What professional-communication does

The skill guides professional writing in software development. It helps structure requests, project updates, and incident messages so readers can identify the main point, understand the context, and see what should happen next. It also addresses how much implementation detail to include for engineering peers, managers, and audiences outside engineering.

Email guidance covers subject lines, message structure, and specific requests. Team communication advice discusses threaded replies, selective mentions, and messages that do not demand an immediate response. The skill also covers meeting preparation and explaining technical concepts in plain language. Supporting resources include references/email-templates.md and references/jargon-simplification.md.

Its allowed tools are Read, Glob, and Grep. These can inspect files and locate relevant material, but they do not send emails or chat messages. For Claude Code, installation options include an npx command or placing SKILL.md in the user's skills directory.

What it helps with

  • Draft an email requesting a decision by a specific deadline
  • Summarize project progress, blockers, and next steps
  • Explain an implementation issue to a non-technical stakeholder
  • Write a team message that describes an error and requests help
  • Prepare a meeting agenda around pending decisions

Example prompts for the agent

  • Draft an email to my manager explaining why the release is delayed and outlining the next steps.
  • Rewrite this deployment error message so a teammate can understand the issue and what to investigate.
  • Explain the impact of a database migration to a stakeholder without an engineering background.
