Skill instructions

Rendered from the published SKILL.md, 35 lines.

Process Optimization

Analyze existing processes and recommend improvements.

Analysis Framework

1. Map Current State

Document every step, decision point, and handoff
Identify who does what and how long each step takes
Note manual steps, approvals, and waiting times

2. Identify Waste

Waiting: Time spent in queues or waiting for approvals
Rework: Steps that fail and need to be redone
Handoffs: Each handoff is a potential point of failure or delay
Over-processing: Steps that add no value
Manual work: Tasks that could be automated

3. Design Future State

Eliminate unnecessary steps
Automate where possible
Reduce handoffs
Parallelize independent steps
Add checkpoints (not gates)

4. Measure Impact

Time saved per cycle
Error rate reduction
Cost savings
Employee satisfaction improvement

Output

Produce a before/after process comparison with specific improvement recommendations, estimated impact, and an implementation plan.
