Cuando usarlo

• Use this skill when the task matches the package name, repository context, or skills.sh topic: productivity.
• Prefer it when a repeatable workflow is better than a one-off prompt: setup, review, design, deployment, automation, research, media generation, or operational checks.
• For production work, read the linked repository and install command before allowing the agent to run scripts or modify files.
