10 Cowork Plugins That Replace Departments

All ten are built by Anthropic or its partners and the source is public on GitHub. Every prompt below drafts first and asks before it sends or changes anything.

Productivity

For anyone juggling too much. Keeps a task list and a memory of your people, projects and shorthand. Run /start once to set it up, then /update to triage tasks and sync from your email, calendar and chat.

Works with Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, Asana, Linear, Monday, ClickUp.

Morning Brief

/update --comprehensive Then give me my morning brief. GOAL: I want to start the day knowing exactly what matters, in under 5 minutes of reading. USE: my Gmail and Slack from the last 12 hours, today's Google Calendar, and my task list. STEPS 1. Pull anything that needs my attention or a reply. 2. Rank the top 3 by impact on my priorities this week: [YOUR PRIORITIES]. 3. Draft replies for up to 5 routine messages. Don't send anything. 4. For each meeting today: who it's with, why it matters and 2 prep notes. 5. Add any new to-dos you found to my task list and tell me which ones. FORMAT: Top 3, then Drafts, then Meetings, then New tasks. Bullets, no fluff. GUARDRAILS: If something looks urgent but you're unsure, flag it instead of guessing. Never send, accept or decline anything without asking me.

Enterprise Search

For anyone who loses files. One question searches your email, chat, docs and wikis at once, then gives you a digest with sources.

Works with Slack, Gmail, Notion, Asana, Guru, Atlassian, Google Calendar.

Find Anything

Search everything I've connected (email, Slack, Notion, Drive, Asana and anything else) for: [WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, e.g. "the latest version of the Q3 pricing doc and what Sarah said about it last week"]. STEPS 1. Find the most recent version of the document and link it. 2. Pull the exact quotes from messages that discuss it, with who said it, where and when. 3. Note any conflicting versions or decisions that were later reversed. FORMAT - Link to the latest version - 3 to 5 quotes with source and date - A 2-line summary of where we landed and what's still open GUARDRAILS: Only use what you actually find. If you can't find something, say which tools you searched and suggest where else it might be. Don't paraphrase a quote as if it were exact.

Sales

For anyone doing their own outreach. Preps calls, researches accounts, reviews your pipeline, drafts outreach and handles objections. It updates records and sends email only when you ask.

Works with HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo, Clay, Gmail, Google Calendar, Gong, Calendly and more.

Unstick My Pipeline

Review my pipeline in [HubSpot / Salesforce / my attached CRM export]. GOAL: Unstick deals and book calls this week. STEPS 1. List every open deal that hasn't moved in 14+ days, with stage, value and last touch. 2. Rank the top 5 by value times likelihood to close. 3. For each of the top 5, research the company (recent news, hiring, funding) and draft a short follow-up email that references one specific thing and asks for a 15-minute call. 4. Suggest one next step for every other stale deal: follow up, nurture or close out. FORMAT: A table of stale deals, then the 5 drafts. GUARDRAILS: Drafts only. Don't send email or update CRM records until I approve. Keep each email under 90 words, in my voice: [3 WORDS FOR YOUR TONE]. Cite where each company fact came from.

Marketing

For anyone running their own marketing. Drafts content, plans campaigns, writes email sequences, runs competitor briefs and SEO audits, and reports on performance.

Works with Canva, Figma, HubSpot, Klaviyo, Ahrefs, Similarweb, Notion, Slack.

2-Week Content Plan

Plan my next 2 weeks of Instagram content. INPUTS - My niche and audience: [DESCRIBE] - My offer or goal for these 2 weeks: [e.g. "grow my email list", "launch my course"] - My best posts from last month: [PASTE CAPTIONS + RESULTS, or attach a screenshot of insights] STEPS 1. Find what my best posts have in common (hook, format, topic). 2. Plan 6 posts (3 a week) mixing carousel, single image and reel, each tied to my goal. 3. For each: the hook, the format, the outline and a draft caption with a clear call to action. 4. For week 1, create the carousel and single-image designs in Canva and give me the links. FORMAT: A 2-week calendar table, then the captions. GUARDRAILS: Use my voice from the captions I pasted. No hashtag walls, no generic advice. Ask me if my goal is unclear.

Brand Voice

For anyone who wants AI writing to sound like them. Built by Tribe AI. It studies your existing writing, turns it into brand guidelines, then checks new content against them.

Works with Notion, Box, Figma, Gong, Granola, Atlassian.

Learn My Voice

Discover my brand voice, then use it. INPUTS: [ATTACH 15 TO 20 OF YOUR BEST CAPTIONS, EMAILS OR POSTS, or point to the Notion page or Drive folder where they live] STEPS 1. Analyze the samples and write my brand voice guidelines: tone, sentence length, words I use, words I never use, how I open and close, and 3 do/don't examples pulled from my own writing. 2. Show me the guidelines and ask me 3 questions to tighten them before you save them. 3. Using the final guidelines, write a 3-email welcome sequence for new subscribers to [YOUR LIST OR OFFER]. 4. Check each email against the guidelines and tell me any line that drifts. GUARDRAILS: Mirror my voice exactly. No corporate language, no buzzwords, no em dashes. Don't invent facts about my business. Leave [brackets] where you need details from me.

Design

For anyone shipping pages, apps or mockups. Gives you design critiques, UX copy, accessibility audits, design-system docs and developer handoff specs. For making decks or mockups from scratch, use Claude Design instead.

Works with Figma, Slack, Notion, Linear, Asana, Intercom.

Critique My Page

Critique this design: [ATTACH A SCREENSHOT, OR PASTE A FIGMA LINK OR LANDING PAGE URL]. CONTEXT - What it is: [e.g. "sales page for my $2K AI consulting package"] - Who it's for: [AUDIENCE] - The one action I want people to take: [e.g. "book a call"] STEPS 1. First impression in 5 seconds: what someone notices, what they'd think it's for, and whether the main action is obvious. 2. Hierarchy, layout and readability: what to move, cut or enlarge. 3. Copy: rewrite the headline, subhead and button text, with 2 options each. 4. Accessibility: color contrast, text size and tap targets on mobile. FORMAT: A ranked list of the 5 highest-impact fixes first, each with why it matters, then the details. GUARDRAILS: Be direct. Tie every note to the one action I want. Don't redesign my brand colors or fonts unless they hurt readability.

Finance

For whoever closes the books. Preps journal entries, reconciles accounts, builds financial statements, runs variance analysis and supports audits. Its connectors are data warehouses, so most small businesses attach exports or use the Small Business plugin below for QuickBooks and Stripe.

Works with Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Slack, Gmail.

Reconcile The Month

Reconcile my books for [MONTH]. INPUTS: [ATTACH YOUR ACCOUNTING EXPORT (e.g. QuickBooks transactions) + YOUR PAYMENT PROCESSOR PAYOUT REPORT (e.g. Stripe) + BANK STATEMENT CSV] STEPS 1. Match deposits in the bank statement to payouts and to recorded revenue. 2. List anything unmatched or uncategorized, with date, amount and a suggested category. 3. Draft the journal entries needed to fix the differences. 4. Run a variance against last month: the 5 biggest changes in revenue and expense lines, and a likely reason for each. FORMAT: Reconciliation summary, unmatched items table, proposed entries, variance table. GUARDRAILS: Don't change or post anything in my accounting software. Show your math. Flag anything that looks like a tax question for my accountant instead of guessing.

Legal

For anyone reviewing a contract without a lawyer. Reviews contracts against your playbook, sorts NDAs into green, yellow and red, checks compliance and drafts responses. It doesn’t replace a lawyer on high-stakes deals.

Works with DocuSign, Box, Egnyte, Slack, Gmail.

NDA Triage

Triage the attached NDA. [ATTACH THE NDA] CONTEXT - I am the [disclosing / receiving / mutual] party. - What we're sharing: [e.g. "product roadmap with a potential partner"] - My dealbreakers: [e.g. "no non-solicit, no term over 2 years"] STEPS 1. Classify the whole NDA as GREEN (standard, fine to sign), YELLOW (negotiate) or RED (needs a lawyer). 2. Go clause by clause. Mark each one green, yellow or red. 3. For every yellow and red clause: quote it, explain the risk in plain English, and write the exact change to ask for. 4. Check for anything hidden: non-compete, non-solicit, missing carve-outs, unusual term or governing law. FORMAT: Overall rating first, then a clause table, then a short email to the other side requesting the changes. GUARDRAILS: Keep boilerplate notes brief. This is not legal advice. Say clearly when something needs a real lawyer.

Write the job description: a hook about the business, what they'll actually do in a typical week, must-haves vs nice-to-haves, pay and hours, and how to apply. 2. Write 5 screening questions, with what a strong answer sounds like for each. 3. Draft a short, warm offer letter template with [brackets] for the details. 4. Build a 30-day onboarding plan: what they learn and own in week 1, 2, 3 and 4, and what I check in on. FORMAT: Four clearly labeled sections I can copy straight into a doc. GUARDRAILS: Plain, friendly language. No inflated titles. Flag anything that depends on my state's employment law (contractor vs employee, required notices) so I can check it.

Small Business

It now has 44 skills, including 11 workflows (like close-month and plan-payroll) that stop for your approval at every step that touches money or customers.
