Csf Quarterly Update — Development skill for Claude Code

csf-quarterly-update

An [Agent Skill](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/agent-skills/overview) that drafts a CSF quarterly update (a `Quarterly_Updates` row) for a director to review and submit.

It builds a dated evidence timeline first, walks that timeline for contradictions, then calculates `Traffic_Light` and `Progress_Percent` with written reasoning, and emits a validated JSON pack. The order is the point: laying every event on one dated line before assessing is what stops a confident earlier claim — a submitted update, a donor report, a signed-off status — from surviving into the new quarter after later evidence quietly corrected it.

The skill produces a **draft only**. It never submits and never writes to the system of record; the director sees the structured row before submit.

Install

Claude Desktop (upload as a zip)

1. Download the zip. Grab `csf-quarterly-update.zip` from the latest release — it is already packaged in the structure the uploader expects: one top-level csf-quarterly-update/ folder with SKILL.md at its root. You can also use the green Code → Download ZIP button on this repo, but then unzip it, rename the csf-quarterly-update-main folder to csf-quarterly-update, and re-zip that folder before uploading.
2. Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Capabilities.
3. Turn on code execution / file creation if it is not already on. Skills run in the code sandbox, so the Skills section stays hidden until that is enabled.
4. Under Skills, choose "Upload skill" and select the .zip file. Do not unzip it first — upload the archive itself.
5. Confirm it appears in the skill list as csf-quarterly-update, and leave it enabled.

Then just ask for a quarterly update in a new chat — e.g. *"draft the Q3 update for OBJ-2026-07 from this evidence folder"* — and the skill triggers on its own from its description. Attach or paste your ob
