SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Recurring routines degrade silently: they repeat the same finding for days, flag everything, or go unread while still occupying a plan-limited slot. This Skill scores each routine against nine failure modes drawn from alert-fatigue research, proves what is broken by quoting the routine's own reports, and writes approved replacement prompts. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence-based audit: Scores every routine out of 18 across nine failure modes, diagnosing from report history rather than prompt text, with quoted report lines as receipts. - Approval-gated rewrites: Produces full replacement prompts with memory, escalation, and handoff clauses, requiring explicit approval of the exact text before any update call. - Slot-budget planning: Checks the subscription plan, recommends deleting dead routines before adding new ones, and wires each routine to the Cowork skill that resolves its findings. - Use Case: Your daily report has flagged the same item four days running. Run the audit to get a scored table, a diagnosis quoting the repeated lines, and a rewritten prompt with an escalation rule. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to audit my routines and fix the ones that keep repeating themselves.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit my Littlebird routines for repetition?▼

Run the audit, which lists all routines, pulls each one's config and up to 25 past reports, and scores them out of 18 against nine failure modes. Repetition is detected by building a repeat table from the report history, not by reading the prompt.

Why does my routine keep flagging the same item every day?▼

The prompt is missing memory and escalation clauses, which are invisible in the prompt text but obvious in the reports. The fix adds an instruction to read past reports and an explicit rule that changes tactics after three consecutive occurrences.

What plan do I need to use the Littlebird routine tools?▼

The Littlebird MCP routine tools require a Power or Pro plan. The skill checks subscription status before recommending anything that consumes a routine slot, and stops entirely if no Littlebird tools are available in the session.

Can this skill run as a scheduled routine itself?▼

No. The create and update routine tools are unavailable from inside a running routine, and the skill requires an interactive approval gate before every write. It runs on demand or via a monthly calendar reminder to open a session.

Does the audit change my routines without asking?▼

No. Every update replaces the entire prompt, so the skill shows the current text, the full replacement, and a change list, then requires explicit approval of the actual text before calling the update tool. Deletion is only ever a recommendation.

What happens if a routine has fewer than three reports?▼

The audit is marked liveness-only for that routine. Memory, escalation, handoff, and schedule-fit criteria are marked not assessable, and only prompt-visible criteria like scope and output ceiling are scored.
