## What it does

The skill puts your agent in the role of an executive communications writer. You describe the situation, and it produces the all-hands email — from a rough draft to something you can send. The output format is fixed: the announcement first, then a short block of recommendations and next steps.

It runs in Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and OpenCode. One `npx skills` command installs it, and the skill file lands in the platform's folder — `~/.claude/skills/company-announcement-writer/SKILL.md` for Claude. Nothing else is needed to run it.

The skill balances transparency with careful messaging, so it fits sensitive topics like shifting priorities or org changes. If you need a dry press release for an outside audience, look elsewhere: this one is built for internal notes to employees.
