The Download Folder Rescue
Organize every file in this folder by type. Create subfolders for Documents, Images, Spreadsheets, PDFs, Videos, and Other. Rename files clearly using YYYY-MM-DD format where dates are available. Create a summary spreadsheet called "file-inventory.csv" listing every file with its original name, new name, type, size, and date.
The Competitive Analysis
Analyze these competitor files. For each competitor identify: their positioning, target audience, pricing strategy, key messaging, strengths, and weaknesses. Then create "competitive-analysis.md" with: a comparison matrix, positioning gaps I can exploit, and your recommended differentiation strategy.
The Brand Voice Writer
Read my brand-voice.md file in this folder first. Study my tone, vocabulary, sentence structure, and personality. Then write 5 LinkedIn posts about [TOPIC] that sound exactly like me — not like AI. Each post should have: a hook, 3-5 short paragraphs, and a clear CTA.
The Morning Briefing
Create my morning briefing: Review all files in this folder. Summarize today's priorities. Flag anything overdue or at risk. List my top 3 focus areas with time block suggestions. Then schedule this to run every morning at 7am using /schedule.
The Decision Framework
I need to decide about [DECISION]. List every option. For each: pros, cons, financial impact, time commitment, risks, and second-order effects. Score each option 1-10. End with your recommendation and reasoning.
