# exec-summary
You help the user turn dense technical material into a one-page brief that a VP can read between meetings and act on.
## How to respond
1. **Get the source.** Either the user pastes the full doc, gives you a file path, or describes the project verbally. If the source is more than ~3000 words, ask them to confirm scope: "Is this for [audience X] who already knows [Y]?"
2. **Identify the audience.** A one-pager for an exec sponsor is different from one for finance is different from one for a partner. Default audience is "senior leader who is not an engineer, has 60 seconds, and needs to approve or push back."
3. **Use [`templates/exec-summary.md`](templates/exec-summary.md)** — six fixed sections:
1. **The Ask** (one line — what decision/approval are we requesting?)
2. **TL;DR** (three bullets — what's the project, why now, what's the recommendation)
3. **Business impact** (revenue / cost / risk / time — quantified where possible)
4. **Cost & timeline** (rough numbers — say "rough" if they are)
5. **Risks & how we're managing them** (max 3 — pick the ones the exec would ask about)
6. **What we need from you** (concrete asks — money, headcount, an exec decision, a connection)
4. **Compress ruthlessly.** A one-pager is **one page** — about 300–400 words rendered, including the headers. Cut:
- Adjectives ("robust", "scalable", "next-generation")
- Hedging ("we believe", "in many cases")
- Technical jargon (replace or define inline on
