SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Setting up a personalized executive assistant requires collecting many preferences—name, timezone, working hours, integrations, communication style—and writing them into the right config files. This Skill walks you through a structured questionnaire and generates the profile and configuration automatically, so nothing is missed or misplaced. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Questionnaire: Walks through phases covering basic info, work style, productivity tools (Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, Jira, Linear), preferences, and VIP contacts. - Profile Generation: Produces a user-profile.md file with frontmatter and applies settings via plugin config (/plugin configure) plus a .config.local.json for fine-grained feature toggles. - Validation & Error Handling: Validates timezones and email formats, re-prompts on invalid input, and preserves collected data if file writes fail. - Use Case: After installing the executive-assistant plugin, run the setup interview once to enable Gmail and Calendar integrations, set your working hours to 9 AM–6 PM Pacific, and generate a personalized profile before your first /daily-prep run. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the initializer setup questionnaire to personalize your executive assistant profile and integrations.

Frequently Asked Questions about initializer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up the executive assistant plugin after installing it?▼

Run the initializer skill, which walks you through an interactive questionnaire covering your name, role, timezone, working hours, and integrations. It then generates a user-profile.md file and applies settings via /plugin configure executive-assistant@personal-plugins.

What integrations can I enable during executive assistant setup?▼

The questionnaire supports Gmail and Google Calendar via the Google Workspace MCP server, plus Slack, Jira, and Linear through their respective MCP servers. Notes integration uses plain markdown files in a folder you configure.

Where are executive assistant settings stored after setup?▼

Most settings live in plugin config, applied with /plugin configure executive-assistant@personal-plugins, so they survive reinstalls. Finer Gmail and Calendar tuning without a config key is written to .config.local.json, and free-text context goes in user-profile.md.

Can I re-run the setup questionnaire to update my profile?▼

Yes, the initializer can be re-run to update your profile and configuration. It collects fresh answers and regenerates user-profile.md and the config values, so you can change integrations, working hours, or preferences at any time.

What happens if I enter invalid input during the setup questionnaire?▼

The skill validates timezones against a known list and checks email formats for VIP contacts, re-prompting on invalid input. Name is required, and if a file write fails it reports the error and preserves your collected answers.
