What problem does it solve? Consequential SDLC communication—handoffs, blockers, completion reports, and requirements—often buries the outcome under preamble, making it hard for the next person to act. This Skill restructures such communication into a compact control surface that leads with the outcome, evidence, and next action. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Decision-ordered writing: Leads with the outcome, blocker, or decision needed, followed by lifecycle phase status, evidence, unresolved items, and a single named next action. - Actionable failure reports: Formats errors as cause, evidence, and remedy, separating known causes from hypotheses and never inventing certainty or dates. - Handoff contract: Provides a five-field template (Outcome, Phase, Evidence, Open, Next) for phase transitions between SDLC roles. - UWDS reference standard: Loads a full Unified Writing and Documentation Standard for formal documentation, requirements, procedures, interface content, and accessibility-sensitive material. - Use Case: After finishing a testing phase, an engineer reports: the verdict, the failing test evidence, the one acceptance-blocking issue, and the named owner of the fix—without conversational filler. ## Quick Start Use the actionable-communication skill to turn this testing phase report into a clear handoff with outcome, evidence, and next action.
