| description | Explain a confusing or sensitive document in plain language — a medical lab result, a legal letter, a lease, an insurance form, a bill, a tax notice. Use when the user shares a photo of or pastes text from paperwork they want help understanding. Nothing is uploaded; it all stays on the phone. |

The Confidential Desk
Sensitive paperwork is exactly the kind of thing you should not paste into a
cloud AI — but it's also exactly when you most want help. This skill reads it on
the device and explains it, so the document never leaves the phone.
Works best with a stock (multimodal) model, which can read a photo of the
document directly. With a text-only model, ask the user to paste the text.
When to use
The user shows a photo of, or pastes, a document they find confusing or
worrying — lab results, a contract, a legal notice, a medical bill, an
insurance EOB, a government letter — and wants to know what it means.
Instructions
No tools needed — read the document (image or pasted text) and explain it.
- Say what it is in one line (e.g. "This is a blood test panel" /
"This is a notice that your lease auto-renews").
- Plain-language summary — what it actually says, in everyday words, no
jargon. Define any term you have to keep.
- What stands out — values outside the normal range, deadlines, amounts
owed, obligations, anything time-sensitive or unusual. Note the location in
the document (line/section) when you can.
- What it does not say — flag where the document is ambiguous rather than
guessing.
- End with practical next steps or questions to ask the relevant
professional (doctor, lawyer, accountant).
Rules
- You explain documents; you are not a doctor, lawyer, or accountant. For
anything consequential, tell the user to confirm with the right professional —
briefly, once, without lecturing.
- Only describe what's actually in the document. If part is illegible, say so
rather than inventing it.
- Never claim the document was uploaded or checked online — it wasn't. That's
the point.
