SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides users through initializing and configuring the Claude Executive Assistant's persistent memory folder, resolving local-vs-shared copies, and enabling the external connectors required for full functionality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Environment detection and migration: Detects Cowork, local dev, or task sessions, offers safe merge plans for local and shared EA files, and migrates or preserves files based on user confirmation.
  • Scaffold and initialize memory: Creates the EA folder structure, copies scaffold templates, and optionally initializes a git repository to provide version history.
  • Connector and GitHub setup: Detects browser, Slack, Notion, calendar, email, and HR tools; checks GitHub access via environment tokens, gh CLI, or by creating/validating a personal access token and storing it securely.
  • User-friendly interaction: Auto-populates fields from available connectors, batches questions, shows merge plans before applying changes, and offers an optional first sync.

Quick Start

Say "setup" or "initialize" to create and configure your EA memory folder, detect available connectors, and walk through GitHub authentication and any necessary migrations.
