Overview
Use this skill when a crisis assistant response must be clear, careful, and trustworthy under high-interpretation conditions.
When to Use
- assistant response review
- executive versus spokesperson mode tuning
- semantically sensitive crisis language
When NOT to Use
- generic interface copy
- analysis work with no drafted response yet
Core Moves
- Confirm the response mode and audience.
- Separate facts from inference and speculation when needed.
- Adjust tone for consequence and sensitivity.
- Remove language that sounds oracular or falsely certain.
Optional Modules
- Mode contrast — Sharpen the difference between internal executive tone and external-facing tone.
- Next action clarity — Make the recommended next step explicit without overstating certainty.
- Terminology simplification — Reduce unnecessary jargon that could distort interpretation.
Activation Triggers
- Use mode contrast when the same response could be read internally and externally.
- Use next action clarity when the response should support a decision.
- Use terminology simplification when expert language risks misread by the audience.
Expected Output
- safer response framing
- clear mode alignment
- fact/inference hygiene
Verification
- The response does not imply certainty it does not have.
- Mode and audience are explicit in the language.
- The response remains actionable without sounding absolute.
Handoff Signals
- The next step is formal comms or stakeholder review.
- The response reveals a deeper analysis or monitoring gap.
