※ week 001 — brief

build an automation that
saves you an hour a week. pick one task you do regularly. build an automation (a skill.md) that does it with a single prompt: "do my morning briefing" → your day's tasks, emails to answer, what needs attention.


◆ what you could make

some examples to get the brain going:

  • competitor research — name an industry, get a comprehensive report
  • expense report — receipts → a categorized table shared with finance
  • inbox triage — 50 emails → 5 that matter, drafts ready
  • ux-reviewer — a screen or flow → a usability check

◆ what you'll submit

when you are done, drop your result in #shipped including:

  • a 60-second demo, or a screenshot + a few lines
  • your automation (only if you're comfortable, strip api keys first)
  • what your manual workflow looked like before
