What it does
Briefing Note is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a one-page briefing note that gets a busy principal up to speed fast. Use when asked to brief a minister/executive/official, prepare a briefing note or read-ahead, or summarize an issue for a decision or meeting. Produces a tight, single-page note: purpose, background, key facts/considerations, and a recommendation or the decision sought — scannable in two minutes.
Its SKILL.md is about 790 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to brief a minister/executive/official
- Prepare a briefing note
- Summarize an issue for a decision
Example prompts
- “/briefing-note”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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.
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
Briefing Note loads about 791 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 386 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- briefing-note
- description
- Write a one-page briefing note that gets a busy principal up to speed fast. Use when asked to brief a minister/executive/official, prepare a briefing note or read-ahead, or summarize an issue for a decision or meeting. Produces a tight, single-page note: purpose, background, key facts/considerations, and a recommendation or the decision sought — scannable in two minutes.
Briefing Note Skill
A briefing note gets a principal ready for a decision, a meeting, or a question — on one page, in two minutes. It's ruthlessly concise: purpose, the few facts that matter, the considerations, and what's being asked. This skill writes that note in the standard structure officials and executives expect.
Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- Purpose — why the note exists: for decision, for information, or for a meeting/event.
- The audience — who's being briefed and what they need (and already know).
- The substance — the issue, key facts, relevant background, positions of stakeholders.
- The ask — the decision sought, or the meeting/response the note prepares them for.
Output Format
BRIEFING NOTE — [subject]
Date · Prepared for · Purpose: [for decision / for information / for meeting on DATE]
Issue — one or two lines: what this is about and why it's in front of them now.
Background — the minimum context needed, as tight bullets (dates, decisions to date, who's involved). No history for its own sake.
Key considerations — the factors that matter to the decision or discussion: facts, risks, sensitivities (financial, legal, political, reputational), stakeholder positions. Bullets, not prose.
Recommendation / decision sought — if for decision: the recommended action and one-line rationale. If for information/meeting: the key messages or the line to take, and likely questions with suggested answers.
Contact — who to follow up with.
Keep it to one page. Detail belongs in an annex, referenced not included.

Quality Checks
- The purpose (decision / information / meeting) is stated up front and shapes the note
- It fits on one page and is scannable in ~2 minutes (bullets, not paragraphs)
- Background is the minimum needed — no padding
- Key considerations surface the real risks/sensitivities, not just facts
- It ends with a clear recommendation or the specific decision/action sought
Anti-Patterns
- Do not write an essay — a briefing note is one page of scannable bullets
- Do not include history the principal doesn't need to act — annex it
- Do not bury the ask — state the decision sought or key messages plainly
- Do not omit sensitivities/risks — surprising a principal in the room is the cardinal sin
- Do not editorialize — be accurate and balanced; flag where judgment is involved
Based On
Government/executive briefing-note practice (purpose-led, one page, key considerations, decision-or-line-to-take).
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Brief a minister/executive/official."
- "Prepare a briefing note."
- "Summarize an issue for a decision."
