SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Professionals carry dozens of unfinished commitments, pending decisions, and recurring tasks, and often waste automation effort on work that only produces more drafts to review. This Skill inventories those open loops and separates tasks an async agent can fully close from simulated work that lands back on your desk. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Brain Dump: Guides you through a four-category inventory covering commitments to others, decisions waiting on information, patterns being tracked, and backlog or recurring tasks. - Delegation Verdicts: Classifies each item as fully delegable, partially delegable, keep, or simulated work trap using the lighter-or-heavier test. - Prioritized Action Plan: Ranks your top 5 loops by cognitive weight and delegation readiness, recommending Dispatch, Scheduled Task, or Computer Use for each. - Use Case: Before setting up any automation, run the audit to discover that your weekly competitor tracking is fully delegable as a scheduled task, while your triage report idea would only create more reading. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the open loop audit and walk you through a brain dump of your current commitments, decisions, and recurring tasks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decide which tasks to delegate to an AI agent?

Run an open loop audit that inventories your commitments, decisions, patterns, and backlog, then apply the lighter-or-heavier test. A task is delegable when the agent's output is a finished result you consume, not a draft you must edit.

What is simulated work in AI automation?

Simulated work is automation that looks productive but lands back on your desk as a document to read or a draft to edit. The audit flags these as traps so you avoid automating tasks that increase your workload instead of reducing it.

When should I use a scheduled task versus a one-off async task?

Use a scheduled task for anything that repeats on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence, such as competitor tracking or recurring reports. Use a one-off async dispatch for single commitments or research requests that close a specific loop.

Can AI agents automate tasks in legacy apps without APIs?

Yes, tasks in browser-based or internal tools without integrations are candidates for computer use automation, where the agent navigates the app interface directly. The audit flags these legacy app candidates with the specific flow to automate.

What information do I need before running an open loop audit?

Be ready to describe your role, list commitments you have made to others, decisions waiting on research, patterns you track over weeks, recurring tasks, and the daily tools you use. A sparse inventory produces a weak audit, so expect probing follow-up questions.
