# Operations Plugin
|
|
|
|
A business operations plugin primarily designed for [Cowork](https://claude.com/product/cowork), Anthropic's agentic desktop application — though it also works in Claude Code. Helps with vendor management, process documentation, change management, capacity planning, compliance tracking, and resource planning. Works with any ops team — standalone with your input, supercharged when you connect your ITSM, project tracker, and other tools.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
claude plugins add knowledge-work-plugins/operations
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
Explicit workflows you invoke with a slash command:
|
|
|
|
| Command | Description |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `/vendor-review` | Evaluate a vendor — cost analysis, risk assessment, contract summary, and renewal recommendation |
|
|
| `/process-doc` | Document a business process — flowcharts, RACI matrices, SOPs, and runbooks |
|
|
| `/change-request` | Create a change management request — impact analysis, rollback plan, approval routing |
|
|
| `/capacity-plan` | Plan resource capacity — workload analysis, headcount modeling, utilization forecasting |
|
|
| `/status-report` | Generate a status report — project updates, KPIs, risks, and action items for leadership |
|
|
| `/runbook` | Create or update an operational runbook — step-by-step procedures for recurring tasks |
|
|
|
|
All commands work **standalone** (provide context and details) and get **supercharged** with MCP connectors.
|
|
|
|
## Skills
|
|
|
|
Domain knowledge Claude uses automatically when relevant:
|
|
|
|
| Skill | Description |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `vendor-management` | Evaluate, compare, and manage vendor relationships — contracts, performance, risk |
|
|
| `process-optimization` | Analyze and improve business processes — identify bottlenecks, reduce waste, streamline workflows |
|
|
| `change-management` | Plan and execute organizational or technical changes — communication, training, adoption |
|
|
| `risk-assessment` | Identify, assess, and mitigate operational risks — risk registers, impact analysis, controls |
|
|
| `compliance-tracking` | Track compliance requirements — audits, certifications, regulatory deadlines, policy adherence |
|
|
| `resource-planning` | Plan and optimize resource allocation — capacity, utilization, forecasting, budget |
|
|
|
|
## Example Workflows
|
|
|
|
### Evaluating a Vendor
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/vendor-review
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Provide the vendor name, contract details, or upload a proposal. Get a structured evaluation with cost analysis, risk flags, and a recommendation.
|
|
|
|
### Documenting a Process
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/process-doc employee offboarding
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Describe the process or walk me through it. Get a complete SOP with flowchart, RACI matrix, and step-by-step procedures.
|
|
|
|
### Submitting a Change Request
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/change-request
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Describe the change. Get an impact analysis, risk assessment, rollback plan, and communication template ready for approval.
|
|
|
|
### Planning Capacity
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/capacity-plan
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Upload team data or describe your resources. Get utilization analysis, bottleneck identification, and headcount recommendations.
|
|
|
|
### Leadership Status Report
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/status-report
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
I'll pull updates from your connected tools (or ask you for input) and generate a polished status report with KPIs, risks, and next steps.
|
|
|
|
### Creating a Runbook
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/runbook monthly close process
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Walk me through the process once. I'll document it as a repeatable runbook with checklists, troubleshooting, and escalation paths.
|
|
|
|
