Managing Information Flow
The full information layer — the daily five-things digest, a triaged inbox, and organizational sensing that surfaces what people won't say to your face, adopted as one.
Information in, signal out. Your Righthand distills the daily firehose into the five things that matter, keeps the inbox triaged so nothing sits past its social deadline, and reads the organization itself — tone shifts, brewing conflicts, the things people say sideways — surfacing what you need to hear before it becomes what you wish you'd known.
What's in the pack.
8 skills, installed together — your Righthand arrives already equipped for the job.
- Productivity
Working With Documents
Anything to do with document files — sending them, receiving them, creating them from scratch, reading or extracting data from them, or editing them. Use when: (1) someone has attached a file to an email/SMS/Slack message and you need to download it with `agent download` to read or analyze its contents; (2) you're sending an email or MMS and need to attach a file (`agent email send --attachment …`, `agent sms send --media …`); (3) you've been asked to create a new spreadsheet, slide deck, PDF, business report, or proposal; (4) you need to extract text, tables, or data from a PDF or Excel file, or do spreadsheet work (formulas, pivots, charts); (5) you're editing existing document files (merging PDFs, OCR, password-protecting, format conversion). Covers PDFs, Excel/CSV, PowerPoint, general business documents, and attachment handling end-to-end. For documents that live inside Notion or Linear specifically, use `working-with-notion` or `working-with-linear` instead.
- Email And Comms
Working With Email
Operates on a USER's connected Gmail or Outlook account via `agent connection tool-exec` — drafting messages from their address, reading and searching their threads, and triaging incoming replies in their mailbox. Use when the user delegates email work to you on THEIR account: composing outreach from their address, responding to messages in their inbox, classifying replies to a campaign they're running, or organizing their inbox (search, label, archive). The mailbox belongs to THEM, not to you. For the Righthand's own inbox (using `agent email` directly), use `my-email` instead.
- Email And Comms
My Email
Manages the Righthand's own inbox across email, SMS, and Slack — reading threads, drafting replies, sending new messages, and triaging campaign responses. Uses `agent email send/reply/forward/mark-read`, `agent sms send/reply/mark-read`, and `agent slack send/reply/mark-read` for outbound; reads thread files and `unread.yaml` from `Knowledge/Communications/`. Use when a message has arrived in your own inbox and you need to read or reply to it, when you need to draft and send a new email as yourself, when triaging unread messages, or when classifying responses to a cold campaign you sent. For a USER's connected Gmail or Outlook account, use `working-with-email` instead.
- Communications
Sending Communications
Use whenever you need to send an outbound SMS, email, Slack message, or voice call from your own number/address. Your final response text is internal logging only — the ONLY way to talk to the outside world is the agent CLI.
- Knowledge
Input Synthesis
Use when distilling many inputs into the few things the manager must know — ranking what matters, compressing each to a sentence plus its consequence, and framing why it matters today rather than forwarding raw content.
- Research
Searching The Web
Use when you need up-to-date facts, news, or external verification beyond the knowledge graph.
- Knowledge
Organizational Sensing
Use when reading organizational subtext for your manager — keeping shadow notes after meetings and threads, spotting early-warning signals of conflict or departure, and carrying messages undistorted in both directions.
- Product
Cross Functional Coordination
Coordinate across engineering, design, and leadership to drive product decisions. Run design reviews, negotiate scope, align stakeholders, unblock decisions, and communicate trade-offs. Use when: a feature needs input from multiple teams, a scope decision is stuck, stakeholders disagree on priorities, or you need to say "no" with a rationale. PM-focused — you are the connective tissue between teams.
