README

/six-pager

**A Claude Code skill for writing exec-audience strategic memos.** The kind a bank, a regulator, or a board actually reads. Six pages, nine sections, institutional voice, a specific ask at the end.

The voice and form are calibrated against nine public exemplars, including [the complete six-pager Todd Bishop prepared in 2017](six-pager/references/bishop-wilke-six-pager.md) for his on-stage interview with then-Amazon Consumer CEO Jeff Wilke — read and confirmed by Wilke as faithful to Amazon's internal practice. This is the closest thing to an authentic internal Amazon six-pager that exists in the public record.

Three modes:

  • DRAFT — interviews you, drafts a press release for your approval, then reverse-engineers the memo.
  • CORPUS — reads a folder of your notes, maps the content to sections, writes the memo.
  • CRITIQUE — scores an existing draft against a 10-point rubric, proposes the top 3 rewrites.
