20 powerful examples for Melinda Maria
Copy, tweak, make them yours. Just describe the task — Claude loads the skill automatically.
01"Show me chat vs Cowork on my real task: draft the August #marketing newsletter for our Pavé Huggies restock — do it as a plain chat reply, then as proper saved files, so my team can see why we’re switching."
02"Compare the two approaches on ‘summarize this week’s Gorgias tickets and flag the urgent ones’ — show me how chat just gives text I’d copy-paste vs. how Cowork saves a structured summary plus an action list."
03"Take my usual ‘build a competitor comparison for three jewelry brands’ request and run it both ways — prove the difference between a chat answer and a Cowork folder with a main doc, a summary, and next steps I can share in #mm-claude."
04"Demonstrate chat vs Cowork on a wholesale line-sheet recap from the Lariat launch — use the brief in this folder as context and show how Cowork actually reads my files while chat can’t."
05"Run my ‘pull this month’s Shopify sales and break it down by collection’ task both ways — show the chat version as a wall of numbers vs. the Cowork version as a saved spreadsheet I can reuse next month."
06"Compare the approaches on writing a PDP for our new Pavé Huggies — chat gives me text to paste into Shopify, but show how Cowork saves a draft, a meta-description, and an alt-text file all at once."
07"Take my ‘reconcile this week’s wholesale orders between NuORDER and ApparelMagic’ task and run it both ways — prove that Cowork can actually open both connectors and save a discrepancy report while chat just describes how I’d do it."
08"Show chat vs Cowork on building a Klaviyo campaign brief — do the quick chat answer, then the Cowork version that pulls last campaign’s results from Klaviyo and saves a brief plus subject-line options."
09"Demonstrate the difference on a CS task: ‘summarize today’s Gorgias tickets by theme’ — chat gives a one-time summary, Cowork saves a dated report and a follow-up checklist I can hand to my team."
10"Run ‘analyze our top 10 SKUs by sell-through’ both ways using Shopify and ShipHero — show how the chat reply disappears when I close the tab but the Cowork files stay in my folder."
11"Compare the two on drafting our weekly #ops Slack update — show that chat just writes the message, while Cowork reads last week’s saved update for context and keeps a running archive."
12"Take my recurring ‘build an influencer recap from ShopMy and LoudCrowd’ task and run it both ways, so my team sees why saving a structured monthly file beats a fresh chat answer each time."
13"Show chat vs Cowork on a competitor pricing scan for three jewelry brands — chat lists what it remembers, Cowork researches, saves a sourced comparison table, and suggests next steps for #marketing."
14"Demonstrate the difference on ‘draft 5 Instagram captions for our charm drop’ — chat gives them inline, Cowork saves them on-brand in a captions file alongside hashtag and Pinterest variants."
15"Run my ‘turn these meeting notes into action items’ task both ways — show how Cowork saves the action list as a file and can even feed it into Asana, while chat just prints it once."
16"Compare the approaches on a vendor-cost summary from QuickBooks — prove Cowork can save a clean monthly summary file I’ll actually reuse, vs. a chat answer I’d have to rebuild every month."
17"Show chat vs Cowork on prepping for a wholesale buyer meeting — chat answers questions, Cowork assembles a saved prep packet from NuORDER order history and ApparelMagic inventory."
18"Demonstrate the difference on ‘repurpose this blog post into social content’ — chat gives a draft, Cowork saves Instagram, Pinterest, and email versions as separate on-brand files in my folder."
19"Run ‘build me an end-of-month report’ both ways and fill in the 7-row comparison table for that exact task, so I have a one-pager to convince the rest of MM to move from chat to Cowork."
20"Compare chat vs Cowork on ‘check stock on our top huggies and flag reorders’ — show how chat can only guess while Cowork actually queries ShipHero and saves a reorder list I can act on."
