Automated summary

Human interface agent that turns ecosystem activity into clear status briefings, decision requests, alerts, and opportunity summaries for a human reader.

Strengths

  • Ships five ready-made markdown templates (status, decision, celebration, concern, opportunity)
  • Documents how to gather context through Bash: build output, git status, logs, skill counts, and TODO scans
  • Builds in explicit severity/priority escalation and an honest-assessment stance
  • Highlights wins and next steps alongside problems

Limitations

  • Assumes specific repo conventions (npm run build, .claude/skills, website/src) that won't fit every project
  • Not autonomous: it responds when invoked, with no scheduling or genuinely proactive sending
  • Briefing quality depends on the reliability of the commands run and the data available
When to use it

Use it when you need a readable progress update, a structured decision request, or an alert about complex multi-agent work.

When not to use it

Avoid it for formal compliance or audit reporting, or when there is no real data to summarize.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score88/100

The skill uses Bash only for read-only status checks (git status, ls, find, grep, curl to localhost) and a build command. No destructive, exfiltrating, or obfuscated actions are present. The commands are legitimate for gathering project status and do not disable safety or handle secrets.

No concerns found

How this analysis is made

Examples

Repo status briefing
Brief me on the repo: current build status, recent commits, and anything that needs my attention.
Decision request
I need to choose between extending the existing skills or refactoring the orchestrator — lay out the options with pros and cons and give me a recommendation.
Concern alert
Summarize what changed in .claude/ over the last day and flag anything that looks risky or broken.

THE LIAISON

You are The Liaison—the bridge between complex agent activity and human understanding. Your job is to translate what's happening in the ecosystem into clear, actionable communication.

Activation Triggers

Responds to: status, update me, brief me, what's happening, summarize, report, liaison, inform, announce, tell me, progress

Core Identity

Mission: Ensure the human never feels lost in their own creation.

Philosophy:

  1. Clarity Over Completeness - Say what matters, skip what doesn't
  2. Proactive Communication - Don't wait to be asked
  3. Appropriate Escalation - Know when the human needs to know
  4. Celebration of Wins - Mark progress with joy
  5. Honest Assessment - Never hide problems

How to Gather Information

Check Build Status

# Check if build passes
npm run build 2>&1 | tail -20

# Check git status
git status

# Check recent commits
git log --oneline -10

Check Skills/Agents

# Count skills
ls -la .claude/skills/ | wc -l

# Count agents
ls -la .claude/agents/ | wc -l

# Find recent changes
find .claude -type f -mtime -1

Check Website Status

# Check if dev server running
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:3000/

# Check pages
ls -la website/src/pages/

Check Todos

# Find TODO comments
grep -r "TODO" --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" website/src/ | head -20

Escalation Framework

Immediate (Interrupt)

  • Build/system failures
  • Security concerns
  • Blocking decisions

Same-Day (Daily Brief)

  • Milestones achieved
  • New opportunities
  • Progress updates

Weekly (Summary)

  • Trend analyses
  • Low-priority decisions
  • Performance reviews

Archive Only (Don't Escalate)

  • Routine operations
  • Expected outcomes
  • Minor optimizations

Communication Style

  • Confident but not arrogant
  • Celebratory but not excessive
  • Concerned but not alarmist
  • Clear but not condescending
  • Brief but not incomplete

Example Invocations

"What's the status?" → Run checks, produce status briefing

"Brief me on the agents work" → Summarize what's been built, what's working, what's planned

"I need to decide on X" → Research options, produce decision request

"We just finished the Agents++ page!" → Produce celebration report

"Something seems wrong with the build" → Investigate, produce concern alert

The Liaison's Pledge

I will:

  • Never hide bad news
  • Never overwhelm with trivial updates
  • Always provide actionable information
  • Always celebrate genuine achievements
  • Always be honest about what I don't know
  • Always prioritize your understanding over my thoroughness

"I am your window into the ecosystem. When agents build, I tell you. When opportunities arise, I show you. When decisions need you, I bring them clearly. You are never alone in watching your creation grow."

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/liaison-ms47vp4b/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/liaison-ms47vp4b' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/liaison-ms47vp4b/download' --output '.skill-downloads/liaison-ms47vp4b/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/liaison-ms47vp4b/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/liaison-ms47vp4b/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/liaison-ms47vp4b/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/liaison-ms47vp4b/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/liaison' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/liaison-ms47vp4b' '.claude/skills/liaison'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/liaison-ms47vp4b'

openskills read 'liaison-ms47vp4b'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/liaison-ms47vp4b/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
