contextgo Office Report Drafting
Use this skill when the analysis is ready and the remaining job is to turn it into a sendable office document.
Use when
- The user needs a memo, report, summary, or structured handoff.
- Analysis from spreadsheets or documents needs to become a polished written deliverable.
Do not use when
- The evidence is still unresolved.
- The user only needs a short verbal summary.
Report drafting principles
- Put the answer first.
- Keep the structure obvious.
- Tie claims to evidence.
- Make assumptions and unresolved items visible.
- Avoid bloated sections that no office reader will finish.
Common structures
Management memo
- Summary
- Situation
- Findings
- Risks
- Recommendation
Operational report
- Scope
- Inputs
- Findings
- Exceptions
- Next actions
Analysis report
- Question
- Method
- Results
- Interpretation
- Caveats
Workflow
Step 1: Choose the right report shape
Match the output to:
- audience
- decision urgency
- expected level of detail
Step 2: Write the lead section first
If the first section does not tell the reader what matters, the whole report is weaker.
Step 3: Support with evidence
Only include evidence that advances the report's purpose. Leave raw extraction noise out.
Step 4: Close with action
Do not end on a vague summary. End on recommendation, next step, or explicit escalation.
Output format
Return a polished report with:
- title
- executive summary
- body sections matched to the report type
- assumptions / caveats
- next steps
