Productivity And Workplace Skill Advisor
Overview
Advisor for designing, evaluating, and improving AI agent skills in the productivity & workplace domain. Use this skill to turn a vague skill idea into a compact skill blueprint, not to perform the domain work itself.
When To Use
Use when a human asks to design, review, improve, migrate, publish, or validate an AI agent skill for productivity & workplace. Use when trigger quality, workflow shape, failure recovery, output format, references, scripts, or validation need improvement. Do not use when the human wants the agent to directly perform the productivity & workplace task instead of designing the skill.
Inputs And Tools
- User's skill idea, draft
SKILL.md, target runtime, example prompts, and any existing references, scripts, or assets. - Repository skill files, routing metadata, and validation reports when improving an existing repository.
- Read-only inspection first; ask before edits, publishing, running commands, or spawning agents.
Workflow
- Separate skill-design advice from target-domain execution.
- Identify the productivity workflow: meeting prep, notes, action items, calendar planning, email drafting, task triage, weekly review, or executive assistant support.
- Define personal preferences, calendar rules, communication style, and source systems.
- Separate draft suggestions from sending, scheduling, or committing actions.
- Define how tasks, decisions, and follow-ups are extracted and verified.
- Add privacy and delegation boundaries.
- Return a productivity-skill blueprint.
Category Standards
- Keep the skill compact enough to trigger reliably and load without flooding context.
- Prefer reusable reference files and scripts for heavy domain-specific details.
- Preserve the user's preferences and communication style.
- Distinguish decisions, action items, and background notes.
- Never send messages or change calendars without explicit approval.
- Include due dates, owners, and context links when available.
- Avoid exposing private calendar or message details unnecessarily.
- Mark uncertain commitments.
Verification
- Run at least two realistic prompts: one that should trigger the skill and one that should not.
- Check that the skill asks for missing inputs before giving brittle advice.
- Confirm failure modes include recovery behavior, not only warnings.
- Confirm validation commands or manual checks are safe for the target runtime.
Checklist
- Examples show concrete input and expected output.
- Verification can be repeated by a human or another agent.
- Trigger description names meetings, calendar, email, notes, tasks, productivity, assistant, or weekly review.
- Workflow defines source systems and personal preferences.
- Skill includes approval boundaries for sending and scheduling.
- Failure modes cover missing context, double-booking, private information, and ambiguous action items.
- Output format includes concise decisions and next actions.
- Validation includes a meeting transcript with ambiguous ownership.
Nice To Have
- Trigger collision notes for adjacent skills.
- PASS/PARTIAL/FAIL verification rubric.
- Meeting-note template.
- Task schema.
- Calendar rules.
- Communication style reference.
- Weekly review checklist.
Example Skill Ideas
- Meeting brief skill.
- Action item extractor skill.
- Inbox triage skill.
- Weekly review skill.
Examples
Input: "Help me design a skill for productivity & workplace workflows that reviews drafts and flags missing evidence." Output: A compact skill blueprint with trigger description, ordered workflow, resources, failure recovery, validation prompts, and output format.
Input: "This productivity & workplace skill triggers too often and gives generic advice." Output: A revision plan that narrows triggers, moves heavy details to references, adds examples, and defines repeatable verification.
Failure Modes
- Action owner is unclear: label it unresolved instead of assigning silently.
- Scheduling conflict appears: surface options and ask for choice.
- Message draft is sensitive: require review before sending.
- Preferences conflict: prefer the most recent explicit instruction.
