--- name: audience-tailored-communication-rewriter description: "Rewrites a single technical or complex message into audience-specific versions for up to 5 stakeholder personas — technical champion, economic buyer, end user, executive sponsor, and procurement — each recalibrated for the audience's priorities, vocabulary, decision criteria, and preferred proof. Use when the same update, proposal, or explanation must land differently across a buying committee or account org." argument-hint: "[source-message] [target-audiences]" allowed-tools: ["Read"] --- # Audience-Tailored Communication Rewriter ## Purpose Take one message written for a single audience — usually too technical or too generic — and produce distinct, ready-to-send versions calibrated for each stakeholder who needs to hear it. Solves the recurring B2B problem where a champion's language loses the CFO, or an executive summary strips out the detail the technical evaluator needs to say yes. ## When to Use Invoke this skill when the user asks to: - Rewrite a technical explanation so a C-suite economic buyer will understand and care - Translate a product or feature update for both a technical champion and a business sponsor - Adapt a renewal, expansion, or QBR message for different roles in the same account - Reframe a proposal or ROI case for a procurement or finance audience - Turn one engineering-heavy email into versions for the whole buying committee - Make a complex message land with a non-technical or skeptical stakeholder ## Inputs Required Before starting, collect: - **Source message**: The original text to rewrite (email, update, summary, or talking points) - **Target audiences**: Which stakeholder personas to produce (e.g., technical champion, economic buyer, end user, executive sponsor, procurement) - **Core outcome**: The one action or belief the user wants each audience to arrive at - **Account context**: Company, product/service, and where the account is (evaluation, expansion, renewal, at-risk) - **Format**: Email, Slack/Teams message, one-pager, or talking points - **Known objections or sensitivities**: Anything a specific stakeholder is skeptical or protective about If target audiences aren't specified, default to technical champion + economic buyer. If the core outcome is missing, infer it from the source message and state the assumption. ## Instructions ### Step 1: Extract the Invariant Core Before rewriting, isolate what must survive translation: - **The one message**: The single sentence every version must communicate - **The requested action**: What the reader should do or decide - **The load-bearing facts**: Data points, dates, or commitments that cannot be dropped or distorted across versions - Flag anything in the source that is technically true but likely to confuse or alarm a non-technical reader — these get reframed, not deleted. ### Step 2: Rewrite Per Audience Using the Persona Profiles Produce a distinct version for each requested audience. Use the matching profile below. **Technical Champion (evaluator, admin, engineer)** - Cares about: implementation effort, control, security, how it works, whether it makes them look good internally - Vocabulary: precise and technical — do not oversimplify; respect their expertise - Proof they trust: architecture detail, docs, specifics, honest limitations - Reframe: keep the depth, but connect the technical work to the outcome they'll be credited for internally **Economic Buyer / C-Suite (CFO, VP, budget owner)** - Cares about: cost, risk, ROI, time-to-value, impact on their metrics, opportunity cost - Vocabulary: business language — no feature names or jargon without immediate translation to outcome - Proof they trust: quantified impact, comparison to alternatives, peer/competitor benchmarks, risk mitigation - Reframe: lead with the business outcome and the number; put mechanism last or in a footnote. Keep it to under 150 words. **End User (day-to-day operator)** - Cares about: does this make my job easier or harder, what changes for me, what I need to learn - Vocabulary: plain and task-oriented - Proof they trust: concrete "before vs. after" of their own workflow - Reframe: translate every capability into a task they do and how it changes **Executive Sponsor (the person whose initiative this serves)** - Cares about: is my bet paying off, is this on track, what do I report upward - Vocabulary: strategic and outcome-framed - Proof they trust: progress against the stated goal, and a clean narrative they can repeat to their boss - Reframe: frame the message as evidence their decision was right and give them a sentence they can forward. **Procurement / Finance / Legal** - Cares about: terms, cost predictability, compliance, risk, comparability - Vocabulary: neutral, precise, contractual - Proof they trust: explicit numbers, terms, and defensible justification - Reframe: strip persuasion, add specificity — what, how much, under what terms. For each version: 1. Open with what that audience cares about most — not with what the source opened with 2. Include only the load-bearing facts, reframed into their language 3. End with the requested action stated in a way that's easy for that role to say yes to 4. Match the requested format and a length appropriate to the role (executives shortest) ### Step 3: Add a Routing Note After the versions, provide a 2–4 line note advising the user on sequencing — who to send which version to first, and any handoff risk (e.g., "don't let the champion forward the technical version to the CFO — send the buyer version directly"). ## Output Format - **Structure**: A short "Core Message" block, then one labeled section per audience, then a routing note - **Length**: 100–150 words per audience version; executive/procurement versions shorter; 700–1,100 words total for a 3–5 audience request - **Format**: Ready-to-send text in the requested format (email, message, one-pager, or bulleted talking points), clearly separated per audience - **Sections**: Core Message → one section per audience (labeled with the persona) → Routing Note - **Tone**: Each version adopts its audience's tone — technical and precise for the champion, outcome-and-number-led for the buyer, plain for the end user, strategic for the sponsor, neutral-precise for procurement ## Quality Checklist Before delivering output, verify: - [ ] The single core message survives intact in every version — no version contradicts another - [ ] Every load-bearing fact (numbers, dates, commitments) appears consistently across versions - [ ] The economic buyer version leads with outcome/number and stays under 150 words - [ ] No feature name or jargon appears in a non-technical version without immediate translation to outcome - [ ] Each version ends with the requested action framed for that specific role - [ ] A routing note is included advising send order and handoff risk ## Notes - The most common failure is sending the champion's version to the economic buyer — the detail that builds trust with an evaluator reads as noise to a CFO. Route deliberately. - Different framing is not spin: the facts and the ask stay constant; only the emphasis and vocabulary change. - When an account is at-risk, lead every version with reassurance and evidence of progress before introducing anything new. --- ## How to use this skill This file is a Claude Code skill in [Anthropic's standard format](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/skills) — markdown with YAML frontmatter at the top. **Installing in Claude Code:** - `~/.claude/skills//SKILL.md` — auto-loads in every session anywhere on your machine (recommended for skills you'll use across multiple projects) - `/.claude/skills//SKILL.md` — auto-loads only when working in that project (recommended for project-specific skills) Restart Claude Code or open a new session to register. **Using in Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Gemini, or other AI tools:** 1.
