Execution Flow

Step 1: Read Technical Spec

• Read the specified tech spec file
• Identify the core value proposition

Step 2: Extract Key Information

• Project overview: one sentence on what, why, and value
• Current state vs target comparison
• Solution evaluation (keep pros/cons comparison)
• Milestone timeline
• Risk summary
• Resource requirements

Step 3: Simplify Technical Details

• Remove code snippets
• Remove internal module names
• Remove technical implementation details
• Keep business logic descriptions

Step 4: Produce Executive Summary

Output
