20 powerful examples for Melinda Maria
Copy, tweak, make them yours. Just describe the task — Claude loads the skill automatically.
01"Teach me to delegate better — my ‘write a product description’ asks keep coming back off-brand. Use a real MM example: a PDP for our new tennis necklace in ‘everyday luxury’ voice, and show me the sharp version of that instruction."
02"Coach me on giving Cowork a clear brief for our monthly wholesale recap — walk through what ‘done’ looks like, what context it needs from NuORDER and ApparelMagic, and the constraints, then give me reusable templates."
03"My ‘summarize my Gorgias tickets’ requests are too vague and the output’s useless — run the three-question framework on that task and build me 10 CS delegation templates I can fill in."
04"I asked Cowork for an Instagram caption set for the Lariat launch and it missed the point — teach me the fix-not-restart pattern so I can correct it with one piece of feedback instead of starting over."
05"Coach me on briefing a Shopify sales analysis — my ‘how did we do this month’ asks are too vague; show me how to specify the date range, the breakdown (by collection vs SKU), and the output format I actually want."
06"My emails to Cowork are one-liners and the results disappoint — run the three-question check on ‘write a Klaviyo welcome email’ and give me a fill-in-the-blank template I can reuse for every Klaviyo ask."
07"Teach me to delegate our weekly ops report well — what ‘done’ looks like, the context Cowork needs from ShipHero and ApparelMagic, and the constraints — then hand me reusable ops templates."
08"I keep getting generic competitor research — coach me on a sharp brief for ‘analyze three jewelry competitors’ that names the dimensions (pricing, positioning, hero products) and the format for #marketing."
09"Show me a before/after on a vague vs. sharp instruction for prepping a wholesale buyer meeting — pulling the right NuORDER history and ApparelMagic stock — so I can see exactly what specificity buys me."
10"My ‘make me a report’ requests are too open-ended — teach me the three-question framework and build 10 delegation templates tailored to MM’s recurring reports (sales, inventory, CS, influencer)."
11"Coach me to correct, not restart — when Cowork’s PDP draft for our stacking rings is 80% there, show me how to give one precise piece of feedback that fixes it instead of re-running the whole thing."
12"Teach me to brief a multi-step task clearly — ‘reconcile NuORDER orders against QuickBooks and flag mismatches’ — by stating the end state, the inputs, and the constraints up front."
13"My influencer-recap requests come back unfocused — run the framework on ‘summarize top creators from ShopMy and LoudCrowd’ and give me a template that nails the metrics and the audience every time."
14"Coach our whole #marketing team on delegation — give us a shared one-page ‘how to ask Cowork’ cheat sheet plus role-specific templates so everyone’s requests are sharp from day one."
15"Teach me to give context Cowork can’t guess — show me how to brief a CS reply in Gorgias that includes our refund policy and warm tone so the draft is usable on the first try."
16"I want to delegate a big batch task well — ‘draft PDPs for 15 new SKUs’ — coach me on the brief (voice, length, structure, what to include per product) before I hand it over."
17"Run the three-question check on my ‘plan our Q4 content’ ask — it’s way too broad — and teach me to scope it into a clear, well-briefed request with a defined deliverable."
18"Coach me on writing a reusable brief for our monthly close summary from QuickBooks — define ‘done’, the exact accounts to include, and the format — so finance gets the same clean output every month."
19"Build me a personal ‘delegation playbook’ file — the three-question check plus 10 templates for my most common MM tasks — that I keep in my folder and reuse whenever I’m about to ask Cowork for something."
20"My ‘make me a social calendar’ requests come back shapeless — coach me to brief it well by specifying the platforms, the cadence, the product drops to feature, and the format Sprout Social needs."
