What it does

Executive Update is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Transform detailed product updates into concise executive briefings. Use when asked to write an executive update, leadership update, product update for the exec team, or a C-suite product briefing. Produces a structured 250-word briefing with headline, key metrics, progress, risks, decisions needed, and next steps.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 write an executive update
  • Leadership update
  • Product update for the exec team
  • A C-suite product briefing

Example prompts

  • “/executive-update”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the full product update provided
  2. Identify: key metric movements, decisions required, risks to flag, wins to celebrate
  3. Write in reverse pyramid style — most important first
  4. Limit to 250 words maximum for the main body
  5. Add a "Decisions Needed" section with clear options and your recommendation
  6. Validate — Confirm every decision needed has a specific option and recommendation (not just "TBD"), and every risk has a mitigation or…

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Executive Update loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 564 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

description
Transform detailed product updates into concise executive briefings. Use when asked to write an executive update, leadership update, product update for the exec team, or a C-suite product briefing. Produces a structured 250-word briefing with headline, key metrics, progress, risks, decisions needed, and next steps.

Executive Update Skill

Produce a stakeholder update that busy executives will actually read — structured around what they care about: decisions, risks, and numbers.

Reads from / Writes to the Brain

If a professional-brain (brain/) exists, ground in it instead of re-asking for what you already know:

  • Read first: recent decisions/, knowledge/ (the headline numbers + their definitions), and context.md (voice). Run python3 ../professional-brain/scripts/brain_query.py ./brain "<period or initiative>" and carry provenance through — flag a metric that's only [verbal].
  • 📥 Propose to the Brain: the update mostly reads — but propose recording any new decision or commitment it surfaces to decisions/, provenance-tagged. Show it, get a yes, then write with ../professional-brain/scripts/brain_write.py … --commit (append-only, dry-run by default).

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Product update or notes (raw input to transform — even bullet points work)
  • Audience (CEO, board, specific exec, or general leadership)
  • Period (this week / sprint / month / quarter)
  • Key metrics (what numbers matter to this audience)

Executive Communication Principles

  • Lead with the headline, not the context
  • Every update should answer: "So what does this mean for the business?"
  • Flag decisions needed clearly — don't bury asks in paragraphs
  • Be honest about risks — executives hate surprises more than bad news

Process

  1. Read the full product update provided
  2. Identify: key metric movements, decisions required, risks to flag, wins to celebrate
  3. Write in reverse pyramid style — most important first
  4. Limit to 250 words maximum for the main body
  5. Add a "Decisions Needed" section with clear options and your recommendation
  6. Validate — Confirm every decision needed has a specific option and recommendation (not just "TBD"), and every risk has a mitigation or watch plan

Output Structure

Product Update — [Date / Sprint / Month]

Headline: [One sentence on the most important thing]

By the Numbers:

Progress This Period: [3-4 bullet points, outcome-focused not activity-focused]

Risks & Watch Items: [2-3 bullets — be direct, include mitigation]

Decisions Needed:

  1. [Decision] — Options: [A] or [B] — Recommendation: [your view] — Needed by: [date]

What's Next: [2-3 bullets on next period priorities]

Quality Checks

  • Whole update is under 250 words (if not, cut ruthlessly)
  • Every metric includes a comparison point (vs. target or last period)
  • Every risk has a mitigation or watch action
  • Every decision needed has at least two options and a recommendation
  • Written for a CFO or CEO — no jargon, all outcomes

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not lead with context or background — executives read the headline first; bury the important thing below two sentences of setup and they will miss it
  • Do not present metrics without a comparison point — a number without context (vs. target, vs. last period) cannot be interpreted and will prompt follow-up questions
  • Do not soften or spin risks — executives rely on these updates to make resource and escalation decisions; sanitised risk sections destroy the update's utility
  • Do not present a "Decisions Needed" item without a recommendation — asking an executive to decide without your view forces them to do the analytical work the PM should have done
  • Do not exceed 250 words in the main body — length signals the author has not done the compression work; every word over 250 reduces the chance the update is read

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write an executive update."
  • "Write a leadership update."
  • "Write a product update for the exec team."
  • "Brief the C-suite on the product."
