Generate an Executive Drift Summary

Leadership needs the headline, not the raw scan: where is drift today, and which way is it moving? A good executive summary pairs a clean vg report with the DriftScore trend from Vibgrate Cloud. This tutorial assembles that summary and sets it on a cadence.

Prerequisites

• The Vibgrate CLI installed (npm i -g @vibgrate/cli)
• Pushed scans in Vibgrate Cloud

Steps

1. Ensure scans are pushed

Make sure recent scans are in the dashboard so the trend is current.

vg scan --push

2. Generate a Markdown summary

vg report --format markdown --out executive-drift.md

Markdown gives you a clean document with the DriftScore and the top drift contributors.

3. Pull the trend from the dashboard

Open dash.vibgrate.com and note the DriftScore trend — whether the line is rising or falling over the reporting period. The direction is the part leadership cares about most.

4. Assemble the executive summary

Lead with the current DriftScore and the trend (improving or worsening), then add a short list of the highest-impact upgrade items from the report. Keep it to a page.

5. Distribute and schedule

Share the summary in your leadership channel, and generate it on a regular cadence so the trend stays meaningful.

vg report --format markdown --out executive-drift.md

Verification

The summary states a single current DriftScore, a clear trend direction backed by the dashboard, and a short prioritized list. Numbers in the report should match the dashboard for the same period.
