5 SKILLSStandalone · freeaccountability-partner
Weekly accountability check-in for anyone running their own operation — solo operator, founder, freelancer, investor.
Full skill details
Weekly accountability check-in for anyone running their own operation — solo operator, founder, freelancer, investor. Opens by holding the user to last week's commitments, works through wins, slippage and blockers, lands 3–5 specific commitments for the week ahead, then emits a carry-forward block so next week's session has memory. Use whenever the user says "weekly accountability", "accountability check-in", "hold me accountable", "weekly review", "weekly debrief", "let's do my week", or starts a new work week. Standalone — no account, no connectors, no database; continuity runs on a plain-text ledger the user keeps.

Standalone and beginner-friendly — runs on user inputs only, no connectors or account required. NOT for personal-home interior design; this is resale-driven.

The CMO (marketing) Cowork lane.
Full skill details
The CMO (marketing) Cowork lane. Produces marketing artifacts for a property or deal AND emits a structured event to the forVEX activity ledger at the moment of action, so Readvise can reason over cross-lane activity.

Full skill details
Log a property touch (call, text, drive-by, offer, counter, walkthrough, etc.) to the forVEX deal timeline. Use when the franchisee narrates something that happened on a deal — "called the seller", "drove by 113 Stevenson", "Wally said list at $172k", "sent a postcard", "left a voicemail" — and wants it captured against the right property without opening the app. Activity logs do NOT move pipeline status; use forvex-deal-disposition for that.
