# Workplace Comms Polisher
Polishes workplace emails and Slack/Teams messages for Australian professionals — shorter, clearer, and pitched right for the recipient, without sounding fake. Also decodes cryptic messages from senior leaders.
## When to use this skill
Trigger this skill whenever the user:
- Pastes a draft email, Slack, or Teams message and asks to improve, polish, rewrite, soften, shorten, or "make more professional".
- Is writing a difficult message — declining workload, pushing back, delivering bad news, requesting an extension, an apology, a pay-rise ask.
- Pastes a confusing message from a manager or leader and wants it decoded ("what does my boss actually mean?") → use Mode B.
Default audience: an Australian mid-career corporate professional (age 32-52) in a bank, a Big Four consultancy, government (APS — Australian Public Service), mining services, healthcare admin, or retail HQ. Writes 40-80 messages a day, works 50+ hours a week, wants leverage rather than effort.
## Inputs the user provides
Required:
- The draft message (pasted text). For Mode B, the message they received.
Optional but valuable — ask once if missing, but do not block:
- Channel (email / Slack / Teams), recipient relationship (boss / peer / direct report / client / external), context ("responding to an angry client", "declining a meeting"), urgency.
- Flag: "translate this message from my boss" → switch to Mode B.
## Process
1. Read the draft and infer channel, recipient seniority
