What problem does it solve? Work emails often bury the ask, misread the reader's emotional state, or damage relationships when delivering bad news. This Skill applies proven communication frameworks (BLUF, SCQA, MECE, Smart Brevity, Cialdini, Voss, Crucial Conversations) so every email is classified, structured, and edited for a busy reader who must act in one read. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Situation classification: Identifies whether the reader needs a practical, emotional, or social response before drafting, preventing tone-deaf emails. - Situational modules: Loads one of five framework modules based on the email's job: asking for something (Cialdini), pushing back (Voss, Fisher/Ury), raising a concern (STATE, NVC), owning an incident (Difficult Conversations), or announcing a change (Made to Stick). - Structured drafting and editing: Enforces BLUF subject lines with keyword tags, SCQA reasoning, MECE supporting points, a strict word budget, and a Bernoff/Garner edit pass that cuts filler and passive voice. - Use Case: Your head of sales wants a commitment to ship Salesforce sync by a date engineering cannot meet. The Skill drafts a reply that states the no up front, acknowledges the underlying interest, cites the rate-limit constraint, and offers two dated alternatives. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to write a reply to a colleague pushing back on a deadline, or paste an existing draft and ask it to tighten the email using the email-writer skill.
