Product progress overview

Overview

Technical pull request descriptions don’t mean much to non-engineers, but stakeholders still need to know what shipped. This preset translates code changes into business-friendly summaries anyone can understand.

What this is for

This preset solves the communication gap between engineering and the rest of the organization. Your team ships meaningful work every week, but PR titles like “Refactor user auth module” and “Fix race condition in payment processor” don’t tell product managers or executives what actually changed for customers. You end up playing translator, manually converting technical work into business impact.

The Product progress overview preset does that translation automatically. Every Friday, it analyzes merged PRs and organizes them into high-level themes based on which part of the product was affected, written in language non-technical stakeholders can actually understand. You can share it directly with product, marketing, or leadership without having to rewrite everything.

Who should use this

Engineering managers reporting to non-technical leaders who need to explain what shipped without technical jargon. You’ll have executive-friendly summaries ready to go instead of translating on the fly in meetings.

Developer relations managers writing release notes or changelogs for external audiences. You’ll get customer-facing language instead of commit messages.

Product managers who need to communicate what engineering shipped to stakeholders and customers. You’ll understand what changed without having to ask engineers to explain every PR.

The prompt
