What it does

When installed, this skill tells the AI agent to take long or scattered material (meeting notes, research, sales feedback, product data) and reshape it into a one-page executive memo. The memo leads with the decision needed and a firm recommendation with a confidence level, then lists key evidence, a comparison of options, risks with mitigations, and next actions. It also offers three HTML layout styles (a light memo, a dark 'command center' for urgent decisions, and a formal board paper) that the agent picks from based on the situation.

Great for

  • Managers or founders who need to prepare a decision memo for executives or a board quickly
  • Analysts who want to turn a long report into a short, decision-focused summary
  • Teams preparing go/no-go, launch, or risk-response decisions who want a consistent format

Skip it if

  • Meeting minutes, weekly status reports, or product requirement documents, since the skill explicitly says it is none of those (wrong format for the job)
  • Decisions where the input facts are missing or unverified: the skill asks the agent not to invent numbers, but the memo can still look authoritative if the source material is weak, so a human must check the evidence
  • Formal legal, financial, or compliance sign-off, which needs qualified human review regardless of how polished the memo looks

Try asking

  • “Turn these sales call notes and product usage numbers into a one-page memo on whether we should move to the Enterprise Plan”
  • “Summarise this 20-page market research report into a decision memo with three options and a recommendation”
  • “Create a dark command-style go/no-go memo for tomorrow's product launch gate using the attached risk log”
  • “Draft a formal board paper on the proposed marketing budget increase from these finance notes”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Paste all the raw material (notes, figures, feedback) in one go, and say who the audience is (CEO, board, operations) so the agent picks the right style template.
  • Check the 'Evidence gaps' section the agent produces and fill in missing facts before the memo goes to decision-makers.
  • Ask for the decision path (approve, reject, ask for more evidence) to be rewritten for your specific organisation's approval process.
