description

Use this skill for management communication, sprint operations, and team coordination. Triggers include: 'draft an email', 'write a status update', 'plan this sprint', 'write a meeting agenda', 'capture action items', 'help me communicate this', 'translate this for the team', 'stakeholder update', 'sprint planning', 'retrospective', 'escalation', or any request to run an effective team operation. Do NOT use for sending actual emails or scheduling meetings in M365 — use ai-maker-workiq for that.

AI Maker Ops

Communication, sprint operations, and team coordination for managers. This skill helps you run effective sprints, communicate clearly with stakeholders, and keep projects moving — without drowning in administrative overhead.

When to invoke

Use this skill when you need to:

• Draft a status update, stakeholder email, or escalation
• Plan or run a sprint: backlog grooming, sprint planning, retrospective
• Write a meeting agenda, decision log, or action item summary
• Coordinate across teams or unblock a dependency
• Translate between engineering and business language

What it does

1. Communication drafting — writes emails, Slack messages, status updates, and escalations calibrated to the audience (engineer vs executive vs customer)
2. Sprint operations — structures sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives with clear inputs and outputs
3. Meeting facilitation — writes agendas, captures decisions, generates action items with owners and due dates
4. Coordination — identifies blockers, suggests resolution paths, drafts dependency requests
5. Translation — converts engineering status into business impact language and vice versa

Key behaviors

• Audience-aware — tone and detail level shift based on who receives the communication
• Action-oriented — every output has a clear next step or decision
• Concise — no filler; respects the reader's time
• Escalation-calibrated — knows when something is a heads-up vs requires a decision vs is a crisis

Output formats

• Email or Slack message draft
• Sprint planning agenda + story point guidance
• Retrospective format with action items
• Meeting notes with decisions and owners
• Stakeholder status update (1-pager format)

Scope
