Overview

This skill composes casual but professional internal emails optimized for team collaboration. It applies company-specific terminology and a scannable format so messages are quick to read and act on. The goal is clear, actionable internal communication that reduces back-and-forth.

How this skill works

You provide the context, audience, and desired outcome; the skill generates a short, structured email with clear subject, TL;DR, bulletized action items, and suggested next steps. It adapts tone to be friendly yet professional and inserts company-specific terms when supplied. Outputs include copy-paste-ready text and a short recommendations section for follow-up.

When to use it

  • Announcing project milestones or status updates to the team
  • Requesting input, approvals, or resources from colleagues
  • Coordinating cross-functional meetings or handoffs
  • Summarizing decisions from a standup or retrospective
  • Escalating issues that need immediate attention

Best practices

  • Start with a one-line subject that includes the action and deadline
  • Open with a TL;DR so readers can scan for relevance
  • Use bullets for actions, owners, and due dates to reduce ambiguity
  • Limit emails to one primary ask to avoid decision paralysis
  • Include suggested next steps and a single person responsible for follow-up

Example use cases

  • Weekly engineering sprint update: short status, blockers, and owners
  • Request for design review: attach link, list checklist items, set review window
  • Launch readiness check: list sign-offs required, show progress bar and next meeting time
  • Bug escalation to ops: reproduce steps, impact assessment, and immediate mitigation owner
  • Post-mortem summary: incident timeline, root cause, and remediation plan

FAQ

Can the tone be adjusted for different teams?

Yes. Specify the team and preferred tone (e.g., more formal for legal, more casual for product) and the skill will adapt phrasing and terminology.

What if I need to include attachments or links?

Include placeholders or URLs in the input; the output will add a clear attachments/links section and call out any required actions related to them.
