bcp-plan
Comprehensive business continuity planning including emergency plans, critical alternatives, drill scripts, and recovery procedures. Covers risk assessment, continuity strategies, crisis management, and organizational resilience for operational preparedness.
About this skill
The `bcp-plan` skill is designed to assist organizations in developing a robust and detailed business continuity plan. It takes various inputs such as critical business functions, potential disruption scenarios, desired recovery objectives (RTO/RPO), current resilience capabilities, and internal/external dependencies to produce a holistic plan. The skill automates the drafting of essential BCP components, ensuring a structured and thorough approach to organizational preparedness. Key outputs include a complete BCP document, a prioritized risk assessment, specific continuity strategies for different functions, emergency response procedures, step-by-step recovery plans, drill scenarios for testing, and a crisis communication framework. This helps businesses formalize their strategies for minimizing downtime and ensuring operational resilience in the face of disruptions. Organizations can use this skill to efficiently create new BCPs, update existing ones, or assess their current state of preparedness. It's particularly valuable for IT, operations, and management teams looking to streamline the complex and time-consuming process of business continuity planning and risk management.
Best use case
The primary use case is to rapidly generate a comprehensive business continuity plan and associated documentation. Businesses, IT departments, operations managers, and risk management professionals benefit most by leveraging this skill to automate the initial drafting and structuring of critical resilience strategies, saving significant time and ensuring key planning components are addressed.

Meeting Prep
Never walk into a meeting unprepared again. Your agent researches all attendees before calendar events—pulling LinkedIn profiles, recent company news, mutual connections, and conversation starters. Generates a briefing doc with talking points, icebreakers, and context so you show up informed and confident. Triggered automatically before meetings or on-demand. Configure research depth, advance timing, and output format. Walking into meetings blind is amateur hour—missed connections, generic small talk, zero leverage. Use when setting up meeting intelligence, researching specific attendees, generating pre-meeting briefs, or automating your prep workflow.
