Process Optimization

Analyze existing processes and recommend improvements.

Analysis Framework

1. Map Current State

Document every step, decision point, and handoff
Identify who does what and how long each step takes
Note manual steps, approvals, and waiting times

2. Identify Waste

Waiting: Time spent in queues or waiting for approvals
Rework: Steps that fail and need to be redone
Handoffs: Each handoff is a potential point of failure or delay
Over-processing: Steps that add no value
Manual work: Tasks that could be automated

3. Design Future State

Eliminate unnecessary steps
Automate where possible
Reduce handoffs
Parallelize independent steps
Add checkpoints (not gates)

4. Measure Impact

Time saved per cycle
Error rate reduction
Cost savings
Employee satisfaction improvement

Output

Produce a before/after process comparison with specific improvement recommendations, estimated impact, and an implementation plan.

smb-onboard

anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins

Claude as the trainer. Walks an SMB owner through connecting their first two tools, runs one recipe to prove immediate value, interviews them about their business (industry, size, top three headaches), stores that context persistently so every other skill benefits, and sets a weekly check-in cadence. Use when the owner is getting started or says any of: "set me up," "setup," "help me get set up," "get started," "help me get started," "get me started," "what can you do," "I'm new to this," or is in their first session.

business-pulse

anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins

Produces a one-page cross-functional business snapshot for SMB owners — cash position (QuickBooks), sales trend (PayPal/Square), pipeline movement (HubSpot), this week's commitments (Calendar), urgent watch-list items (Gmail/Slack), and the single most important thing needing attention today. Proactively tries every available connector and gracefully scopes to whatever is connected — one connector gives a partial pulse; the full stack gives the full picture. Trigger when the user asks how the business is doing, wants a snapshot, a weekly summary, a Monday brief, or says anything like "what am I missing" or "catch me up on the business."

canva-creator

anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins

Takes an approved content brief and executes a campaign end-to-end: builds the posting calendar, generates Canva designs for social posts, drafts caption and email copy, and stages social sends in HubSpot. Canva is used for social posts only (Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn) — email content is drafted as plain text and surfaced inline for the owner to send from their own tool. Every step requires explicit owner approval. Use when the user says "make the content," "generate the posts," "create the assets," "turn this into a campaign," or hands off an approved brief for execution.

cash-flow-snapshot

anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins

Reads AR/AP, historical cash timing, and known fixed costs from QuickBooks, PayPal, Stripe, or Square — or a CSV upload — and produces a 30/60/90-day cash flow forecast with percentage-variance confidence bands and named risk flags. Delivers a chat summary and a downloadable XLSX. Use when the user asks "forecast my cash flow," "will I make payroll," mentions "runway," or says "cash crunch." Falls back to CSV upload when no connector is live.
