+# Board Readiness Kit Skill
+
+## When to Use
+- Drafting quarterly board/investor updates linked to GTM + product metrics.
+- Equipping execs with consistent KPI stories, risks, and asks.
+- Coordinating cross-functional data pulls for diligence requests.
+
+## Framework
+1. **Story Spine** – headline, KPI movement, driver analysis, implication, ask.
+2. **Metric Stack** – ARR, NRR, CAC payback, pipeline coverage, product activation, roadmap velocity.
+3. **Evidence Locker** – telemetry charts, customer wins/losses, pipeline snapshots, product launch stats.
+4. **Action Register** – funding requests, hiring plans, roadmap trade-offs, go/no-go decisions.
+5. **Distribution Plan** – deck/memo templates, Q&A prep, and follow-up tracker.
+
+## Templates
+- **Board Deck Outline**: See `templates/board_deck_outline.md` for slide structure.
+- **Memo template** for async updates.
+- **Decision log sheet** capturing approvals, blockers, and owners.
+
+## Tips
+- Keep slide copy concise; push deep dives to appendix or data room.
+- Pre-wire risk sections with mitigation steps to build confidence.
+- Pair with `prepare-board-readout` for automation + data pulls.
