Get through the brutal logistics after a death — who to notify, what accounts and services to close, in what order, and what genuinely can't wait vs what can wait months — with explicit permission to do it slowly and in pieces. Use when someone says 'my [person] died and I don't know where to start', 'what do I need to do after a death', 'help me handle the admin', or is drowning in the paperwork of loss. Produces a triaged task list (urgent / soon / whenever), notification scripts, and a gentle sequence. Not legal or tax advice — the humane logistics, with pointers to the professional bits.
▸The relationship to the person and the rough shape of their life — worked? rented/ owned? married/partnered? dependents? online life?
▸What's already been handled — (death certificate, funeral) and what's looming
▸The user's own state and support — are they doing this alone, exhausted, able to delegate any of it?
▸Country/region, so the professional-process pointers — (registration, probate, benefits) route correctly — flagged for local verification, not asserted
✅ 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.
✓The list is triaged into days/weeks/months, and the 🟢 pile is genuinely large
✓— the reassurance that most of it can wait is real, not token
✓The reporting-a-death script exists so the user composes it once, not thirty times
✓The task list reflects this person's actual life, including digital accounts
✓Legal/tax/benefits/probate are handed to professionals and the official process,
✓flagged verify-local, never improvised
✓Explicit permission to go slow and delegate is present and prominent
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not dump an undifferentiated master checklist — the triage IS the help; an
unsorted list adds to the overwhelm
Do not give legal, tax, or probate advice — name the process, route to the
official service or a solicitor, verify-local
Do not manufacture urgency — most tasks aren't time-critical, and pretending
