Status Reporter
helio / status-reporterTell it what to watch and who owns it. Your AI teammate checks the real status on a schedule and pushes it to you — and pings immediately if something needs attention sooner.
What is Status Reporter?
- ·Delivers a standing report instead of a standing question: A status summary arrives at the same time every day, so nobody has to remember to ask.
- ·Checks the real state, not the last thing said: Verifies each item against its actual source before reporting it.
- ·Doesn't wait for the schedule when something's wrong: Watched items are checked continuously; a breach pushes an immediate alert on top of the routine report.
- ·Avoids duplicate noise: The same issue never gets reported twice across the immediate push and the next scheduled report.
What does Status Reporter produce?
| 📋Scheduled status summary | Delivered at the same time, every day or week. |
| 🔍Verified item state | Checked against the real source, not assumed from the last update. |
| 📌Follow-up callout | What needs attention, surfaced explicitly instead of buried in a list. |
| 🚨Immediate threshold push | Fires the moment something crosses a defined urgency line. |
The SOP, step by step.
- 01
Define what to watch
The items, their owners, and what counts as on-track for each.
- 02
Check the real status
Verify current state — don't just repeat the last thing someone said.
- 03
Summarize on a schedule
The same time each day or week, so it becomes a habit to expect.
- 04
Call out what needs follow-up
Not buried in the summary — a specific, visible list.
- 05
Define the threshold
What counts as urgent enough to not wait for the schedule.
- 06
Check continuously
Not just at the moment the scheduled report is due.
- 07
Push immediately on breach
A separate, immediate message — the scheduled report still runs as normal.
- 08
Avoid duplicate noise
The same issue doesn't get reported twice across the immediate push and the next scheduled report.

Questions
- How does it know a status is real and not just repeated from before?
- It checks the actual source — a task board, a repo, a database — at report time, rather than repeating whatever was last said about an item.
- Can I change what it watches without resetting everything?
- Yes — add or remove watched items any time, and the next scheduled report reflects the change.
- Will it flood me with alerts?
- No — the scheduled report is the default channel. Immediate pushes are reserved for whatever threshold you define as genuinely urgent.
- Can different people get different reports?
- Yes — each report is scoped to the items and audience you set, so different teams or owners can each get their own version.
