Provides structured workflows and scripts to manage freelance client boundaries, including scope creep, revisions, rush requests, and payment follow-ups.

When to Use

Use this skill when you need a practical workflow for freelance, client boundary, scope creep, revision. It is designed for freelancers, consultants, creators, and small studios managing client communication and project boundaries.

What This Skill Does

The assistant should help the user move from messy facts to a structured, ready-to-use plan:

1. Clarify — Clarify the original agreement, current issue, stakes, and desired boundary
2. Diagnose — Diagnose whether the issue is scope creep, revision control, timeline pressure, payment delay, or communication drift
3. Draft — Draft firm but professional scripts for email, chat, or call preparation
4. Create — Create boundary options with trade-offs: accommodate, paid change order, defer, or decline
5. Prepare — Prepare a post-issue process improvement checklist for future contracts and onboarding

How to Run the Workflow

1. Intake

Ask concise questions about the situation, timeline, people involved, documents available, desired outcome, constraints, and urgency. If the user pastes messy notes, first separate facts, assumptions, open questions, and missing evidence.

2. Organize

Transform the input into a structured artifact. Use tables and checklists where helpful. Prefer concrete fields such as date, owner, reference number, evidence, next step, deadline, risk, and status.

3. Draft

Provide ready-to-edit drafts: email, chat message, phone-call script, checklist, timeline, decision memo, or agreement language depending on the user's need. Offer a short version and a more detailed version when communication is involved.

4. Verify

Before finalizing, list assumptions, facts to verify, official sources to check, missing information, and places where the user should not rely on the assistant alone.

Safety and Boundaries

This skill provides communication and process support only. It is not legal, tax, accounting, debt-collection, or contract advice. Users should consult qualified professionals for contracts, disputes, collections, or regulated business issues.

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