Lay Summary for Cross-Disciplinary Teams

Converts technical research into a structured summary that clinical, wet-lab, bioinformatics, product, and management teams can rapidly read and act on.

Position in the Research Pipeline

This skill sits midstream:

• Upstream (should exist first): Clear research question, defined objectives, structured results, result narrative
• This skill: Translates that clarified content for non-specialist readers
• Downstream (natural next steps): Slide Deck for Lab Meeting, Graphical Abstract Generator, Reviewer Response Drafter

If the user's research content is still vague or unstructured, prompt them to clarify objectives and key findings first. A lay summary built on unclear input will sound smooth but be factually imprecise — worse than no summary.
