exec-brief

A writing tool that turns raw data, analysis, research, pasted text, or files into a one-page summary for senior business leaders.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare concise executive briefs from reports, datasets, research, or earlier agent output.
Why use it?
It reduces lengthy material to the main question, three supported findings, a recommendation, and a key risk.

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

exec-brief 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Executive Brief

Transform raw data, analysis, or research output into a concise 1-page executive summary suitable for C-suite review.

Process

  1. Parse the input from $ARGUMENTS. Accept:

    • A file path to raw data or analysis
    • Inline text pasted by the user
    • A reference to output from a previous agent or skill
  2. If the input is a file path, read it. If multiple files are referenced, read all of them.

  3. Extract key findings by identifying:

    • The core question or problem being addressed
    • The 3 most significant data points or conclusions
    • Any metrics, dollar amounts, or percentages that support findings
    • Risks or caveats that decision-makers must know
  4. Structure the brief using this exact format:

Situation

2-3 sentences. What prompted this analysis and what was examined.

Key Findings

Exactly 3 findings, each as a bolded heading with 1-2 supporting sentences. Every finding must include at least one metric or specific data point sourced from the input.

Recommendation

1-2 sentences. The single clearest action to take, with expected outcome.

Risk

1-2 sentences. The primary risk of acting (or not acting), with likelihood/impact if available.

Supporting Detail

3-5 bullet points of secondary findings or context for those who want to dig deeper.

Quality Rules

  • No paragraph longer than 3 sentences
  • Every claim must be traceable to the input data — no fabrication
  • Target length: 300-400 words
  • Use specific numbers, not vague qualifiers ("revenue increased 23%" not "revenue increased significantly")
  • Use ISO 8601 dates where dates appear
  • Label any inference or assumption explicitly

Output Format

Present the brief in clean markdown, ready to share. Follow the brief with a single metadata line:

Source: [input file name or "inline data"] | Word count: [N] | Date: [YYYY-MM-DD]

Changes

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.
