Ran a simulated interview end to end: it correctly refused to hand out generic advice, tallied a real 13/50 score, and named the exact gap ('Gmail connected but Calendar isn't, so Cowork can't see your schedule for meeting prep') with a concrete next step and time estimate — well ahead of an unstructured baseline answer. Separately, the library's own bundled `install.sh` is broken: it globs a `tier-*/` folder structure the repo no longer has, so running it prints 'Installed 0 skills' while looking successful — use the direct per-skill `cp -r` instead (which is what this catalog entry does).
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Cowork Health Check does
Walks the user through five scored categories (preferences, connected tools, skills/automations, workflows, advanced features), tallies a 0-50 total, and hands back the three highest-impact next steps with exact actions and time estimates. Triggers on 'health check', 'am I using cowork right', 'optimize my setup', 'cowork audit', 'what am I missing', or 'how do I get more out of cowork'.
