# Results Summary Brief

## Overview

Use this skill to turn normalized research materials into a standard results brief.

This brief is the central handoff document for the Medaibox research delivery workflow. It should be structured, concise, and easy to reuse for HTML delivery pages, slides, expert review packs, and final delivery bundles.

## When to Use

Use this skill when:

- `intake_clean.md` already exists and needs to be converted into a standard brief
- the user wants a clean summary before generating HTML or slides
- the user needs a one-page results explanation for review or forwarding
- the user has raw outputs but no clear narrative yet

Do not use this skill for long-form journal writing. Use `scientific-writing` for manuscript-level work.

## Expected Inputs

Preferred input:

- `intake_clean.md`

Optional supporting inputs:

- source notes
- key figures or figure notes
- intermediate result text
- known audience such as supervisor, expert, or public reader

## Expected Outputs

This skill should produce:

- `results_brief.md`

Optional supporting outputs:

- `one_page_brief.md`
- `talking_points.md`

## Workflow

1. Read `intake_clean.md`.
2. Identify the core research question or task objective.
3. Extract the essential methods context.
4. Distill the main findings into concise delivery-ready language.
5. Separate findings from interpretation where appropriate.
6. Record limitations and unresolved issues explicitly.
7. End with clear next-step recommendations and a one-sentence takeaway.

## Reuse and Dependencies

Prefer reusing:

- `scientific-writing`

Use this skill for summary architecture and delivery framing; do not over-expand into manuscript prose unless the user explicitly wants that.

## Bundled Resources

Expected bundled resources:

- `scripts/build_results_brief.py`
- `templates/results-brief-template.md`

## Quality Bar

Before finishing, confirm that:

- `results_brief.md` exists
- the brief is structured and concise
- the methods and findings are clearly separated
- the takeaway can be understood quickly by a reviewer
- the brief can be reused directly by HTML, slides, and review-pack skills
