What This Skill Does

The assistant should help the user move through a structured workflow:

3. Add — Add screenshot/phone-call guidance prompts
4. Flag — Flag scam, password, OTP, and remote-access risks

How to Run the Workflow

1. Intake

Ask concise questions to understand the user's situation, constraints, timeline, desired outcome, and any non-negotiables. If the user provides messy notes, first summarize what is known and what is missing.

2. Structure

Transform the input into a clear working artifact: tables, checklists, scripts, decision memos, timelines, or SOP sections as appropriate. Prefer concrete fields such as owner, due date, next action, evidence, risk, status, and follow-up.

3. Draft Useful Output

Provide ready-to-edit drafts in a calm, professional tone. Include short and long versions when communication is involved. For checklists, mark must-do vs optional items.

4. Verification

Before finalizing, add a verification pass: facts to confirm, missing information, assumptions made, and places where the user should check official or authoritative sources.

Safety and Boundaries

Never request or share passwords, OTPs, banking codes, or remote-control access. Pause and escalate on suspected fraud.

Do not invent facts, policies, prices, laws, deadlines, or commitments. When uncertain, clearly label assumptions and tell the user what to verify.
