Altitude Shifter

Q: How do I know the Altitude Shifter output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Each version passes its altitude test (act / start / forward / understand-why); All four versions are simultaneously true — no fact contradicts across altitudes; The board version contains the risk, not just the win; The customer version contains zero internal jargon, team names, or process language.

Re-pitch one piece of content for four audiences — the board, the engineers, a customer, a new hire — with a delta table showing what changed between altitudes and why. Use when asked to rewrite this for execs, explain this to the team, make this customer-facing, or say this four ways. Produces the four versions plus the delta table of what was cut, added, and reframed per altitude.

What to give it

▸The content — the memo, update, decision, or announcement to shift (paste it)

▸What actually happened — if the content is spin-adjacent, the underlying facts — the shifter needs the truth to keep versions consistent

▸Which altitudes are needed — default: all four

▸Anything confidential — that must not leak downhill (names, numbers, legal exposure)

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Each version passes its altitude test (act / start / forward / understand-why)

✓All four versions are simultaneously true — no fact contradicts across altitudes

✓The board version contains the risk, not just the win

✓The customer version contains zero internal jargon, team names, or process language

✓The delta table explains reframings, not just lists them

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not just shorten — each altitude has different load-bearing facts, not fewer of the same ones

Do not leak internal jargon downhill or customer-blame uphill

Do not soften bad news as it goes up — the board version carries the same risk the engineers see

Do not write the new-hire version as a summary — it's the version with MORE context, not less

Do not produce four versions without the delta table — the table is what makes the shift inspectable
