Summary
Adds the Out-of-Office Assistant skill (
submissions/ooo-assistant/).While you're out of office, it auto-replies to 1:1 chats and @mentions (clearly
marked as AI-generated), flags genuinely urgent items for your attention, watches
meetings for mentions of your name, and posts an end-of-day digest of what you
missed so re-entry is painless.
