Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

executive-writing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 1,251 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Produce an executive-ready document — strategy one-pager, board memo, or decision brief — that a VP, C-suite exec, or board member can read and act on without a guided walkthrough. The output encodes Minto Pyramid structure, role-calibrated framing, decision architecture, and zero-jargon compression into a document that a PM cannot produce at this quality unaided.

When to Use / When NOT to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Writing a strategy one-pager for executive alignment on a direction
  • Preparing a board or exec review memo to be read asynchronously before a meeting
  • Drafting a decision brief that must produce a decision in a meeting
  • Framing an investment memo, product strategy, or resource allocation request for C-suite approval
  • Translating an existing analysis (competitive war map, metric design, spec) into exec-readable format
  • Any situation where the reader is a VP+ and the document must produce action, not just comprehension

Do NOT use this skill when:

  • You need the analysis itself (use Competitive Market Analysis, Metric Design, or Problem Framing first — then run this skill to package the output)
  • The audience is your engineering team or direct reports (write a spec or PRD instead)
  • You need a presentation deck (this produces written documents, not slides — though the structure translates)
  • The "executive" is actually a working-level PM who wants detail (give them the full analysis)
  • You need a project status update (use a dashboard or status template, not a strategic document)

Anti-inputs (what this skill does NOT handle):

  • Generating the underlying analysis or evidence (this skill packages existing insight, it does not create it)
  • Slide deck design or visual presentation (document structure only)
  • Meeting facilitation or talking points (the document stands alone — if it needs a presenter, it failed)
  • Organizational communication (all-hands, change management, team announcements)

Example

Prompt: Write a strategy one-pager for my VP of Product recommending that DataVault invest $2M to build an AI-powered API platform. DataVault has $18M ARR, 340 customers, 87% gross retention. Three competitors launched APIs in 9 months. 6 of 14 lost deals cited "no API access." The VP has $3M signing authority.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
