When to use this skill

To write internal communications at UH Mānoa / Shidler College of Business, use this skill for:

• 3P updates (Progress, Plans, Problems) for courses, departments, or committees
• College or department newsletters
• FAQ responses for students, faculty, or staff
• Course or program status reports
• Dean's office or department chair updates
• Project and committee updates
• Incident or issue reports

How to use this skill

To write any internal communication:

1. Identify the communication type from the request
2. Load the appropriate guideline file from the examples/ directory:
   • examples/3p-updates.md - For Progress/Plans/Problems updates (courses, committees, departments)
   • examples/company-newsletter.md - For college-wide or department newsletters
   • examples/faq-answers.md - For answering frequently asked questions from students, faculty, or staff
   • examples/general-comms.md - For anything else that doesn't explicitly match one of the above
3. Follow the specific instructions in that file for formatting, tone, and content gathering
4. Apply UH Mānoa branding — use a professional, institutional tone consistent with university communications

If the communication type doesn't match any existing guideline, ask for clarification or more context about the desired format.
