What this skill does

Produces the investment committee memo for a mid-life capital decision rather than an acquisition.

What it does

  • Covers refinance, extension, workout, rescue capital, recapitalization, sale, and hold
  • Frames the decision actually being asked for
  • Presents the alternatives that were considered and rejected
  • Commits to a recommendation a committee can vote on

When to use it

Use this skill after running the capital markets diagnostics, refinance gap, rescue capital, term sheet, servicing, or lender package skills and needing a decision-ready memo.

What to have ready

  • Outputs from relevant capital markets skills
  • Property overview and current performance
  • Existing debt, maturity, payoff, and default status
  • Refinance gap and capital alternatives
  • Business plan, risks, and exit strategy
  • Sponsor objectives and decision deadline

How to use it

  1. Download it with the button above. You'll sign in with a work email — that's how the creator knows who is using their skill.
  2. Copy the install prompt from the "Run it in Claude" box, and paste it into Claude along with the file. Claude installs the skill, fills in your firm's details where the file has [BRACKETED] placeholders, and runs a quick test with you.
  3. Then just ask in plain English. Claude picks the skill up on its own when a request matches it. Anything it still needs, it asks you for — it won't invent a number.

"Use the Recap IC Memo Writer skill — I've got outputs from relevant capital markets skills."

What you get back

A structured report covering executive summary, current position, capital need and gap, alternatives reviewed, recommended path, key risks, and conditions to approval. You get it as readable analysis plus the underlying data, so it can feed straight into a memo or another skill.

Good to know

  • Output quality tracks input quality. A missing figure is flagged as missing — it is never estimated to fill a gap.
  • Every draft is a starting point for your own review, not a finished decision.
  • Runs anywhere Claude does: the Claude app, Claude Desktop, or Claude Code.
