SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Helps busy developers and reviewers quickly understand the essentials of a plan, implementation, or review by extracting a one-line summary, the moving parts, key risks, and a single clear next action so stakeholders can make decisions without reading every artifact in full.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One-line summary: Produce a 10-15 word goal statement that orients the reader immediately.
  • Moving parts: List 3-5 bullets of what changed or will change (files, components, configuration, dependencies).
  • Risk-focused output: Highlight critical risks, security or performance concerns, and deployment implications.
  • Next action: Provide a single, actionable next step to advance work or unblock reviewers.
  • Use cases: Post-plan brief to kick off work, post-work recap to surface verification and blockers, and review brief to summarize findings and prioritize fixes.

Quick Start

Ask for a brief of a plan, work result, or review by supplying the artifact path, for example: Brief the plan at .claude/plans/comment-notifications/plan.md
