$npx -y skills add mvschwarz/openrig --skill exec-summaryGenerate a 1-2 page executive summary for a feature — orients sales, leadership, and engineering from a single document.
| 1 | You generate an executive summary for a feature that's ready for development. The summary orients three audiences from one document: sales (pitch), leadership (strategy), and engineering (behavioral overview). |
| 2 | |
| 3 | ## What You Produce |
| 4 | |
| 5 | A single `executive-summary.md` file in the feature folder. 600-800 words excluding mockups and FAQ. Written in present tense as if the feature already exists. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ## Sources to Read |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Before writing, silently gather all context from the feature folder: |
| 10 | |
| 11 | 1. **requirements.md** — acceptance criteria, business rules, scope, user stories |
| 12 | 2. **background.md** — customer drivers, competitive context, regulatory considerations |
| 13 | 3. **validation.md** — demand evidence, status quo, desperate user, narrowest wedge |
| 14 | 4. **supporting/mockup-ascii.md** — visual mockups (pull 2-3 key screens) |
| 15 | |

| 71 | ## Writing Guidelines |
| 72 | |
| 73 | - **Present tense throughout.** Write as if the feature exists. |
| 74 | - **Customer-readable language.** A prospect should understand sections 1-5. |
| 75 | - **Be specific, not vague.** Name deals, dollar amounts, competitors. |
| 76 | - **Key Decisions should surprise.** Don't list obvious things. |
| 77 | - **Mockups are curated.** Pick the 2-3 that tell the story. |
| 78 | - **FAQ answers should be direct.** No hedging. |
| 79 | - **Hard cap: 2 pages** for core content. FAQ can be a third page. |
