SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Stakeholder communication often fails because findings are vague, design decisions are defended with taste instead of evidence, and status updates bury the ask. This Skill turns finished research, designs, and project state into presentations and written updates that survive challenge because every claim is anchored to evidence. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Research readouts (Mode A): Structure findings with a 5-part anatomy (issue, evidence, severity, location, recommendation), small-N honest language (counts, not percentages), and video clip rules for skeptical audiences. - Design-rationale presentations (Mode B): Walk stakeholders through the decision path with named anchors (user evidence, data, principle, constraint) and a dissent-handling protocol that classifies pushback before responding. - Async BLUF updates (Mode C): Write bottom-line-up-front status messages with one ask, a by-when, and a 30-second read time. - Use Case: After a 5-participant usability test, produce a readout where each finding states the observed behavior, a count like "4 of 5 participants", a Nielsen severity rating, the exact screen location, and a recommendation — then send a BLUF update asking for fix approval by Friday. ## Quick Start Use the present-and-defend-work skill to turn my usability test findings into a stakeholder readout and a BLUF status update for the team.

Frequently Asked Questions about present-and-defend-work

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I present usability findings to stakeholders?

Open with the answers to the research questions, state participant profile and limitations up front, then present findings worst-severity first. Each finding needs five parts: issue, evidence with counts, severity rating, exact location, and a recommendation.

How do I report results from a 5-user usability test?

Use counts and observed behavior, never percentages or averages — say "4 of 5 participants failed" instead of "80% of users". Small samples surface serious problems but cannot measure population rates; that requires a roughly 40-participant quantitative study.

How do I handle stakeholder pushback on a design decision?

Classify the pushback first: new evidence, preference versus preference, misread of the work, scope challenge, or small-N skepticism. Concede fast when wrong, propose the cheapest test for taste disputes, and never counter preference with your own preference.

What is a BLUF status update and how do I write one?

BLUF means bottom line up front: the state, decision, or ask goes in the first line and the subject line. Include 2-4 bullets of what changed, one specific ask with a deadline, and keep it under 150 words with details linked, not pasted.

When should I not use this presentation skill?

Do not use it to review work before presenting (run a critique first), to produce severity ratings from raw session data, to write portfolio case studies for external audiences, or to run interactive working sessions. It presents claims that already passed an evidence protocol.
