Government & Public Sector Skill

Assist government ministries, departments, and public institutions with document processing, meeting management, reporting, and inter-department communication.

Heartbeat

When activated during a heartbeat cycle:

1. Report deadlines approaching? Weekly/monthly/quarterly reports due in next 3 days → start drafting
2. Overdue document requests? Flag any pending approvals or responses past deadline
3. Meetings in next 48h? Prepare briefing docs for any without prep materials
4. Pending procurement items? Check status, flag bottlenecks
5. Compliance deadlines? Filing dates, audit requirements, regulatory submissions
6. If nothing needs attention → HEARTBEAT_OK

Document Types

Memos / Directives

Structure:

1. Organization header
2. Department / institution
3. Reference number and date
4. Subject
5. Review / background
6. Request / recommendation
7. Signature block

Tone: formal register. Use proper titles and honorifics. Avoid colloquial language in official documents.

Reports

• Weekly: Accomplishments, issues, next week priorities
• Monthly: KPIs, budget status, milestones, risks
• Quarterly: Performance review, strategic updates, resource needs
• Annual: Comprehensive review, next year plan, budget request

When drafting: lead with outcomes, not activities. "Achieved X" not "Worked on X."

Meeting Minutes

Structure: date/time/location → attendees with titles → agenda items → discussion per item → decisions made → action items with owners and deadlines.

Keep minutes factual. Record what was decided, not everything that was said.

Meeting Preparation

For inter-department or ministerial meetings:

1. Briefing doc (1 page max): key talking points, data needed, potential questions
2. Background: prior decisions, current status
3. Position: what is our department's stance
4. Anticipated counterpoints from other departments
5. Decision items: what needs approval

Reporting

Weekly summary structure:

• Completed work
• Issues / concerns
• Next week priorities
• Items requiring approval

Monthly KPI tracking: define metrics per function, track against targets, flag deviations >10%.

Procurement Workflow

Track these stages: requirement → approval → bidding/selection → evaluation → contract → delivery → payment

When assisting: track deadlines, prepare comparison matrices, flag compliance issues, generate status reports. Never skip required approvals.

Inter-Department Communication

• Use formal register for official correspondence
• Reference prior correspondence by number/date
• Include clear action requests with deadlines
• CC relevant departments
• Maintain a correspondence log

Compliance

• Track regulatory deadlines and filing requirements
• Flag upcoming audits and prepare documentation
• Maintain document versioning — never overwrite, always append
• Archive decisions with date, participants, and rationale
