+# Strategic Narrative Generator Skill
+
+## Purpose
+Turn a prioritised initiative list into a strategic narrative — the story that 
+explains not just what you're building but why, why now, and why this sequence. 
+The kind of narrative a board member can repeat back correctly after one hearing.
+
+## Required Inputs
+- Prioritised initiative list (with rough timelines)
+- Current OKRs or strategic priorities (1-3)
+- Competitive or market context (optional but improves output significantly)
+
+## Process
+1. Read the initiative list and identify 2-3 natural strategic themes
+2. For each theme: articulate the problem it addresses, the customer it serves, 
+   and the metric it moves
+3. Build the progression narrative: how does Q1 set up Q2? How does H1 set up H2?
+4. Write executive summary in under 100 words (the version someone can repeat)
+5. Anticipate the 3 hardest questions a sceptical board member would ask — 
+   and draft answers
+6. Identify what's NOT on the roadmap and why (this builds credibility)
+
+## Output Format
+
+### Product Strategy Narrative: [Period]
+
+**The One-Paragraph Context:**
+[Market moment + key challenge + our response — for the CFO, not the engineer]
+
+**Strategic Theme 1: [Name]**
+- The problem: [customer pain in plain language]
+- Our response: [initiatives in this theme]
+- The metric it moves: [specific and measurable]
+- Why now: [timing rationale]
+
+**Strategic Theme 2: [Name]**
+[Same structure]
+
+**The Progression Story:**
+[How each quarter sets up the next — this is the narrative arc]
+
+**Executive Summary (under 100 words — shareable):**
+[Version someone can quote at a board meeting]
+
+**Questions to Prepare For:**
+1. [Hard question] → [Prepared answer]
+2. [Hard question] → [Prepared answer]
+3. [Hard question] → [Prepared answer]
+
+**What's Not on the Roadmap (and Why):**
+[2-3 items — shows strategic discipline, not just prioritisation]
+
+## Tone Rules
+- Write for a CFO, not an engineer
+- Lead with outcomes, not features
+- Every sentence should answer "so what?"
+- Avoid jargon — if you can't say it plainly, the strategy isn't clear enough yet
