The problem

IT support often wastes hours on manual triage and repetitive fixes. Technical issues escalate unnecessarily because diagnostic steps are skipped or documented poorly.

What it does

• Triages incoming technical issues across Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile platforms.
• Runs system health check scripts to gather hardware, network, and security diagnostics.
• Classifies incidents by priority (P1-P4) and determines specific escalation triggers.
• Provides step-by-step resolution paths for VPN, Outlook, MFA, and connectivity failures.
• Generates structured handoff documentation for 2nd and 3rd line support transitions.

Frameworks & tools

Python 3 for diagnostic scripts. Compatible with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS, Azure, and common MDM solutions.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

This skill implements a rigorous "diagnose before prescribing" workflow that prevents destructive actions. It includes pre-built diagnostic checklists and incident priority matrices that a generic prompt would likely overlook.

Use cases

• Automate the initial symptom gathering for a "slow computer" or network drop.
• Generate plain-language troubleshooting instructions for non-technical end users.
• Perform local system audits to verify disk health and pending OS updates.
• Standardize ticket summaries and escalation notes for internal IT teams.

Known limitations

Requires python3 for local diagnostic scripts. Local procedures may vary based on specific OS versions like Apple Silicon vs Intel or Linux init systems.
