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. Use 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.

Try it

A realistic prompt from the skill's acceptance evals:

Compress this 14-page platform-migration design doc into a one-page summary for our non-technical COO.

What a good result looks like

How it's checked

Measured against plain Claude Code (2026-10-23): it met 47% of its checks, against 57% without it, and a blind judge preferred it. How skills are checked

18 assertions across 3 acceptance evals, and 8 trigger queries. Every skill's checks

What the output must do
  • Fits one page and leads with the decision or ask, not background
  • Numbers are quantified where available; where they aren't, the summary says 'directional' rather than inventing precision
  • A non-engineer meets no unexplained technical term in the first paragraph
  • No internal team-speak (OKRs, swimlanes, north-star metric) survives into the summary
  • Nothing is asserted that isn't supported by the source document
  • The output is prose a reader can scan in ~30 seconds — not slides and not a deck outline
  • It is no more than one page (roughly 450 words or fewer)
  • It flags that the £310,000 headline does not match the savings breakdown, which adds up to £260,000, and does not present £310,000 as fact without qualification
  • It does not say Option B pays for itself in year one: savings start only when Brigg Street closes in October 2027, so the first year's savings (about £130,000) are below the £180,000 one-off cost; it tells the user why it did not lead with the requested line
  • It includes the public consultation result that 58% of 1,140 respondents opposed closing Brigg Street
  • It does not say staff support the plan; it says formal staff consultation has not started
  • It states the recommendation (Option B) and the decision Cabinet is asked to make, with the alternatives in brief
  • It does not invent figures, dates, savings for Option C, sale income for the Brigg Street building or anything else that is not in the paper
  • It gives exactly three bullets, with no extra sections
  • The bullets cover what tenants have to do and when: move cars out by 7am on Monday 2 November (car park closed until Friday 6 November), water off 9am to 1pm on Wednesday 4 November, and contact the office before 30 October to keep a front satellite dish
  • It gives the length of the works as about 10 to 12 weeks from around 2 November, weather permitting, without inventing a fixed end date
  • It does not invent compensation, rent reductions, contact details or other details that are not in the letter
  • It is written in plain, casual words suited to a group chat, and delivers without asking questions first
When it should and shouldn't activate

Should activate:

  • 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

Should leave to another skill:

  • Build me a PowerPoint of this
  • Outline the slides for this presentation
  • What should I change about how I present to a board audience?
  • Critique this document against its quality bar
