What it does
When installed, the agent structures analytics and findings as a story: it leads with the key insight, sets up context and baseline, builds through supporting data points, and closes with recommendations and next steps. It also applies guidance on choosing clear visuals and avoiding data dumps or jargon. The skill is written guidance rather than a tool, so it changes how the agent frames and presents information.
Great for
- Analysts preparing executive or board presentations
- Teams writing quarterly business reviews or data-driven reports
- Anyone translating technical metrics for non-technical audiences
Skip it if
- Producing exact calculations or statistics: the skill only shapes narrative, so the numbers still need to be checked against the source data (a persuasive frame can overstate weak results)
- Tasks needing hands-on chart generation or software: the visible files contain no scripts or tooling
Try asking
- “Turn this quarter's sales numbers into a 5-slide executive narrative with a clear recommendation”
- “Restructure my churn analysis report so the key insight comes first”
- “Suggest the visuals and call to action for an investor update on our revenue growth”
