# Research Brief Writer

> Use this skill whenever the user asks to write a research brief, summarize a report, turn findings into a brief, produce an executive summary of research, digest a whitepaper, or do a research writeup. Also triggers on "brief this report", "condense these findings", "what does this study actually say", "synthesize these sources", "summarize this survey", "make this digestible for leadership", or any request to convert source material — reports, papers, surveys, vendor studies, talk transcripts, multiple mixed sources — into a dense, evidence-first written brief. If source material exists and the deliverable is prose that must carry its findings faithfully, use this skill. Do not use it for interview-based case studies (use interview-case-study-writer) or for original research with no sources to digest.
