2# Stakeholder Update
3 
4A stakeholder update is async communication to readers who need to know the outcomes of a meeting. Primary audience is non-attendees; secondary audience is some attendees who want a reference version (came in late, stepped out, need something to forward).
5 
6Distinct from `foundation-meeting-recap` in audience, format, and purpose: the recap is a summary of what happened for people who were in the room; the stakeholder-update is a translation of outcomes into what-it-means for readers (tailored to their role, with technical-to-business translation where the audience warrants it).
7 
8Distinct from `/discover-stakeholder-summary`: that skill is about understanding stakeholders (input to the user's work). This skill is about communicating to stakeholders (output from the user's work).
