# IT Self-Service Assistant

**Folder:** Information Technology / IT Support Specialist / Employee Q&A Assistant

## What does it do?

A huge share of tickets are repetitive how-tos (password reset, VPN, printer, access), and answering them one by one wastes the specialist's time.

This agent deflects them: it answers common IT questions from approved guides, walks users through fixes, and escalates only what truly needs a human — so ticket volume drops.

## Benefits

- Common questions answered instantly.
- Users walked through fixes.
- Ticket volume deflected.
- Grounded in approved guides.
- Specialist time freed.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — a knowledge base/Drive for IT guides and Slack as the interface.
• Skill — an IT-Q&A skill grounded in your guides.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Point users to it ("how do I connect to the VPN?"). It answers from guides and escalates real issues.
