Convert a technical spec into a PM/CTO-readable executive summary. Simplify technical details, focus on business value.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

  prompt: `Convert the following tech spec into a PM/CTO-readable executive summary.
Follow the conversion rules and execution flow defined in this skill.`
})
```

### Input

```
$ARGUMENTS
```

## Conversion Rules

| Tech Spec Section | PM/CTO Summary Treatment |
|-------------------|--------------------------|
| Trust boundary diagram | Simplify to 3-layer arch |
| Code analysis | Remove |
| Reusable modules | Remove |
| System architecture | Keep (simplified) |
| Implementation roadmap | Keep |
| Key design decisions | Remove |
| Alternative comparison | Keep |
| Risks & mitigations | Keep |
| Timeline | Keep |
| Immediate actions | Simplify to decision points |

## Execution Flow

### Step 1: Read Technical Spec

- Read the specified tech spec file
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sd0xdev/sd0x-harness/project-brief@sha256:2ccb7c5104e898c6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260404.1c6641c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
