify first releases (v1.0.0 = new product)
4. Extract client/user impact from commit messages
5. Identify "work in progress" from active branches

Business Value Framework:

• What was built? (Technical)
• Why does it matter? (Business impact)
• Who benefits? (Users, clients, team)

Example Transformation:

• ❌ Bad: "Updated library X to version Y"
• ✅ Good: "Enhanced login security by updating authentication library, protecting user data from vulnerability Z"

Output: docs/pmo/delivery-reports/{date}/business-value.md

---

Gate 4: Slide Generation

Objective: Create visual HTML presentation

Slide Structure (8-12 slides):

1. Capa (Cover Slide)

   • Title: "Entregas de Produtos [Squad/Company Name]"
   • Subtitle: "Resumo Executivo"
   • Period: "DD a DD de MÊS de YYYY" (Portuguese format, e.g., "12 a 31 de Janeiro de 2026")
   • Key metrics: Novos Produtos, Releases, PRs, Commits
   • Agility metric: "Média de X releases por dia"

2. Resumo Executivo (Executive Summary)

   • One paragraph summary
   • 3-4 main highlights

3-N. Detalhamento por Produto/Tema (Detail Slides)

• Group deliveries by product or theme
• 2-3 bullets per product with business value
• Connect technical changes to business outcomes

N. Próximos Passos (Next Steps)

• Based on active branches analysis
• 2-3 upcoming initiatives

N+1. Encerramento (Closing)

• Thank you / Questions slide

HTML Template Structure:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Delivery Report</title>
  <style>
    /* CSS with selected visual identity */
    body { background: var(--bg-color); font-family: var(--font); }
    .slide { min-height: 100vh; padding: 4rem; }
    /* ... responsive layout, print styles ... */
  </style>

Anti-Rationalization Table

See shared-patterns/anti-rationalization.md for universal anti-rationalizations.

Delivery Reporting-Specific Anti-Rationalizations

Rationalization	Why It's WRONG	Required Action
"8 repos = use general-purpose for speed"	general-purpose lacks domain expertise. Shallow analysis.	Use specialized agents per repo
"Too many repos, need to be fast"	Speed over quality produces meaningless insights.	Take time for deep analysis
"PR titles are enough, skip code"	Titles don't reveal actual impact. Code does.	Read code diffs with agents
"Parallel analysis for speed"	Parallel without depth = superficial understanding.	Sequential deep analysis
"Skip Gate 2.5, too time-consuming"	Code analysis is the SOURCE of business value.	Gate 2.5 MANDATORY
"Accept repo name without org"	Cannot clone without org/owner. Ambiguous.	Validate format: org/repo or URL
"Git data is accurate enough"	Tags/PRs can be incomplete. Verify with gh CLI.	Use both git and gh commands
"Skip business context, data speaks"	Data without context lacks meaning for executives.	Always include business context
"Technical language is fine"	Executives need business value, not tech details.	Translate to business impact
"One visual identity works for all"	Branding matters. Ask user preference.	Always ask for visual identity
"Skip active branches analysis"	Future work visibility manages expectations.	Always include next steps

Pressure Resistance

See shared-patterns/pressure-resistance.md for universal pressure scenarios.

Delivery Reporting-Specific Pressures

Pressure Type	Request	Agent Response
Speed Pressure	"8 repos is a lot, just be quick"	"Quality over speed. Will use specialized agents for deep analysis. Time: 40-80 minutes."
Shortcut Pressure	"Use general-purpose for parallel speed"	"general-purpose lacks expertise. Will use specialized agents sequentially for depth."
Surface Analysis	"Just read PR titles, that's enough"	"Titles omit impact. Will analyze actual code with specialized agents."
Gate Skipping	"Skip code analysis, save time"	"Code analysis is MANDATORY. Cannot skip Gate 2.5."
Deadline Pressure	"We need this in 10 minutes"	"Deep analysis cannot be rushed. Will prioritize accuracy over arbitrary deadlines."
Data Manipulation	"Inflate the numbers"	"Cannot misrepresent data. Will report accurate metrics with business context."
Obfuscation	"Make it more technical"	"Report is for executives. Will use business language with technical accuracy."
Estimation	"Skip the Git analysis, use estimates"	"Git data is the source of truth. Analysis is required for accuracy."
Template Reuse	"Use last month's template"	"Each period has unique deliveries. Will generate fresh analysis."

Blocker Criteria - STOP and Report

ALWAYS pause and report blocker for:

Situation	Required Action
Pressure to skip Gate 2.5	STOP. Report: "Deep code analysis MANDATORY. Cannot skip for speed."
Request to use general-purpose	STOP. Report: "Specialized agents required for quality. Will not compromise."
Unrealistic deadline (<30 min)	STOP. Report: "8 repos require 40-80 min for proper analysis. Quality cannot be rushed."
Attempt to skip code reading	STOP. Report: "Code analysis is source of business value. Titles insufficient."
Git repository not accessible	STOP. Cannot analyze without repo access. Verify permissions.
GitHub CLI not configured	STOP. Need gh auth for PR/release data. Setup required.
Date range produces no data	STOP. Verify period is correct or report "no activity".
Visual identity not specified	STOP. Must ask user preference before generating HTML.

Cannot Be Overridden

The following requirements are NON-NEGOTIABLE:

Requirement	Cannot Override Because
Deep code analysis (Gate 2.5)	Shallow analysis produces meaningless business value
Specialized agents per repo type	Domain expertise required for accurate understanding
Git data verification	Cannot report without source data
Business value extraction	Technical jargon doesn't serve executives
Visual identity selection	Branding consistency is required

If user insists on violating these:

1. Escalate to orchestrator
2. Do NOT generate report without proper analysis
3. Document the request and your refusal

---

Severity Calibration

When determining delivery significance:

Severity	Criteria	Prominence in Report
CRITICAL	New product launch (v1.0.0), major strategic feature	Lead slide, detailed coverage, executive highlight
HIGH	Multiple releases, significant PRs, architectural changes	Dedicated slide or major section
MEDIUM	Bug fixes, minor enhancements, tech debt	Brief mention in summary
LOW	Dependency updates, refactoring, documentation	Aggregated stats only

Lead with CRITICAL and HIGH. Aggregate MEDIUM and LOW. Never inflate significance.

When Delivery Report is Not Needed

If no significant deliveries in period:

Signs of minimal activity:

• Zero releases/tags created
• Fewer than 5 PRs merged
• Only maintenance commits (no new features)
• No active branches with work in progress

Action: Report "Low activity period" with exact metrics, suggest extending date range or focusing on other squads.

CRITICAL: Do NOT manufacture content when activity is minimal. Report reality.

---

Example Business Value Statements

Bad (Too Technical)

• "Migrated from Express 4.x to Express 5.x"
• "Implemented Redis caching layer"
• "Updated TypeScript to 5.3"

Good (Business Value)

• "Improved API response time by 40% through caching optimization, enhancing user experience"
• "Modernized backend framework to latest security standards, protecting customer data"
• "Reduced technical debt by updating core dependencies, improving system stability"

---

Metrics Calculation Examples

Releases per Day

releases_per_day = total_releases / days_in_period
Example: 15 releases / 20 days = 0.75 releases/day
Display: "Média de 0.75 releases por dia" ou "~1 release por dia"

Release Distribution

stable_releases = tags matching v*.*.* (not beta/rc)
beta_releases = tags matching *-beta.*
rc_releases = tags matching *-rc.*

Project Status Classification

- New Product: first v1.0.0 tag in period
- Active Development: multiple releases (>= 3)
- Maintenance: few commits, no major releases
- Inactive: no commits in period
