internal-comms makes your assistant write workplace communications in fixed formats. It identifies the type, then loads one of four bundled guideline files: 3P updates (Progress, Plans, Problems), company newsletters, FAQ answers, or a general file for anything else. If the type matches none of them, it asks for clarification.

The guidelines tell the assistant to gather material from Slack, Google Drive, email and Calendar when those tools are available, and to ask you for input when they are not. The description says the formats are the ones 'that my company likes to use', so expect to adjust them to yours. The folder bundles a LICENSE.txt and four example files, and no scripts.

Questions

What does the internal-comms skill do?

It writes internal communications in set formats: 3P updates, company newsletters and FAQ answers, plus a general format for other posts. It follows the guideline file for each type.

How do I install the internal-comms skill?

Use the install box at the top of this page.

What is a 3P update?

It stands for Progress, Plans, Problems. The guideline describes a short update, readable in 30 to 60 seconds, usually covering one week for a team of any size.

Does it need Slack or Google Drive connected?

No. The guidelines say to use those sources when available and otherwise to ask you for what you want to cover. Answers are better when they can read your real posts.

Will the formats match my company?

Not necessarily. The SKILL.md says it uses 'the formats that my company likes to use', and the newsletter guide assumes a company of 1000+ people. Edit the example files to fit yours.

Is the internal-comms skill safe to install?

It bundles markdown guideline files and a license file, with no scripts. It names no API key. The README says the repo's skills are for demonstration and educational purposes only, so test the output before you rely on it.
