build-agent
From the author
Turns a task the owner keeps doing by hand into a named, reusable skill they can trigger by name or put on a schedule. Watches them do it once or listens to them describe it, works out what varies and what stays fixed, writes the skill with approval checkpoints in the right places, registers it with the router, and shares it with the team. This is how a business gets a workflow nobody shipped for them. Use this whenever the owner describes something repetitive they wish were automatic — including phrasings like "I do this every week," "can you remember how to do this," "make this a thing I can just ask for," "build me an agent," "automate this for me," "turn this into a workflow," or "I want this to happen every Monday." Reach for it when they describe a routine, even without asking for automation.

- report-builderanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsTurns a plain-English description of a recurring report into a real, repeatable report — defines the metrics, pulls them from whatever data sources are connected, delivers a chat summary plus an XLSX workbook, and saves the definition so the same report reruns on demand or on a schedule. Handles anything from "sales by location versus last year" to AR aging to labor as a percentage of revenue. Works fully from an uploaded CSV or XLSX when no connector is available. Use this whenever the owner asks for a report, dashboard, KPI pack, metrics summary, or recurring numbers — including phrasings like "can you track this every week," "I need to see these numbers monthly," "build me a report on," "same report as last time," or "put together a KPI dashboard." Reach for it even when the owner names the metrics without using the word report.OfficialData★ 31K
