SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many knowledge workers repeat the same manual tasks each week and waste time re-explaining context; this Skill captures a real repeating task, decomposes it into clear steps, and turns it into a runnable, documented Cowork workflow so the work runs reliably with a single instruction.

Core Features & Use Cases

Process discovery and mapping: Guides the user to describe the trigger, inputs, steps, outputs, and pain points of a repeating task.
Workflow design and file outputs: Produces a step-by-step Cowork workflow with named inputs and output files and creates a workflows/[name]/ folder containing run-this-workflow.md and workflow-design.md.
Validation and packaging: Runs the workflow once on a real example, estimates time savings, and offers to convert the workflow into a custom Cowork skill for one-step triggering.

Quick Start

Tell Cowork: Build a reusable workflow from my repeating task, create the workflows/[name] folder with run-this-workflow.md and workflow-design.md, and run it once on a real example.

FAQPage Schema

How do I turn repeating manual tasks into automated workflows?▼

To turn repeating manual tasks into automated workflows, you decompose the task into clear steps with named inputs and outputs. The process creates a documented workflow folder containing design files and execution instructions for reliable, single-instruction runs.

What is the best way to document a recurring process for repeatable task automation?▼

Documenting a recurring process for repeatable task automation involves mapping its trigger, inputs, steps, and outputs. This creates structured workflow design files and run instructions, ensuring the process runs reliably without re-explaining context.

Can I use process mapping to create file-based handoffs for weekly reports?▼

Yes, you can use process mapping to create file-based handoffs for weekly reports. The workflow builder captures the report generation steps and converts them into a documented, repeatable workflow with named input files and output files.

How do I package a documented workflow as a custom skill for one-step triggering?▼

To package a documented workflow as a custom skill for one-step triggering, you first validate the workflow on a real example. After estimating time savings, the workflow files can be converted into a custom skill for immediate execution.
