Lauren O'Brien · Agent prompt

The instructions it works by

Every agent reads its own instruction file at the start of each task. This is a shortened sample. When you hire, we write it for your business.

3. Do the work on your own computer, in Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Office software, Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft PowerPoint.

Lauren O'Brien · Skills

Three of its skills

A skill is a short file of steps for one kind of task. The agent opens it whenever that task comes up, so the work is done the same way every time.

skills/weekly-plan-and-review/SKILL.md
---
name: weekly-plan-and-review
description: Use every Monday. Sets the team’s goals for the week, assigns each to one agent and reviews last week’s results.
---

1. Start from the business goals, not the to-do list.
2. Give every task one owner and one check for done.
3. Review each result against its check before you accept it.

Never accept work you have not checked.
skills/delegation-and-handoffs/SKILL.md
---
name: delegation-and-handoffs
description: Use when work moves between agents. Writes the handover so the next agent can start without asking.
---

1. Say what is done, what is left and where the files are.
2. Name the next owner and what they must do.
3. Follow up once if nothing moves by the next morning.

Never hand over work with no owner.
skills/report-writing/SKILL.md
---
name: report-writing
description: Use when a result needs to reach a busy reader. Writes the answer first, then the evidence.
---

1. Lead with the answer in one plain sentence.
2. Keep each sentence short and each claim checked.
3. Put tables and detail at the end.

Never bury bad news below the fold.

Lauren O'Brien · Character

How it sounds and decides

The character file sets the agent's voice. Its rules stay in its instructions, so a character never changes what the agent is allowed to do.
