# sdlc-reports

Generate comprehensive SDLC reports including iteration status, metrics dashboards, and executive summaries.

## Triggers

- "iteration report"
- "sprint summary"
- "project report"
- "sdlc metrics"
- "status report"
- "executive summary"
- "phase report"

## Purpose

This skill generates SDLC reporting across all phases by:
- Aggregating metrics from multiple sources
- Tracking progress against milestones
- Generating stakeholder-appropriate reports
- Visualizing trends and health indicators
- Providing actionable insights

## Behavior

When triggered, this skill:

1. **Determines report type**:
   - Iteration/sprint report
   - Phase status report
   - Executive summary
   - Metrics dashboard
   - Custom report

2. **Aggregates data**:
   - Pull from project artifacts
   - Calculate derived metrics
   - Compare to baselines/targets

3. **Analyzes status**:
   - Progress vs plan
   - Risk status
   - Quality indicators
   - Team velocity

4. **Generates report**:
   - Format for audience
   - Include visualizations
   - Highlight key insights
   - Provide recommendations
