What it does
Apprentice First Week is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Plan an apprentice's or new laborer's first week so they're useful by Friday and safe from hour one — day-by-day teaching order, the safety non-negotiables stated before anything else, what they're allowed to touch unsupervised, and the check-out conversation that decides week two. Use when a tradesperson says 'my apprentice starts Monday', 'how do I train the new guy', or 'the apprentice is useless and I don't have time to teach'. Produces a first-week plan, a can/can't-touch list, and the Friday review script.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- A tradesperson says my apprentice starts Monday
- How do I train the new guy
- The apprentice is useless and I dont have time to teach
Example prompts
- “s or new laborer”
- “my apprentice starts Monday”
- “how do I train the new guy”
- “/apprentice-first-week”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Monday is safety and setup, taught as identity. The brief: PPE
- One block per day, taught in three passes. Demonstrate (they watch,
- Standing jobs make the dead time useful. Between lessons: material
- The touch list is the contract. Short unsupervised list that grows
- Friday review, both directions. Three questions each way: what did
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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.
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
Apprentice First Week loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 135 tokens; SKILL.md has 673 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- Plan an apprentice's or new laborer's first week so they're useful by Friday and safe from hour one — day-by-day teaching order, the safety non-negotiables stated before anything else, what they're allowed to touch unsupervised, and the check-out conversation that decides week two. Use when a tradesperson says 'my apprentice starts Monday', 'how do I train the new guy', or 'the apprentice is useless and I don't have time to teach'. Produces a first-week plan, a can/can't-touch list, and the Friday review script.
Apprentice First Week Skill
"Watch me and you'll pick it up" is how apprentices stay useless for a year — and how thumbs get lost in week one. A first week that works is planned like a job: safety rules stated as absolutes before any tool moves, one teachable task-block per day with the why attached, an explicit list of what they may do unsupervised (short) versus with eyes on them (everything else), and a Friday conversation that tells both sides the truth. The payoff is selfish and immediate: an apprentice who can safely prep, fetch, and finish doubles a one-person business by Friday afternoon.
What This Skill Produces
- A day-by-day first week: one skill-block per day (demonstrate → assist → attempt supervised), plus the standing jobs that make them useful between lessons
- The safety brief, written to be said aloud on Monday at 7:55: the non-negotiables, what to do when unsure, and the "stop means stop" rule
- The touch list: may-do-unsupervised / may-do-watched / not-yet — updated Friday
- The Friday review script: what went well, what to fix, one goal for week two — both directions (the apprentice reviews the teaching too)
Required Inputs
Ask for (if not already provided):
- The trade, and the actual jobs booked for that week (the plan teaches from real work, not exercises)
- The apprentice: age, experience (school-leaver? career-changer?), formal scheme requirements if enrolled (college days, logbooks — flag, don't invent scheme rules)
- The user's honest pain: what they most need taken off their hands
- Site realities: one-van solo work vs a site with other trades
Framework
- Monday is safety and setup, taught as identity. The brief: PPE always · the tools they must not touch yet, by name · "if unsure, stop and ask — asking is the job" · where the first-aid kit and shutoffs are · the one-sentence rule: nothing we do today is worth a finger. Then teach the setup/protection/cleanup routine — it's the frame of every day and they can own it by Wednesday.
- One block per day, taught in three passes. Demonstrate (they watch, you narrate the why) → assist (they do the low-risk half) → attempt (they do it watched, you resist grabbing the tool back — the hardest part of teaching). Pick blocks from the week's real jobs, easiest-reversible first.
- Standing jobs make the dead time useful. Between lessons: material prep, protection, tidy-as-you-go, van stock check, watching-with- questions. An apprentice never stands empty-handed wondering; the list is on paper.
- The touch list is the contract. Short unsupervised list that grows every Friday — visible progress is the retention tool for young workers. Growth is earned by demonstrated care, not by days served.
- Friday review, both directions. Three questions each way: what did you do this week you couldn't Monday? · what did I explain badly? · one goal for next week. Ten minutes, and it's the difference between an apprentice and a decade of laborers who quit in month two.

[The non-negotiables, in speakable lines]
## The week
| Day | Skill block (demo → assist → attempt) | From which real job | Standing jobs |

## Friday review script
[Three questions each direction · week-two goal · touch-list updates]
## Scheme admin flags
[College days, logbook, ratios — verify with the scheme, not asserted here]Quality Checks
- Safety brief is speakable in under 5 minutes and contains the stop-and-ask rule verbatim
- Every skill block comes from that week's actual booked work
- The unsupervised list is genuinely short on day one and has a named growth path
- The review runs both directions — the teaching gets reviewed too
- Formal scheme requirements are flagged for verification, never invented
Anti-Patterns
- Do not plan a week of fetching — usefulness without teaching is how apprentices quit; teaching without standing jobs is how the business loses a week
- Do not soften safety rules to seem friendly on day one — absolutes on Monday, warmth all week
- Do not let "faster to do it myself" win the attempt pass — say the quiet math out loud: slower Tuesday buys a faster month
- Do not write scheme/legal requirements (hours, ratios, wages) as facts — flag and verify
