| description | Render derived artifacts from the Innovation Canvas Document. Produces the two-page executive summary, an extracted decision log, the artifact specification handoff, or a status report suitable for sharing outside the team. Use at Phase 5 exit, before a stakeholder presentation, or whenever a derived view is needed. |

Export requested: $ARGUMENTS
Read the following files in order before acting.
.claude/docs/innovation_canvas_document.md (source of record for ICD section semantics)
.claude/docs/executive_summary_template.md (the two-page exec summary template, used by the summary action)
.claude/docs/trl_specification.md (only when the export needs TRL labels)
The skill is read-only with respect to the ICD. It produces derived files in the working directory. It does not modify Sections 1 through 9 of the ICD itself.
Actions
summary
- Read the current ICD (Markdown preferred, JSON fallback).
- Render the executive summary into
executive_summary.md following executive_summary_template.md verbatim. Cut evidence, not structure. The two-page constraint is binding.
- Cite ICD section numbers in parentheses for every load-bearing claim.
- Refuse to render if the gate decision in Section 6.1 is missing or marked provisional. The exec summary is a Phase 5 exit artifact, not a draft.
- Render Kill and Pivot summaries with the same care as Go summaries. Negative results are evidence.
decision-log
- Read ICD Section 8 (Decision log).
- Produce
decision_log.md as a chronological table with all entries grouped by phase. Include a leading paragraph that states how many decisions were Strategic, Product, Technical, and Institutional.
- For Technical and Institutional entries, cross-reference Section 5.2 fields (Tech stack, Architecture overview) where applicable.
- Flag any entry where Alternatives or Implications is empty for Technical or Institutional types. The prose ICD specification requires both fields populated for these types.
artifact-spec
- Read ICD Section 5.2 (Artifact specification).
- Produce
artifact_specification.md as a self-contained handoff document for the receiving owner (engineering team, product team, institutional owner, policy sponsor).
- Include all 12 fields with their current values. Mark TBD entries explicitly. Mark Validated, Assumed, and Deferred items per the ICD's marking convention.
- If Phase 5 has run and the artifact specification is finalized, set the document's status header to Final. Otherwise Draft.
status
- Read the current ICD.
- Produce
status.md summarizing: project identity, current TRL, current phase, top 5 assumptions by priority score with their status, last 3 decision log entries, last 3 iteration log entries, and the recommended next step.
- The output is shareable: it must read coherently to a leadership stakeholder who has not seen the ICD.
Default
If the argument is empty, ask which of the four actions to run. Do not pick silently.
Output conventions
- All exports use Pandoc Markdown. UTF-8 encoding. Filenames are lowercase with underscores, no diacritics or special characters.
- Date stamps follow the global CalVer convention from
CLAUDE.md: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+hh:mm.
- Every numeric claim in the export traces back to a specific ICD field. Do not invent numbers.
- The export does not duplicate the ICD verbatim. It distills, references, and reorders.
- If the working directory is under git, stage the exported file and offer to commit. Do not commit without explicit confirmation.
