# executive-summary-writer
The skill that produces 1-page executive summaries from research notes. Tunes length, voice, format, and section emphasis per named audience by reading a Markdown preferences doc the user maintains in Obsidian. First skill in the toolkit to do per-audience personalization — every exec read of a research finding can be calibrated to that exec's actual taste.
## When to use
**Only on explicit user request.** Triggers include:
- `"Summarize that research for the CISO."`
- `"Give me an exec summary of the latest Copilot research."`
- `"Produce a 1-page version of <note> for VP Eng."`
- `"I need CISO + VP Eng + Default versions of this for sharing."`
Research notes do NOT auto-convert into exec summaries when they're written. The Category 1 researchers (`copilot-deep-dive`, `sdlc-best-practice`, etc.) finish at the research-note write — they do NOT chain into this skill. The user decides which research findings warrant an exec pass.
## When NOT to use
- **Auto-triggered after a `vault-writer.write_research` succeeds.** Even if the research seems exec-worthy, do not auto-invoke. Wait for the user's explicit ask.
- Source content is a digest (`vault/digests/{cadence}/...`), not research — digests are already summarized; this skill doesn't second-summarize. If you really want an exec take on a digest, copy the digest body to a `research/` note first.
- Decision memos, ADRs, RFCs — those have their own writer skills (`decision-memo-writer`, `adr-write
