If Connectors Available
If ~~HRIS is connected:
- Pull prior review history and goal tracking data
- Pre-populate employee details and current role information
If ~~project tracker is connected:
- Pull completed work and contributions for the review period
- Reference specific tickets and project milestones as evidence
Tips
- Be specific — "Great job" isn't feedback. "You reduced deploy time 40% by implementing the new CI pipeline" is.
- Balance positive and constructive — Both are essential. Neither should be a surprise.
- Focus on behaviors, not personality — "Your documentation has been incomplete" vs. "You're careless."
- Make development actionable — "Improve communication" is vague. "Present at the next team all-hands" is actionable.

Reads a forwarded customer email or ticket, pulls order/refund status from PayPal and account history from HubSpot, drafts a tone-matched reply in the owner's writing voice, and can issue a PayPal refund with explicit owner approval. Use when the user says "draft a response," "answer this customer," "where's my order," or "I want a refund."

Prepares tax-season materials for small business owners — framed as deliverables for their accountant, not tax advice. Two modes: (1) quarterly estimated tax calculation — pulls YTD net income from QuickBooks and calculates the federal income tax + self-employment tax liability and quarterly payment due; (2) year-end 1099 prep — scans QuickBooks, PayPal, and Stripe for contractors paid over $600, builds a 1099-NEC candidate list with missing W-9 flags, and produces a plain-English summary a CPA can work from directly. Trigger this skill whenever the user mentions: quarterly taxes, estimated tax payment, how much to set aside for taxes, 1099s, 1099-NEC, year-end tax prep, contractor payments, W-9s, or any phrase suggesting they are preparing for a tax deadline or handing materials to an accountant. Also trigger proactively when a user asks about net profit or YTD income in a context that suggests they are worried about their tax bill.

The front door to the Small Business plugin. Listens to what the owner needs right now — vague or specific — and routes them to the best skill or slash command for the moment. Also serves as a guide: explains what's available, suggests what to try next, and adapts recommendations based on stored business context. Trigger whenever the owner asks "what can you do," "help me with my business," "what should I focus on," "I don't know where to start," or any open-ended business request that doesn't clearly match a single skill.
