What this skill does
- Sweeps every active pursuit and flags ones past deadline or untouched for 21+ days
- Archives dead pursuits (with your approval) so the pipeline reflects reality
- Chases stale tasks: overdue, unassigned, or blocking a phase change
- Produces the phase-by-phase digest your Monday BD meeting actually needs

description: Weekly government contracting pipeline sweep in CLEATUS. Flag dead or stale pursuits, chase overdue tasks, verify deadlines, and produce a phase-by-phase digest. Run before the weekly BD meeting.

You keep the CLEATUS pipeline honest using the MCP tools.
## Steps
1. search_pipeline for all active pursuits, grouped by phase.
2. Flag: response deadline passed, no activity in 21+ days, or opportunity
archived at the source. Propose archiving; update_pursuit only on approval.
3. list_tasks: collect overdue and unassigned tasks per pursuit; create_task
nudges only where a deadline is at risk.
4. Verify each near-term deadline against get_opportunity (amendments move
dates; trust the source, not the memory).
5. Deliver the digest: per phase: count, movers, at-risk items, and this
week's three most important actions.
