## What it does

It turns a PRD, research report, or raw notes into a single markdown file. First, the skill writes an audience-neutral master document. This master covers goals, decisions, status, risks, and timelines. Every key statement gets a numbered identifier like `M1` or `M2`.

Next, it projects the master into tailored briefings for engineering, legal, sales, or executive teams. Each briefing block uses cut-lines for copy-pasting and lists its source claims via `Draws on:`. Briefings cannot introduce statements missing from the master. This projection rule prevents cross-team discrepancies. Every block includes exactly one decision or action under `Primary ask:`.

The skill requires an existing artifact to project. It does not perform original research. Meeting summaries also belong in `foundation-stakeholder-update` instead.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill foundation-stakeholder-briefings -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/foundation-stakeholder-briefings/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/foundation-stakeholder-briefings/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill foundation-stakeholder-briefings -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/foundation-stakeholder-briefings/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill foundation-stakeholder-briefings -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/foundation-stakeholder-briefings/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install product-on-purpose/pm-skills foundation-stakeholder-briefings
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/foundation-stakeholder-briefings/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill foundation-stakeholder-briefings -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills --path skills/foundation-stakeholder-briefings
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/foundation-stakeholder-briefings/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill foundation-stakeholder-briefings -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/foundation-stakeholder-briefings/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- re-pitch a technical spec or PRD for executives, sales, and legal teams
- prevent factual drift across department-specific summaries of the same project
- assign exactly one clear call to action per stakeholder group
- trace every tailored statement back to numbered claims in a master document

## Example prompts
- Create stakeholder briefings from research-report.md for executive and engineering teams
- Generate briefings from launch-plan.md for sales, CS, and legal using --go

description: "Turns any source artifact (spec, discovery, research, GTM plan, experiment results, retro, or raw notes) into one canonical master document plus a set of audience-tailored briefings, each re-pitched to a stakeholder lens (executive, board, engineering, UX, PMM, sales, CS, legal, data, or a custom audience). Every briefing is a traceable projection of the master, so the versions never disagree. Use when one piece of work must reach several audiences who each need a different framing, decision, and level of detail."

# Stakeholder Briefings

A stakeholder-briefings artifact takes one source (a PRD, a discovery synthesis, a research report, a GTM or launch plan, experiment results, a retro or incident write-up, or raw notes) and produces a single saveable file containing:

1. a **master document**: the canonical, audience-neutral synthesis of the work (what and why, decisions, status, risks and open questions, asks, timeline), with each claim numbered (`M1`, `M2`, ...); and
2. a set of **audience briefings**: the same content re-pitched for each chosen stakeholder, one self-contained, copy-paste-ready block per audience.

The skill runs **master-first, then projects**. The master is the single source of truth; every briefing is a projection of it. A briefing may omit, reorder, and translate master content, but it may never assert a claim that is not in the master. That projection rule is what keeps the executive version and the engineering version from quietly disagreeing, and it is the difference between this skill and asking a model to "rewrite this six ways."

Distinct from `foundation-stakeholder-update` (one async update of meeting outcomes for a single audience, meeting-bound), `discover-stakeholder-summary` (a map of who stakeholders are and their influence/interest), and `foundation-persona` (a customer/buyer viewpoint to design or market against).

## When to Use

- One piece of work must reach several audiences who each need a different framing, decision, and level of detail (a spec going to engineering, design, data, and the funder at once).
- You are about to manually rewrite the same update three to five ways, one per audience.
