exec-summary

A document-shortening workflow that turns a long report, product requirements document, or analysis into an executive summary. An executive summary gives a senior decision-maker the key points quickly.

In plain words
What is it for?
It produces a three-bullet summary, a short readable version, and a clear statement of any decision, approval, action, or awareness required.
Why use it?
It removes background detail and focuses attention on the situation, evidence, risks, requested action, and whether a decision is needed.

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-summary 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Ask the user to paste the document or content to summarize.

Then produce:

Executive Summary

In 30 seconds:

[1–2 sentence TL;DR — the most important thing the reader needs to know]

The 3 things that matter:

  1. [Most important point — frames the situation or decision]
  2. [Key evidence or implication — what makes this significant]
  3. [What's needed — a decision, approval, action, or awareness]

Decision required: [Yes / No / FYI only] If yes: [State the specific decision and the deadline]


Full summary (for a 2-minute read):

[3–4 short paragraphs. Each one advances a single point. No preamble, no "in this document we will…". Start with the most important thing.

Lead: the situation or recommendation Supporting: why, evidence, or context Risk: what could go wrong or what's uncertain Ask: what you need from the reader]


Rules:

  • No passive voice
  • No hedging language ("it seems like", "we believe that", "potentially")
  • If the original document is vague, say so rather than fabricating precision
  • Cut everything that is background the exec already knows

Ask: "Want a version formatted for a Slack message or email?"

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.
