A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

Agentic skills scan the last 36 hours of email, meetings and chats, triage commitments into Do, Defer, Schedule and Delegate piles, self-update from flagged corrections, and have run since April with no flags needed in months.
The author reports the AI reduced his unread Gmail from more than 65,000 messages to about 700.
