# 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

## Use together with

- `office-briefing`
- `docx`
