# Executive Summary

## When To Use
Use for reports, meeting notes, analysis docs, or strategy updates.

## What Claude Should Optimize For
- Starts with the point
- Keeps nuance without bloat
- Makes next steps clear

## Workflow
1. Read the source material.
2. Extract decision-relevant facts.
3. Group implications by audience.
4. Write a concise summary and action list.

## Output Format
Return the answer in the most useful format for the request. Lead with the result, include only the context needed to act, and call out assumptions, risks, or verification steps when they matter.

## Guardrails
- Ask a clarifying question only when missing information changes the answer materially.
- Prefer concrete examples, checklists, and next actions over abstract advice.
- Keep the response concise unless the user asks for depth.
- Do not invent facts, sources, metrics, or code behavior.
