# Incident Public Statement Skill

A public statement is judged in seconds: does it acknowledge the problem, take responsibility, and tell people
what to do? This skill writes that statement — honest, human, and specific — avoiding both the legalese that
reads as evasion and the over-promising that creates the next problem. (Need the whole coordinated response,
not just the statement? Use [`pr-crisis-response`](../pr-crisis-response/SKILL.md).)

## Working from a brief

Given a one-line incident description, **produce the full statement anyway** — infer the likely impact and next
steps, label assumptions, and clearly bracket only the genuinely incident-specific facts the user must confirm
before publishing (numbers, dates, scope). Never refuse for missing detail; flag legally sensitive claims for review.
