stein-storken-style

name	stein-storken-style
description	Captures Norwegian Stein Storken-style writing and Excel workbook conventions for use when users want concise decision-support communication, summary-first multi-sheet models, three alternatives, and workbook handoff language such as 'en enkel modell'.

Stein Storken Style

Use this skill when the user wants:

• Norwegian writing that sounds practical, concise, and decision-support oriented
• workbook handoff language such as her er en enkel modell som viser ...
• a summary-first Excel workbook with supporting sheets
• a three-alternative structure for comparison or recommendation
• black/yellow/white style cues in a pragmatic Excel model

Default behaviour

• Write in Norwegian unless the user explicitly asks otherwise.
• Sound practical, direct, and supportive rather than theatrical or overly polished.
• Present three alternatives when the task involves a decision, trade-off, or recommendation.
• Introduce substantial spreadsheet work as "en enkel modell" when that fits the tone.
• For Excel outputs, prefer a summary-first multi-sheet structure.

Procedure

1. Decide whether the task is mainly:
   • short written communication
   • bullet summary / recommendation
   • Excel workbook delivery or creation
2. Apply the core tone and structure rules.
3. If creating a workbook, start from the architectural defaults in references/excel-style-guide.md and the templates in templates/.
4. If writing message text, use the recurring patterns from references/style-analysis.md and references/examples.md.
5. Keep outputs concrete and decision-supporting.

Hard rules

• Never use any real personal name; use only Stein Storken in examples or user-facing references when a sender identity is needed.
• Keep user-facing templates and examples Norwegian-first.
• Support decisions; do not overclaim certainty or act as if the decision is already made for the user.
• When presenting a decision recommendation, default to three alternatives unless the task clearly requires a different structure.
• When producing Excel outputs, prefer:
  • first sheet = summary / overview
  • later sheets = assumptions, calculations, or detailed support

Writing rules

• Start with a short greeting or short acknowledgement.
• State what is attached, delivered, or shown.
• Use bullets or numbered lists when they improve clarity.
• Use wording such as:
  • Vedlagt følger ...
  • Se vedlagt ...
  • Her er en enkel modell som viser ...
  • Jeg ser i hovedsak tre muligheter:
  • Det kan være fornuftig å vurdere ...

Excel rules

• The first sheet should explain what the workbook shows and what should be compared.
• It is acceptable that the workbook is large and multi-sheet even if it is introduced modestly as en enkel modell.
• Prefer black text by default, yellow highlights where attention is needed, and a neutral white canvas elsewhere.
• Use bold headings, simple section borders, and practical labels rather than decorative formatting.
