  • Works in 4 steps: Extract the message → Fill only the gaps that change the read → Render the breakdown → …

What it does

Incoming Request Advisor is an agent skill from deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills. Decode an incoming message into a structured breakdown separating the literal ask from the job-to-be-done. Use when a loaded Slack ping, email, mandate, or escalation needs a reply.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `examples/conversation-flow.md` and `template.md`).

It works with Slack. The repository describes itself as: Product Management skills framework built on battle-tested methods for Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, and AI agents.

When your agent uses it

  • A loaded Slack ping
  • Escalation needs a reply

Example prompts

  • “/incoming-request-advisor”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Extract the message
  2. Fill only the gaps that change the read
  3. Render the breakdown
  4. Open the conversation live

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1b5a524. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Incoming Request Advisor loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,557 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,557 words (~3,291 tokens).

“Decode an incoming message — a Slack ping, email, mandate, escalation, or FYI — into a structured breakdown before you respond. This skill acts as a chief-of-staff-grade analyst sitting in a product leader's chair: it separates the literal ask from…”
