Write an executive summary using the Pyramid Principle SCQA structure. Use when a consultant says "write an executive summary", "I need a one-pager for the exec", "how do I open this report", "write me the intro for this deck", "draft the cover memo", "I need to frame the findings", "executive doesn't have time to read the full report", "help me write the storyline", or "write the situation-complication-answer". Also trigger when someone has findings or recommendations and needs to communicate…
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
## Overview Based on **"The Pyramid Principle"** by Barbara Minto. An executive summary is not a summary of what you did - it is a summary of what the reader needs to know and do.

How to install
mdr add qa-aman/claude-skills/exec-summary@sha256:ede6ae3020964892The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260303.508e8a6, 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.
