What it does

Exec Comms is an agent skill from menkesu/awesome-pm-skills. Rewrite an exec update, memo, strategy doc, deck outline, Slack post or talk so it lands with senior people, and get a graded score plus the top 3 fixes. Use when you say 'rewrite this for my VP', 'exec update', 'how do I present to the CEO', 'my memo is too long', 'prep me for this review', 'all-hands talk' or 'I get nervous presenting'. Draws on 296 insights from 90 Lenny's Podcast guests incl. Wes Kao, Nancy Duarte and Matt Abrahams.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `references/frameworks.md` and `references/quotes.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Internal communications and Podcasting. It works with Slack. The repository describes itself as: Product management workflows grounded in Lenny's Podcast, for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.

When your agent uses it

  • You say rewrite this for my VP
  • How do I present to the CEO
  • My memo is too long
  • Prep me for this review

Example prompts

  • “rewrite this for my VP”
  • “exec update”
  • “how do I present to the CEO”
  • “/exec-comms”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Diagnose (ask before answering)
  2. Pick the play
  3. Run it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c1b6e2d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Exec Comms loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,578 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~12k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,578 words (~4,379 tokens).

“Turn a draft, a deck or a messy idea into a message a busy executive reads, understands and acts on, plus a prep plan for the live moment. Built from 296 insights from 90 Lenny's Podcast guests. Lead team: Wes…”
