name: generate-report-header description: Create standardized report headers with metadata for all agent-generated reports. Use when generating bug reports, security audits, dependency reports, or any worker output requiring consistent formatting.

Generate Report Header

Create consistent, well-formatted headers for all agent-generated reports with proper metadata.

When to Use

• Beginning of all worker-generated reports
• Summary documents
• Validation reports
• Audit reports
• Any standardized output requiring header

Instructions

Step 1: Collect Header Information

Gather required information for header.

Expected Input:

• reportType: String (e.g., "Bug Hunting", "Security Audit", "Version Update")
• version: String (e.g., "0.8.0", "2025-10-17", "final")
• status: String (success|partial|failed|in_progress)
• timestamp: String (optional, ISO-8601 format, defaults to current time)
• duration: String (optional, e.g., "3m 45s", "1h 12m")
• workflow: String (optional, e.g., "bugs", "security", "dead-code", "dependencies")
• phase: String (optional, e.g., "detection", "fixing", "verification")
• additionalMetadata: Object (optional, extra fields)

Step 2: Format Timestamp

Convert timestamp to readable format if needed.

Format: "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss UTC"

Example: "2025-10-17 14:30:00 UTC"

Step 3: Determine Status Emoji

Map status to appropriate emoji.

Status Mapping:

• success: ✅
• partial: ⚠️
• failed: ❌
• in_progress: 🔄

Step 4: Generate Header

Create formatted markdown header.

Expected Output:

# {ReportType} Report: {Version}

**Generated**: {Timestamp}
**Status**: {StatusEmoji} {Status}
**Version**: {Version}
**Duration**: {Duration} (if provided)
**Workflow**: {Workflow} (if provided)
**Phase**: {Phase} (if provided)

## Executive Summary

Standard Metrics (include when available):

• Timestamp (ISO-8601)
• Duration (human-readable)
• Workflow (domain: bugs, security, dead-code, dependencies)
• Phase (detection, fixing, verification)
• Validation Status (✅ PASSED, ⛔ FAILED, ⚠️ PARTIAL)

Step 5: Add Optional Metadata

Include additional metadata fields if provided.

Optional Fields:

• Agent name
• Duration
• File count
• Issue count
• Any custom fields

Error Handling

• Missing Report Type: Return error requesting report type
• Invalid Status: Return error listing valid statuses
• Invalid Timestamp: Use current time and warn

Examples
