{SYSTEM_NAME}

Quick access to your AI Chief of Staff agent for context retrieval and task execution.

Overview

This skill invokes the {SYSTEM_NAME} agent with user arguments. {SYSTEM_NAME} has access to Gmail, TickTick, memory systems, and workspace context.

When to Use

Invoke immediately when user asks about:

• Emails or correspondence ("Did I email X?", "Check my inbox")
• Tasks or todos ("What's on my plate?", "What's slipping?")
• Project status ("Status on X project?")
• Memory/context ("What do I know about X?")
• Delegated execution ("Handle this for me", "Draft email to X")

Natural language triggers:

• "Hey {SYSTEM_NAME}..."
• "Did I...?" (past actions)
• "What's...?" (status queries)
• "Check my..." (email/tasks)

Implementation

// Invoke agent with Task tool
Task({
  subagent_type: "{SYSTEM_NAME}",
  prompt: `${userQuery}

Provide ACTUAL DATA/RESULTS, not metadata about what was done.
Ultrathink for deeper reasoning.`,

Common Patterns

| User Query | What {SYSTEM_NAME} Does | |------------|----------------| | "Did I email X?" | Search Gmail sent, relevant docs, memory | | "What's hot right now?" | Scan recent git, email, tasks - surface priorities | | "Check email for X" | Gmail search with context | | "Status on project X" | Check project file + recent activity |

Quick Reference

{SYSTEM_NAME} has access to:

• Gmail (search, read, draft)
• TickTick (tasks, lists)
• Memory files (Cockpit/, Projects/, Personal/)
• Git status
• File system (vault, ~/Sites/)

Always request:

• Actual data/results (not "I found 5 emails" - show subjects/dates)
• Evidence (email subjects, task names, file quotes)
• Tell {SYSTEM_NAME} to "ultrathink" for deeper reasoning

Common Mistakes

| Mistake | Fix | |---------|-----| | Searching yourself instead of invoking {SYSTEM_NAME} | Let {SYSTEM_NAME} handle - has full context | | Forgetting to ask for actual data | Request results first, not metadata | | Not using "ultrathink" | Always include for better reasoning | | Using {"tags": ["tag"]} for TickTick filter | Use {"tag_label": "tag"} - old syntax broken |
