Follow-Up Chaser

Q: How do I know the Follow-Up Chaser output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Rung 1 shrinks the ask rather than bumping it; Every deadline cited is real, with its reason; The default-on-silence appears wherever a default legitimately exists; Channel escalation happens once, framed as buried-email courtesy.

Chase unanswered emails without being annoying — the escalating-gently sequence with timing rules, the re-ask that makes replying easy, and the close-the-loop discipline that ends zombie threads. Use when asked they haven't replied what do I send, write a follow-up that isn't pushy, how long do I wait before chasing, or manage my waiting-on list. Produces the follow-up sequence with dates, drafts per rung, and the give-up-gracefully exit.

What to give it

▸The original ask and its date — what was requested, how big the ask is (a signature vs. a favor vs. a decision), and any real deadline

▸The relationship and power direction — chasing a report, a peer, a boss, and a customer are four different cadences

▸The stakes — blocking your work? Nice-to-have? The sequence's pace and the close's shape follow

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Rung 1 shrinks the ask rather than bumping it

✓Every deadline cited is real, with its reason

✓The default-on-silence appears wherever a default legitimately exists

✓Channel escalation happens once, framed as buried-email courtesy

✓The close is drafted before the sequence starts — silence has a planned meaning

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not send "just bumping this" — a bump adds nothing and costs attention

Do not escalate temperature (guilt, passive aggression) — escalate channel and clarity instead

Do not chase without a waiting-list entry — untracked chases become the zombie threads

Do not fake urgency — the first discovered fake deadline devalues every future real one

Do not let threads die unclosed — an explicit close beats an awkward silence in every relationship that matters
