What problem does it solve?

This Skill tackles the chaos of scattered files and unmanaged tasks by intelligently routing them to their correct locations, ensuring nothing gets lost and all action items are accounted for.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • File Routing: Automatically sorts standalone files from your inbox into relevant project, people, or resource folders.
  • Task Extraction & Routing: Finds unchecked tasks across your notes and suggests appropriate destinations (e.g., weekly priorities, project files, person pages).
  • Strategic Alignment: Uses your current week priorities and quarterly goals to inform routing decisions, surfacing the most important items first.
  • Use Case: You receive a new document and a few scattered action items via email. Running /triage will automatically file the document into the correct project folder and add the action items to your weekly plan or relevant person's page.
