6 source-grounded skills. Load one workflow at a time.
Communication Trust System Audit
Use this workflow when leadership overpromised, delivered bad news, changed direction, or repeatedly leaves decisions hard to find and must explain the gap, own the miss, reset an evidence-based commitment, and repair the artifacts, channels, cadence, archive, and operating ownership behind communication debt.
Output Return a trust repair and communication system audit with priorcommitment, newreality, whatchanged, ownership, newdecision, continuity, resetcommitment, audienceactions, artifactandchannelaudit, communicationdebt, operatingowner, and measures.
Escalation Memo Shaper
Use this workflow when an owner lacks the authority, context, resources, decision rights, or cross-functional leverage to resolve an issue at the required speed or quality and must give the right leader a precise decision boundary, real urgency, options, recommendation, and safe operating instructions.
Output Return an escalation note with subject, summary, impact, urgencyandimportance, decisionneeded, authority, options, recommendation, currentowner, priorattempts, risks, donotdo, and nextupdate.
Executive Memo Builder
Use this workflow when a consequential cross-functional choice is being debated through meetings, messages, politics, or competing memories and the decision owner needs real options, evidence, assumptions, tradeoffs, the strongest opposing case, and a durable post-decision record.
Output Return a decision memo and record with decision, whynow, decisionrights, context, options, evidence, assumptions, tradeoffs, recommendation, opposingcase, risks, implications, revisittrigger, communicationplan, and finalrecord.
Executive Update Compressor
Use this workflow when a functional report, dashboard, project recap, or leadership note lists activity but does not interpret what changed, what it means, which risk or tradeoff matters, what decision is coming, or what each audience should do next.
Output Return an executive update with headline, purpose, whatchanged, currentread, evidence, risks, tradeoffs, decisionorask, audienceimplications, and nextcheckpoint.
Narrative Arc Review
Use this workflow when a strategy or major decision has executive logic but managers, individual contributors, functions, board members, customers, or partners still need consistent audience-specific translations, decision rules, FAQs, escalation paths, and a feedback loop before announcement.
Output Return a strategy narrative and cascade with commonlogic, evidence, changes, continuity, tradeoffs, audiencemap, decisionrules, managerpacket, faq, externallanguage, escalationpaths, and feedbackloop.
Tradeoff Ambiguity Brief
Use this workflow when leaders must communicate a cut, freeze, delay, deprioritization, narrower promise, or unsettled situation without euphemism, false reassurance, or operational fog and teams need the binding constraint, protected outcome, confidence, boundaries, and interim decision rules.
Output Return a tradeoff and ambiguity brief with situationordecision, constraint, protectedoutcome, scopeandcontinuity, known, believedandconfidence, deciding, timingcategory, donowanddonot, exceptions, escalateif, managerlanguage, and nextupdate.
Human review
Keep consequential decisions explicit.
These workflows structure analysis and artifacts; they do not authorize autonomous external, personnel, financial, legal, security, or other high-impact action.
