# Briefing Note Skill

A briefing note gets a principal ready for a decision, a meeting, or a question — on one page, in two minutes.
It's ruthlessly concise: purpose, the few facts that matter, the considerations, and what's being asked.
This skill writes that note in the standard structure officials and executives expect.

## Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

- **Purpose** — why the note exists: for decision, for information, or for a meeting/event.
- **The audience** — who's being briefed and what they need (and already know).
- **The substance** — the issue, key facts, relevant background, positions of stakeholders.
- **The ask** — the decision sought, or the meeting/response the note prepares them for.
