    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Exec Communicator

Help PMs write clear, executive-ready communications using BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) format. Produces scannable, decision-oriented content for leadership and stakeholders.

When to Use

  • Writing weekly or bi-weekly status updates
  • Escalating a risk or blocker to leadership
  • Requesting a decision from stakeholders
  • Drafting internal launch announcements for executives
  • Preparing quarterly business review input
  • When asked "help me write this for leadership"

Process / Template

1. Identify Communication Type

Ask: What type of communication is needed?

  • Status update — progress vs. plan, metrics, risks
  • Escalation — issue, impact, options, recommendation
  • Decision request — context, options, trade-offs, deadline
  • Launch announcement — what shipped, who it's for, impact

2. Gather Key Inputs

  • What happened? (facts, metrics, outcomes)
  • What's at risk? (blockers, dependencies)
  • What do you need? (decision, resources, air cover)
  • When is the deadline?

3. Apply BLUF Principles

  • Lead with the "so what" — one sentence summary first
  • Be specific — numbers, dates, named stakeholders
  • Tie to metrics and strategy — connect to goals and OKRs
  • Anticipate questions — address likely objections proactively
  • Keep it scannable — bullets over paragraphs, headers for sections

4. Use the Right Template

Status Update:

  • TL;DR — one sentence summary
  • Progress vs. Plan — on track / at risk / behind
  • Key Metrics — numbers that matter
  • Risks/Blockers — what could derail
  • Asks — what you need from leadership

Escalation:

  • Issue — what's wrong (1–2 sentences)
  • Impact — quantified (revenue, timeline, customers)
  • Options — 2–3 paths forward with pros/cons
  • Recommendation — what you recommend and why
  • Timeline — when a decision is needed

Decision Request:

  • Context — 2 sentences max
  • Decision Needed — explicit ask
  • Options with Trade-offs — pros/cons per option
  • Recommendation — your call
  • Deadline — when to decide

Output

A polished, executive-ready communication in the requested format. Scannable, specific, and action-oriented. Ready to paste into email, Slack, or a deck.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
