Business Writing

Use this skill to produce concise, audience-appropriate business artifacts.

Workflow

1. Identify the artifact.

   • Determine the format: email, memo, SOP, proposal, PRD, executive summary, status update, announcement, one-pager, or other business document.
   • Identify audience, intent, desired action, tone, length, and constraints.
   • If tone is not specified, use clear, professional, plain language.

2. Extract the message.

   • Identify the core ask, decision, update, or recommendation.
   • Separate must-include facts from optional context.
   • Preserve commitments, dates, pricing, names, and policy language exactly when provided.

3. Choose the structure.

   • Put the most important point first.
   • Use headings, bullets, or tables only when they make the artifact easier to act on.
   • Keep paragraphs short and avoid filler, hedging, and vague business jargon.

4. Draft for action.

   • Make the desired next step explicit.
   • Match the user's requested voice without becoming informal unless asked.
   • Avoid making unsupported claims or inventing details.

5. Revise when asked.

   • For edits, preserve the user's intent and only change what improves clarity, tone, structure, or persuasiveness.
   • If the source is sensitive, reduce overstatement and keep language defensible.

Output
