Most small firms still don't use AI. In the EU, 83 in 100 firms with 10 to 49 people didn't in 2025 (Eurostat). They need someone to set it up. This kit is a skill for Claude: a set of steps Claude follows for 1 job. You paste your notes on a real business. It finds the slow step, turns it into a task list, and writes the brief, the test and the offer.
For anyone who wants to set up Claude for small businesses. A dentist, a gym, a builder, a shop. You don't need to write code.

The slow step = quotes
The same made-up company as in the carousel, seen over 1 month. The skill starts from numbers like these.
Each step ends with 1 thing you can show the owner. The skill takes you through each step with your business, and tells you what to bring.
Every business has 1 step where work waits the longest. Everything after it is late too. Measure 1 number before you change anything.
You show the owner1 number
Write the goal. Then write every action from the visit to the follow-up. Mark who does each one: Claude or a person. Claude drafts. A person sends.
You show the ownerTask list
Connect Claude to their Gmail and Google Drive. It reads the notes in Drive and saves the email as a Gmail draft. Explain the job like you would to a new employee.
You show the ownerSkill
Run the skill on the notes from 10 past visits and compare each quote with the one really sent. A case passes only if all 3 checks are yes. Ready when 10 of 10 pass.
You show the ownerTest sheet
It runs on its own every weekday evening. Nobody has to start it. 6 PM, Claude reads the visit notes. 6:10 PM, the quotes are ready. Before 9 AM, the owner checks and sends. A scheduled task in Claude runs it in the cloud, even when the computer is asleep.
You show the ownerSchedule
A system nobody uses earns nothing. Give them 1 page and a 20-min call. Then every Friday, check the 1 number.

Then repeat on the next slow step.
I installed the skill in an empty Claude Code and pasted the notes below. Nothing else. The answer came in 100 seconds, 3,423 words. The lines in quotes are its own.
Example · the made-up company of the carousel/ai-consultant Notes from my talk with the owner of a kitchen renovation company. In a normal month they get 30 calls, do 20 site visits, send 14 quotes and sign 7 jobs. Each quote takes about 5 days after the visit. Right now 6 visits are waiting for a quote. The owner says about 2 jobs a month go to faster rivals. The profit on 1 job is about $6,000. The owner writes every quote by hand. The price list and the quote template are in Google Drive. Customer emails are in Gmail. The site team types the visit notes in Google Drive after each visit.
“Goal: every quote sent within 24 hours of the visit.”
“Why this step: it is the longest wait the owner named. It is the closest step to money.”
“At about $6,000 profit per job (owner said), that is 2 × $6,000 = $12,000 a month.”
And it set the daily times, like the carousel: “Every weekday at 6 PM, Claude reads that day's visit notes in Google Drive.”
It split the job into more tasks than the slide. Same rule: Claude drafts, a person sends.
Its words, cut to fit. “Task 6 stays with the owner: it is a price promise to a customer, so it carries money risk.”
Then it saved the job as a new skill, kitchen-quotes, with the rules for what is missing: “Never guess a price, a measurement, a date or a name.”
A case passes only if all 3 checks are yes:
“It is ready when 10 of 10 pass. 9 of 10 is a fail. After any fix, run all 10 again.”
How I ran it: Claude Code 2.1.280 with Opus 5.5, in an empty test folder with only this skill installed. 1 message, 100 seconds. It also wrote the schedule, the team guide, the 1-page offer and 12 questions for the owner. The full answer opens with your email. It is 1 run on 1 example: on a real business you test it on 10 real cases, as in step 4.
You use Claude and you want to get paid for it. The skill tells you what to ask, what to build and what to charge for.
Websites, marketing, accounting, IT. Your clients already trust you. Add the fix for their slow step.
Be your own consultant. Answer the 3 questions about your own week, and start with your slow step.
