Included skills
Add these skills to your assistant as well. Then the agent follows the same instructions for every step.
Prepare an employee review
Organises your notes before a feedback or annual review: concrete examples, fair wording and questions that open up the conversation.
Handover before time off
Turns your open tasks into a handover for your cover: what's running, what's due, who to ask and what can wait.
Draft an onboarding plan
Drafts a 30-day plan with weekly goals, contacts and checkpoints for the manager to approve.

Microsoft 365 Copilot
In Copilot Cowork, add the skills as .md or .zip, or put them in OneDrive under Documents/Cowork/skills. Paste the instruction into the chat.
Automatic with a trigger
If the agent should start on its own, for example with every new email, you need a builder such as n8n, Make or Zapier Agents. The instruction goes into the system instruction there.
For developers: Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot and Cursor read skills as SKILL.md straight from the project folder.
