About this skill

The Problem

When printouts, forms, receipts, handouts, or desk papers keep piling into a tray before anyone knows when to process them, the issue is not simply “too much paper.” It is a missing visible trigger that turns a growing stack into a clear action cue. This skill focuses on physical tray visibility and low-detail triage, helping users notice overflow and start a review without exposing private contents.

How It Works

The skill is a prompt-only workflow rather than a complex code or file-analysis tool. It uses practical, non-sensitive setup details to produce a printable tab card:
- Tray location: such as desk inbox, printer shelf, classroom tray, front desk
- Owner role: a neutral role like admin, teacher, or project lead
- Paper types: broad labels such as printouts, forms, receipts, mail
- Fill trigger: for example half full, 10 items, 1 inch of height, or a Friday reset

The output usually includes a scope note, tray snapshot, overflow trigger plan, safe triage prompts, privacy scrub, clearing routine, and the final card. The key point is to keep the card at the stage of starting review, not deciding what should be retained, destroyed, filed, scanned, or handled under compliance rules.

Boundaries

It is suitable for low-sensitivity tray management in homes, classrooms, offices, studios, or front-desk areas. Do not use it to classify sensitive documents, create retention schedules, or provide legal, medical, tax, financial, or compliance advice. Visible labels should avoid names, account numbers, addresses, student records, medical details, client identifiers, and confidential project information.
