Episode notes
Morning Briefing Delivers Ready Meeting Prep
- Allie gets a morning briefing emailed to her each day with industry news, weather, and meeting kickoffs so she wakes to actionable prep.
- Example: the briefing drafts meeting notes and can spin up client assets with a single keyword reply.
Use Ask User Questions To Design Workflows
- Use an 'Ask User Questions' skill to have Claude interview you and design a workflow or briefing.
- Allie shows that built-in skills can iteratively ask clarifying questions until the agent has enough to plan and act.
Build Reusable Skills For Repeatable Tasks
- Build reusable 'skills' (templated long prompts plus resources) for repeatable work like brand voice, PR, or newsletter writing.
- Skills live in folders with examples and connectors so agents can apply them across projects and platforms.
