Office Onboarding

Welcome to Office! This skill helps you set up your personal productivity style so that the assistant can help you manage email, calendar, and contacts in a way that matches YOUR preferences.

When to Use This Skill

•First time installing office-admin
•Want to update your productivity style preferences
•Need to configure how email drafts should sound
•Setting up your working hours and calendar preferences

Onboarding Process

Step 1: Introduce Yourself

Ask the user:

•What should I call you? (Their preferred name/nickname)
•What's your timezone? (Default: America/Chicago)
•What are your typical working hours? (Default: 9:30am - 4:30pm, lunch 12:00-1:30pm)

Step 2: Email Communication Style

Ask about their email preferences:

•
Email Tone - How do you typically write emails?
- •Ultra-terse (1-2 lines, no fluff, get to point)
- •Conversational (casual but complete)
- •Professional (formal, structured)
- •Warm (friendly, personal touch)
•
Email Signatures - Do you use signatures?
- •None (no signatures or sign-offs)
- •Minimal ("Best," or "Thanks,")
- •Full signature block
•
Formality Level
- •Super casual (lowercase is fine, minimal punctuation)
- •Standard (proper grammar and capitalization)
- •Formal (perfect grammar, structured sentences)
•
Response Length
- •Minimal (one-liners when possible)
- •Balanced (2-3 sentences typical)
- •Detailed (thorough explanations)
•
Specific Patterns - Any phrases or patterns you always use?
- •Examples: "Does [time] work for you?", "Let's sync on this", specific greetings

Step 3: Calendar Preferences

Ask about calendar management:

•Default meeting duration (Default: 30 minutes)
•Buffer time between meetings (Default: 15 minutes)
•Calendar link for scheduling (If they have one)
•Event naming preferences (Include location? Attendee names?)
•Auto-add events from email? (Yes/No - should calendar skill proactively add events)

Step 4: CRM Workflow

Ask about contact management:

•
What type of contacts do you manage?
- •Professional (colleagues, clients, vendors)
- •Personal (friends, family, social)
- •Mixed (both personal and professional)
•
How detailed should contact notes be?
- •Minimal (just basics)
- •Standard (basic context about relationship)
- •Detailed (thorough interaction logging)
•
Relationship tracking
- •Track how you know people (who introduced you)
- •Log all interactions automatically
- •Manual logging only

Step 5: Generate Configuration

After gathering preferences, create a configuration file at: ~/.claude/office-admin-config.json

Format:

json
