What it does

Spark Recipe Team Workload is an agent skill from readdle/spark-cli-skills. Audit team assignment distribution: per-member loads, delegated items, unassigned work, and workload imbalances.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Email management. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Email management

Example prompts

  • “/spark-recipe-team-workload”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Get the team overview
  2. Review per-member assignments
  3. Check what you've delegated
  4. Find unassigned work
  5. Check open vs. done in shared inboxes
  6. Present the workload report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cb20383. 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 bash).

    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

Spark Recipe Team Workload loads about 712 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 308 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~712

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.

Recipe: Team Workload

Deep audit of how work is distributed across a team. Surfaces per-member assignment loads, items you've delegated, unassigned work, and imbalances.

Prerequisite: Read the use-spark base skill for command reference and filter syntax.

Access level required: read-only.

Steps

Step 1: Get the team overview
bash
spark team "Team Name"

Note the member list, shared inboxes, and the assignment summary. This gives you the high-level distribution.

Step 2: Review per-member assignments

For each team member, pull their current assignments:

bash
spark emails --filter "assigned_to:alice@co.com"
spark emails --filter "assigned_to:bob@co.com"
spark emails --filter "assigned_to:carol@co.com"

Note the count and scan subjects/dates to spot stale items (old assignments that may be stuck).

Step 3: Check what you've delegated
bash
spark emails --filter "assigned_by:me"

These are items you assigned to others. Cross-reference with per-member lists to see which are still open.

Step 4: Find unassigned work
bash
spark emails --filter "assigned_to:unassigned"

If the team uses shared inboxes, also check each one:

bash
spark emails shared@co.com:Inbox --filter "assigned_to:unassigned"
Step 5: Check open vs. done in shared inboxes
bash
spark emails --filter "is:shared_inbox_open"
spark emails --filter "is:shared_inbox_done"

The ratio of open to done gives a sense of whether the team is keeping up.

Step 6: Present the workload report

Summarize:

  • Per member: assignment count and any notably old items
  • Imbalances: flag members with significantly more or fewer assignments than average
  • Delegated by you: N items still open, any that look overdue
  • Unassigned: M items with no owner
  • Throughput: open vs. done ratio across shared inboxes

Tips

  • Run this weekly to catch imbalances before they become problems.
  • The team command's assignment summary is a quick snapshot; the per-member emails queries give the full picture.
  • Stale assignments (older than 7-14 days) are worth flagging - they may be stuck or forgotten.
  • assigned_by:me is useful for managers and leads who delegate frequently.
  • Compare this week's numbers to last week's (if you track them) to spot trends.
  • Combine with recipe-shared-inbox-status for a shared-inbox-focused view, or use this recipe for the broader team picture.
  • For large teams, focus on outliers rather than reporting every member - highlight who's overloaded and who has bandwidth.
