Use exec-summary

Compress a long technical document, design doc, or proposal into a one-page executive summary aimed at non-technical or time-poor stakeholders

Compress a long technical document, design doc, or proposal into a one-page executive summary aimed at non-technical or time-poor stakeholders.

Reach for it when the user has a long doc and needs a 30-second readable version, or is writing a 1-pager for a steering committee, partner, or executive sponsor.

Install it

npx skilldrop-cli install exec-summary                 # Claude Code, your user folder
npx skilldrop-cli install exec-summary --project       # Claude Code, this repo
npx skilldrop-cli install exec-summary --ide cursor    # or kiro, codex, antigravity, copilot

It is part of the Stakeholder comms pack: --pack stakeholder-comms installs it with its neighbours.

Ask for it

Say it the way you would to a colleague. Requests like these route to it:

• "Summarize this design doc for our executives"
• "I need a one-page summary of this long proposal for a non-technical stakeholder"
• "Give me the 30-second version of this technical document"
• "Compress this into something our COO will actually read"

Requests like these belong to a different skill, so it shouldn't answer them:

• "Build me a PowerPoint of this"
• "Outline the slides for this presentation"
• "What should I change about how I present to a board audience?"

If another skill answers instead, ask for this one by name: "use exec-summary".

Check what you get

A good result:

• Quantify or qualify. Numbers are best ("\$2.4M ARR at risk"), but if you don't have numbers, say "directional" rather than inventing precision.
• Plain language. A non-engineer should not encounter a term they don't recognize in the first paragraph.
• No internal-team-speak. "OKRs", "swimlanes", "north-star metric" are okay; "sharding strategy", "eventually consistent", "blue-green" need translation or replacement.
• Active voice, second person where natural. "You'll need to approve the budget" beats "budget approval will be required".
