The most discussed thing in the group recently is WorkBuddy。It is indeed a new hot topic among domestic AI assistants, and its capabilities are also very comprehensive. However, what everyone talked about most was which skills to install to truly improve efficiency.
Today, I will share a few skills that I use the most and most easily. They basically cover my entire writing process from collecting data, organizing content to final output, and see if there is anything suitable for you.
When writing articles and making reports, the most troublesome thing is often not writing, but checking information in the early stage.agent-browser It is specifically designed to solve this problem. It can automatically open web pages, grab content, take screenshots, and even fill out forms. Although WorkBuddy comes with browsing capabilities, the actual experience is not as stable as it is. After all, it is on GitHub. 39.5K Star The project has a high degree of maturity. I often use it to keep track of industry trends. I used to have to go through the official website and media one by one, but now I just throw my needs away. It will go to dozens of pages to collect information and organize it into a readable summary. This kind of pure information transfer should not take up too much time.
After the materials are prepared, the content is turned into a deliverable finished product. Many people directly ask WorkBuddy to generate PPT, but end up with a web page, which cannot be edited or easily modified. I usually use it first guizang-ppt-skill Be responsible for layout and design, make e-magazine-style or internationalist style typography, and then hand it to pptx-generator Convert it to a truly editable PPTX file, and the two work together a lot better. In terms of document processing, the official three-piece suite of PDF, Word, and Excel has basically covered daily needs such as merging, splitting, writing reports, and making tables. I also put in extra markitdown, specially converts various formats such as PDF and web pages into clean Markdown uniformly. Whether you continue to edit or hand it over to other skills, it will be much smoother.
After the content is completed, I usually process the text again.Humanizer It can effectively reduce the traces of AI writing, adjust those overly neat sentence patterns, deliberately piled words and unnatural expressions to more conform to real people's writing habits, while trying to maintain the original facts and logic. However, I have always felt that tools can only remove the AI flavor on the surface and truly let readers recognize at a glance that you wrote it or that it is an expression style that has been formed over a long period of time. No tool can replace this. Used with it is also Prompt Engineering ExpertIt's more like a reminder word coach. When you just say "Write a tool for evaluation", it will continue to ask who the audience is, whether the style is professional or relaxed, and how long the space requires, and then organize these requirements into a complete Prompt. I have been writing Prompt myself for a long time, and I often miss some dimensions. With it to help me out, I really save a lot of peace.
If you use Agent frequently, I also recommend installing it mem0。This is the most popular list on GitHub 60K Star its biggest role is to let the Agent remember your usage habits and preferences without having to reinterpret them every time. For example, the daily newspaper format only needs to be taught once, and then the work content is sent every day, and it can be automatically generated according to a fixed template. WorkBuddy's Skill Market also has many similar memory plug-ins, which you can choose according to your needs. However, memory solves repeated labor and cannot replace judgment. In the end, you still need to decide what content in a daily newspaper is worth focusing on and which data should be highlighted.
Finally, there is another skill that I find easy to ignore, but is actually very important--Skill-vetter。Although the Skill market is open, openness also means that there are certain risks. This tool automatically checks code and permissions before installation, and the entire process is done locally and will not upload your data. Spending tens of seconds to check before installing a new Skill can often avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble later.
At the end of the day, these tools deal with repetitive physical tasks: moving information, transforming formats, polishing text, and recording habits, allowing us to spend more time on things that are truly valuable. As for whether a piece of information is worth digging deep into, whether a paragraph of opinion has its own thoughts, and whether an article has its own expression, these still need to be completed by people. The tool just prepares the puzzle, and how to put it in the end is up to you.
