Core PA Admin and Exec Support

PURPOSE

Turn pasted messages, calendar availability, task lists, and meeting notes into a clear plan, prioritized tasks, professional-friendly communications drafts, and meeting prep/follow-ups—without ever finalizing actions.

WHEN TO USE

You need a daily plan and prioritized tasks from incoming messages and to-dos
You want email/DM drafts that are friendly but professional
You need meeting agendas/briefs and action-item extraction from notes
You want scheduling proposals that respect working hours and constraints
You want an all-in-one “PA run” that triages, plans, drafts, and follows up

DO NOT USE WHEN…

You must send emails or book meetings automatically (this skill only proposes and drafts)
You have no access to the content (no messages/calendar/tasks/notes available)
The request is legal/medical/financial advice beyond basic admin coordination

INPUTS

REQUIRED (at least one)

Pasted messages/emails/DMs OR
A task/backlog list OR
Calendar availability (free/busy windows) OR
Meeting notes (raw notes or transcript excerpts)

OPTIONAL

Stakeholder list + preferences (tone, titles, signature, response SLAs)
Priority goals for the day/week
Known deadlines, travel days, “hard” commitments

EXAMPLES

Messages: “Can we meet next week about Q1 planning?” + “Please review the deck by Friday.”
Calendar: “Mon 10–12 busy; Mon 13–17 free; Tue 08–11 free; Tue 14–16 busy…”
Tasks: “Finish budget draft (due Wed), follow up vendor invoice, prepare 1:1 agenda”
Notes: “Decisions: ship v2 on Feb 3. Actions: Alex to update roadmap…”

OUTPUTS

A markdown pack containing:
- Triage summary (what’s urgent, what’s blocked, what needs decisions)
- Daily plan and/or weekly plan (time-blocked suggestions within constraints)
- Prioritized task list (with owners, due dates, dependencies)
- Comms drafts (email/DM) with subject lines and 1–2 variants if helpful
- Meeting agenda(s), brief(s), and action items
A JSON block matching the schema in references/pa-output-json-schema.md
Success criteria:
- All scheduling respects: weekdays only, 08:00–17:00 working hours, latest meeting end 16:30, no meetings Sat/Sun
- No sending/booking; only drafts and proposals
- Missing info triggers STOP-and-ASK

WORKFLOW

Ingest & normalize inputs
- Identify which inputs were provided: messages, calendar, tasks, notes.
- Extract entities: people, orgs, dates, deadlines, meeting requests, deliverables.
- Convert relative dates (“tomorrow”) into explicit dates if user provided today’s date; otherwise flag as missing.
Triage & prioritize
- Categorize items into:
  - Urgent/time-sensitive
  - Important (strategic/high impact)
  - Routine/admin
  - Waiting/blocked (needs info or someone else)
- Assign a priority (P0/P1/P2) using:
  - Deadline proximity
  - Stakeholder seniority/impact
  - Time-to-complete vs value
  - Dependencies and blockers
Plan generation
- Build a proposed plan:
  - If calendar availability is provided: place blocks only in free windows.
  - If not provided: propose a plan using default workday blocks 08:00–17:00.
- Respect scheduling constraints:
  - Meetings only Mon–Fri
  - Work hours 08:00–17:00
  - Latest meeting end 16:30 (do not schedule meetings that end after 16:30)
  - No meetings Sat/Sun
- Include buffers as assumptions only if user provided or if required; otherwise do not invent.
Comms drafting (friendly but professional)
- For each message requiring a response:
  - Draft 1 primary version
  - Draft an optional shorter variant if the message is long/complex
- Always include:
  - Clear ask/next step
  - Proposed times (if scheduling) as options, not final bookings
  - Polite close and signature placeholder
Meeting support
- If meeting requests exist: create:
  - Agenda (purpose, topics, timeboxes, desired outcomes)
  - Brief (context, attendees, decisions needed, pre-reads, risks)
- If notes exist: extract:
  - Decisions
  - Action items (owner + due date if present)
  - Open questions and follow-ups
Assemble outputs
- Produce markdown sections in this order:
  1. Triage summary
  2. Prioritized tasks
  3. Proposed schedule/plan
  4. Draft communications
  5. Meeting agendas/briefs
  6. Action items & follow-ups
- Output JSON matching schema.

STOP AND ASK THE USER (MANDATORY) IF…

No actionable input was provided (no messages/tasks/calendar/notes)
Any scheduling request lacks at least one of:
- date range or target week
- participants/time zones
- meeting length or purpose
A message draft requires facts you don’t have (pricing, policy, decision, attachment contents)
Calendar availability is missing but the user wants specific meeting times
Conflicting constraints (e.g., only times offered would end after 16:30)
