Design an out-of-office that actually protects the time off — the auto-reply that routes instead of apologizes, the coverage map behind it, and the pre-departure handoff that prevents the beach laptop. Use when asked write my out of office message, going on vacation what do I set up, cover my work while I'm out, or I always come back to chaos. Produces the OOO message with routing, the coverage assignments confirmed, the pre-departure checklist, and the re-entry buffer plan.

# Out Of Office Designer Skill

An out-of-office message is the visible 10% of a system whose real job is *making the absence survivable without you* — and most OOO setups are an apology with dates. The working version routes: every likely need maps to a named human who agreed to it, the auto-reply states who-for-what, urgent has a real path that isn't your phone, and the return date in the message is padded a day so re-entry isn't a 400-email ambush during back-to-back meetings.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The OOO message** — dates (padded), routing by need, the urgent path, no apology
- **The coverage map** — likely needs → named coverers, each *confirmed*, each briefed
- **The pre-departure checklist** — the handoffs, the expectations set, the deadlines moved before they become someone's surprise
- **The re-entry plan** — the buffer day, the triage-first rule, the coverage debrief
