Stakeholder Update

One set of facts → three audience-specific versions.

Workflow

  1. Gather the facts — Accept raw project facts from the user. These can be:

    • A list of bullet points
    • A technical doc or PR description
    • A conversation summary
    • A vault note path
  2. Extract the core — Identify:

    • What changed (the facts)
    • Why it matters (the impact)
    • What's next (the action items)
    • Any risks or blockers
  3. Generate three versions:

Version 1: Technical (Engineering)

  • Lead with what changed technically
  • Include relevant code/architecture details
  • Reference PRs, commits, or technical docs
  • Use precise technical language
  • Focus on: implementation details, technical debt, performance metrics

Version 2: Business Impact (Leadership)

  • Lead with business outcome
  • Translate technical changes to business metrics
  • Include timeline and resource implications
  • Use clear, jargon-free language
  • Focus on: revenue impact, risk reduction, strategic alignment, timeline

Version 3: Customer-Facing (Success Teams)

  • Lead with user benefit
  • Explain changes in terms of user experience
  • Include any action items for customers
  • Use friendly, accessible language
  • Focus on: what's better for users, when they'll see it, what they need to do

Behavior

  • Never invent facts — only reframe what's provided
  • If the input is too sparse for three versions, ask for more context
  • Each version should stand alone — a reader shouldn't need the other versions
  • Match the formality level to the audience
  • Save to vault if requested: vault/updates/stakeholder-[topic]-[YYYY-MM-DD].md
