SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of fragmented work visibility, where tasks assigned to you or requiring your attention are buried across multiple trackers and wikis, leading to missed deadlines and forgotten action items.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified Digest: Aggregates mentions, reviews, and stale tickets into a single, copy-pasteable status report.
  • Proactive Stale-Work Detection: Identifies items that have not moved in 14+ days, preventing work from falling through the cracks.
  • Context-Aware Prioritization: Separates urgent blockers (waiting on you) from routine progress, helping you focus your energy where it is needed most.

Quick Start

Run the work-intake skill to generate a comprehensive digest of all your pending tasks and mentions across the project.
