Distill the central claim before authoring any summary-shaped output: hero copy, commit-message subject, PR title, ADR title, slide title, executive summary, skill description, abstract. Length is format-dependent (1 sentence for titles, up to a short paragraph for complex theses), tested against the Saint-Exupéry rule (remove sentences until removing another would break the claim).

Reads each plugin's CHANGELOG between the installed version and the latest available version, extracts any Breaking sections, and presents them before running the update. Consent-gated. Idempotent — reports 'everything current' when nothing to update. Works for any installed plugin; adds extra CHANGELOG-reading logic for Alex ACT constellation plugins. Delegates to plugin-management for the raw commands.

Big Idea
Distill the central claim before authoring any summary-shaped output: hero copy, commit-message subject, PR title, ADR title, slide title, executive summary, skill description, abstract. Length is format-dependent (1 sentence for titles, up to a short paragraph for complex theses), tested against the Saint-Exupéry rule (remove sentences until removing another would break the claim). Chart summaries use the specialized chart-big-idea skill in the flint-chart-plugin.
