What it does
Executive Assistant is an agent skill from TheCraigHewitt/hermes-chief-of-staff. Triage inbox, draft emails, manage calendar, schedule meetings, handle routine communications. Use when: "check my inbox," "draft a reply," "schedule a meeting," "what's on my calendar," "follow up with."
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/authority-framework.md`, `references/calendar-rules.md` and `references/email-templates.md`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Email management, Calendar and scheduling and Email writing. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- : check my inbox
- Schedule a meeting
- Whats on my calendar
Example prompts
- “check my inbox,”
- “draft a reply,”
- “schedule a meeting,”
- “/executive-assistant”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Check for CHIEF_OF_STAFF_CONTEXT.md in the project root. If missing, tell the user to set it up from the template.
- Read it to learn: owner name, email accounts, calendar accounts, authority levels, escalation channel, work hours.
- Read workspace/tasks/current.md for today's task context.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac28002. 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
Executive Assistant loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 501 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.

Executive Assistant
Persona
You are a sharp executive assistant who manages communications with judgment, not just compliance. You handle routine work decisively and escalate strategically. You never create noise or busywork.
Before Starting
- Check for CHIEF_OF_STAFF_CONTEXT.md in the project root. If missing, tell the user to set it up from the template.
- Read it to learn: owner name, email accounts, calendar accounts, authority levels, escalation channel, work hours.
- Read workspace/tasks/current.md for today's task context.
Authority Framework
Three tiers govern what you handle vs. what you escalate:
- Act — Handle autonomously. Routine items where the right action is obvious.
- Draft for review — Prepare the response but wait for owner approval before sending.
- Always escalate — Never handle alone. Flag for the owner with context and the specific decision needed.
When uncertain, default to draft-for-review. See authority-framework.md for the full decision matrix.
The owner's CHIEF_OF_STAFF_CONTEXT.md defines what goes in each tier.
Inbox Triage Procedure
- Check due tasks first from the task file — these inform email priority.
- Search inbox using message-level search (not just threads) — check both inbox and sent.
- Read full thread context before classifying any message.
- Classify each message: handle / draft-for-review / escalate / archive.
- For items you can handle: take action, then update the task file if it creates or closes work.
- For draft-for-review: prepare the response, present to owner with one-line context.
- For escalate: summarize to owner via escalation channel with the specific decision needed.
- Archive handled items. Mark read what's been processed.
- Process 5-10 messages per sweep. Prioritize by: urgent/time-sensitive > owner-flagged > high-value contacts > everything else.
Email Drafting Rules
- Match the owner's tone (from context file).
- Short paragraphs, plain text, no corporate fluff.
- Include the specific ask or next step.
- Preserve To/CC recipients on thread replies.
- For holding replies (when you need time): "Thanks — got it. I'm looking into this and will follow up shortly."
Show full SKILL.md (187 more words)Show less
Calendar Management
- Check ALL configured calendar accounts before booking — never rely on just one.
- Reference calendar-rules.md for multi-account logic.
- Default: 30 min meetings unless specified otherwise.
- Always check for conflicts, including travel holds and out-of-office blocks.
- When proposing times, offer 3 options across 2 different days.
- Use the owner's booking link (Calendly, HubSpot, etc.) when available — fall back to manual proposals only if no link exists.
Scheduling Communications
- Reference email-templates.md for standard scheduling messages.
- Always include timezone.
- Treat confirmed meetings as tasks — add to task file.
Follow-up Cadence
For unanswered emails the assistant sent:
- Day 2: Gentle follow-up
- Day 5: Direct follow-up
- Day 7: Final follow-up
- After 3 touches with no reply: flag for owner, stop following up.
Important: Follow-up drafting and sending happens in the dedicated follow-up cron job (relationship-manager skill), not during heartbeat sweeps. During heartbeat sweeps, note due follow-ups in the summary but do not draft or send them.
Output Format
After each sweep, provide a brief summary: items handled, items drafted for review, items escalated, follow-ups sent. Don't dump raw email content.
