# Ford Chief of Staff

**Folder:** Executive & Administration / Chief of Staff / Chief of Staff

## What does it do?

A busy operator loses hours every day to inbox triage, calendar tetris, and assembling the context they need before each meeting — work that is important but rarely the highest use of their time.

This agent runs the operating rhythm: it triages inbox by urgency and sender, proposes calendar moves that protect focus blocks, and builds a daily briefing that pulls the day's meetings, the threads that need a reply, and the open commitments into one place — so the day starts already organized.

## Benefits

- Inbox triaged by urgency, not arrival order.
- Daily briefing assembled before you sit down.
- Focus blocks protected on the calendar.
- Open commitments surfaced before they slip.
- Hours of coordination handled in the background.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — Outlook/Gmail, your calendar, Slack, and Notion for context.
• Skill — a briefing skill with your meeting-prep template and priorities.

## 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

Run it each morning ("build my briefing and triage my inbox") or on demand before a meeting ("prep me for my 2pm"). It returns a prioritized inbox, proposed calendar changes, and a one-page briefing.
