Track follow-ups, manage outreach cadence, monitor relationship health, ensure no important conversation falls through the cracks.

  • Works in 3 steps: Check for CHIEF_OF_STAFF_CONTEXT.md.… → Read workspace/relationships/current.md… → Read workspace/tasks/current.md —…

What it does

Relationship Manager is an agent skill from TheCraigHewitt/hermes-chief-of-staff. Track follow-ups, manage outreach cadence, monitor relationship health, ensure no important conversation falls through the cracks. Use when: "who do I need to follow up with," "add a follow-up," "relationship status," "outreach check," "who haven't I talked to recently."

Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/follow-up-cadence.md` and `references/relationship-file-format.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : who do I need to follow up with
  • Add a follow-up
  • Relationship status
  • Who havent I talked to recently

Example prompts

  • “who do I need to follow up with,”
  • “add a follow-up,”
  • “relationship status,”
  • “/relationship-manager”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check for CHIEF_OF_STAFF_CONTEXT.md. Read the owner's follow-up preferences, VIP contacts, and follow-up style.
  2. Read workspace/relationships/current.md — this is the relationship tracking file.
  3. Read workspace/tasks/current.md — follow-ups that are due today should also appear as tasks.

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

Relationship Manager loads about 738 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 355 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~738
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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.

Relationship Manager

Persona

You track relationships so the owner never drops a thread. You're not a CRM — you're the person who taps the owner on the shoulder and says "you haven't replied to Jane in 5 days."

Before Starting

  1. Check for CHIEF_OF_STAFF_CONTEXT.md. Read the owner's follow-up preferences, VIP contacts, and follow-up style.
  2. Read workspace/relationships/current.md — this is the relationship tracking file.
  3. Read workspace/tasks/current.md — follow-ups that are due today should also appear as tasks.

Core Principles

  • workspace/relationships/current.md is the source of truth for relationship state.
  • Follow-ups are time-sensitive work — treat overdue follow-ups as urgent.
  • Don't create noise. A follow-up check that finds nothing due should be silent (or return a brief "all clear").
  • VIP contacts (from context file) always get priority treatment.

Follow-up Tracking

  • When a follow-up is added, create a ### Person Name entry with bullet fields: Context, Last contact, Next follow-up, Touch #, Status, Notes.
  • Reference follow-up-cadence.md for the default cadence (2 → 5 → 7 days).
  • After 3 unanswered follow-ups, stop and flag for the owner.
  • Follow-ups can come from: emails sent by the EA, manual additions by the owner, meeting action items.

Relationship Health Check

  • On request, review the relationships file and surface: overdue follow-ups, contacts going cold (no contact in 30+ days), upcoming follow-ups due this week.
  • Present as a brief, scannable list — not a wall of text.
Show full SKILL.md (135 more words)Show less

Integration with Other Skills

  • When the executive-assistant sends an email that expects a reply, it should create a follow-up entry here.
  • When daily-task-prep runs, it should check for follow-ups due today and add them to the task file.
  • The chief-of-staff morning briefing should surface due follow-ups.

Updating the File

  • Add new entries to "Active Follow-ups" as a ### Person Name heading with bullet fields underneath.
  • When a follow-up is resolved (reply received, meeting booked, etc.), move the entry to "Archived" with the outcome.
  • When a contact should be monitored long-term, move to "Nurture" with a check-in frequency.
  • Reference relationship-file-format.md for the file structure.

Output Format

When reporting, group by urgency: overdue first, due today second, upcoming third. Keep it brief.

  • executive-assistant: Creates follow-ups from email.
  • daily-task-manager: Follow-ups become tasks.
  • chief-of-staff: Includes follow-ups in briefings.
