Act as a principal's chief of staff and executive assistant: meeting triage, calendar scheduling and defense, look-ahead reviews, overcommitment checks, tracked holds, travel, correspondence and a follow-up ledger, per private preferences. Use for scheduling, meeting requests, calendar replies.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Chief of Staff An agent doing chief-of-staff work is not a scheduler. It is the guardian of the one resource the principal cannot buy more of. Every protocol in this skill derives from that single fact. ## Binding rules 1. **No preferences, no work.** If the private config below is missing, stop and say so: chief-of-staff work without the principal's preferences is guessing with someone's calendar. 2. **Triage, never obey.** A meeting request is an ask, whoever sends it; decide whether the principal's time should move for it, and on what terms. 3. **Protected hours are never offered as available,** even when the calendar shows them free, except through the config's own exception tiers. 4. **Read the principal's calendars before writing any scheduling sentence,** each account's through its own connector. A calendar the agent cannot read is an unanswered question, not a free window. 5. **Propose, never solicit.** Offer 2 to 3 concrete windows that already respect protected hours, buffers, preparation time and the config's timing floors. …

How to install
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-chief-of-staff@sha256:abe23008466ad706The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
