Seven skills to adapt for your office

Each is a short text file: when to use it, the steps, and the rules it can't break. Read it before you install it, then edit the steps and rules to match how your office works.

How to install a skill

  1. Claude: save the file as SKILL.md inside a folder named after the skill (for example meeting-prep-brief/SKILL.md), zip the folder, and upload it under Settings, Capabilities, Skills. Or ask Claude's skill creator to build one with you.
  2. ChatGPT: paste the steps into a project's instructions or a custom GPT, or upload the file where your plan supports skills.
  3. Check the color first. The tag on each card is the highest data tier it is meant for. Red skills belong on a purpose-built or self-hosted platform, not a general chat app.

Menu names change often; look for "Skills" or "Capabilities" in your tool's settings.

Build your own Capital Call Calendar

Everything used in the live build. All funds and figures are fictional.

Try it in four steps

  1. Open ChatGPT Codex, Claude, or another coding assistant on a business account.
  2. Paste the full prompt. Don't add real fund data.
  3. Let it build and check its own numbers against the answers in the prompt.

Before real data: review the code, secure the computer, control access. What you paste while building goes to the AI service under its terms.
