# Improvement Automation Designer

**Folder:** Operations / Process Improvement Manager / Workflow Automation Assistant

## What does it do?

Some waste is best eliminated by automation, but knowing what to automate (and not automating a bad process) takes judgment.

This agent designs it: after improvement, it identifies the steps worth automating, specs the automation, and ensures you're not automating waste — so improvements scale and stick.

## Benefits

- The right steps automated.
- Waste eliminated permanently.
- Automation specs ready.
- Bad processes not automated.
- Improvements scale.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — an automation platform and the relevant app MCPs.
• Skill — an automation-design skill with a process-mapping template.

## 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

Invoke it after mapping ("which steps should we automate and how?"). It returns automation recommendations and specs.

## System prompt
