What is github-initiative-pulse used for?

Outputs markdown digests and CSV exports for GitHub issues and PRs to support status reports, weekly updates, stakeholder briefings, and initiative health tracking.

Can I customize the digest format?

Yes. Use the provided status-digest outputs and github-comment-snippets, and tailor the included sections. Ensure proper escaping of characters and correct table formatting.

What are the exit criteria and common issues?

Exit criteria include updated metrics for all initiatives, the Markdown digest pasted into the relevant GitHub thread, and risk follow-ups filed as issues with owners and due dates. Common issues: metrics may appear outdated if tracker.py hasn't synced with GitHub; Markdown digest can render incorrectly if task titles contain unescaped characters or if table rows are not properly separated.
