## What it does

The skill transforms internal dev updates into clear briefs for engineering leadership. It keeps critical references like product names, JIRA tickets, and PR numbers, while cutting low-level code mechanics such as function signatures, memory struct fields, commit SHAs, and file paths. High-level technical realities like race conditions or buffer issues remain intact rather than getting dumbed down.

Output layout changes depending on the delivery medium. A JIRA update receives clear sections covering status, user impact, root causes, and next steps. Slack posts stay condensed under eighty words with bullet points, while async standup notes condense into one to three concise lines.

The prompt explicitly excludes non-technical external audiences, so marketing or customer communications require separate adjustments.
