Decision Memo
Organize complex source material into a clear internal document without flattening important detail or inventing a decision or action.
Entry Contract
Accept a request when the user supplies notes, a report, correspondence, analysis, a chronology, meeting material, or another source pack and wants one internal document that helps a named or inferable reader decide, approve, respond, or understand current status.
A completed report, legal analysis, financial model, or project plan may be consumed as source material. Producing that specialist analysis is outside this skill. A request to choose a strategy without source-supported options or criteria is also outside scope.
Route one compact send-ready messenger or ordinary business-email message for an existing business contact to a1-business-message; retain Decision Memo for a standalone layered, reference-ready internal decision, response, or awareness/status document whose supporting detail, including chronology as applicable, must remain inspectable, even when it is delivered by email. The communication goal alone—inform, decide, approve, or respond—does not choose the owner; artifact shape does. When the format is unnamed and both shapes remain materially plausible, use Business Message when the complete job fits one compact send-ready message, and ask one artifact-shape question only when choosing depth or structure would materially change the result.
Editing or reviewing an already selected finished memo belongs to a1-copy-editing. A public article belongs to a1-article-writing; a media announcement belongs to a1-press-release.
For a mixed request, state the boundary and stop before organizing or deciding any part.
Marketing Context is optional. Read only the first existing repository context in this order: .agents/marketing-context.md, then .claude/marketing-context.md when the canonical path is absent, then root marketing-context.md when both earlier paths are absent. Read no lower-priority context after selecting one. Continue without context when none exists.
