ai-first-process-redesign

Facilitates a zero-based AI-first process redesign session that helps a team reimagine an existing work process as AI-first. Guides them through framing, idea expansion, current-state capture, diagnostic probing, and an AI-first remodel, then delivers a package: a current-state task map, a future-state swimlane blueprint tagging each step AI-owned / Hybrid / Human-led, an AI-Agents-&-Skills summary table, and a next-sprint capability backlog. Weighs the full range of AI building blocks — process change, knowledge, tools, reusable skills, agents, connected agents — instead of defaulting to an agent. Use when the user wants to redesign a process for AI, make a workflow AI-first, map which tasks AI should own, or find AI or agent opportunities in a process. It shows WHERE AI could help; it does NOT build or deploy the agents or skills themselves. Do NOT use to build a specific agent or skill, for a one-off automation with no process to rethink, or for employee performance evaluation.

An agent can have at most 8 skills. Custom skills aren't available in tenants that use Microsoft Purview Information Barriers.

Compatible isn't the same as safe. These verdicts only say whether a skill's files follow Microsoft's documented load rules. The checker reads files and never runs them, and it doesn't review what a skill or its scripts actually do. Read a skill's instructions and scripts before you add it to an agent.
