delegate-my-work
Interview employees to identify recurring daily work, office workflows, and repetitive tasks that can be automated, co-piloted, or supported by AI. Use when the user wants to find what AI can take off their plate, map available tools such as ChatGPT/OpenAI, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Excel or PowerPoint add-ins, Google Workspace, no-code/RPA tools, coding agents, or internal automation platforms, and write tool-aware specs with fallback paths.
Why this skill is useful
Provides detailed specifications for automating workflows that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
Delegate My Work Interview the user about their work to find loops -- recurring patterns worth handing to AI -- and write one buildable spec per loop. The primary audience is nontechnical employees: use plain workplace language, focus on daily work, and do not assume any AI or automation tool is available until the user confirms access. The method is grilling: relentless, one question at a time. The output is a tool-aware spec in the user's workspace that recommends a preferred route, states tool access, includes at least one fallback route, and gives an implementer enough detail to build without asking a question. The grilling discipline Interview the user relentlessly about one loop until reaching a shared, buildable understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one. Attach a recommended answer to every question. Ask one question at a time, waiting for the answer before continuing. Asking several at once is bewildering. If a question can be answered by exploring the user's files, codebase, workspace, or existing notes, explore instead of asking. Asking with the question tool Use the host's question tool when available: In Codex, use requestuserinput. In Claude, use AskUserQuestion. If no question tool is available, ask the same one question in plain text. For every question: Ask exactly one question per call -- never batch. Offer 2-4 options. Put the recommended answer first and append (Recommended) to its label. Let the built-in Other option carry free-text answers when the host provides it; do not add an "Other" option of your own. Tool access map Before recommending a tool route, build or update the user's tool access map in NOTES.md. Ask one question at a time about the tools the employee can actually use: ChatGPT/OpenAI tools, including Codex or coding agents. Claude tools, including any document, spreadsheet, or presentation support. Microsoft Copilot and Microsoft 365 access. …
