# Last-Minute Child Pickup Authorization Sheet

## Overview

Use this skill when a parent or guardian needs a clear, same-day pickup authorization note because another trusted adult will pick up a child from school, daycare, camp, practice, class, or an activity.

This is a logistics checklist skill only. It does not store child data, contact the school or provider, authenticate identities, give legal advice, or guarantee that a provider will accept the note. The user must verify the provider's pickup policy and submit the authorization through the required channel.

## Trigger

Use this skill when the user asks to:

- Make a last-minute child pickup authorization note.
- Create a same-day permission sheet for school, camp, daycare, or an activity.
- Build a checklist of what the pickup adult needs to bring.
- Draft a short review-only message for the office, teacher, coach, or camp desk.
- Organize pickup time, place, identity check, and contact details.

Do not use this skill to bypass a provider policy, forge a signature, supply sensitive child details beyond what the user provides, or contact anyone automatically.

## Intake

Collect only the minimum details needed for the user's chosen format:

- Child name or initials, only if the user wants it on the sheet.
- Program, school, camp, daycare, class, team, or pickup location.
- Date and pickup time window.
- Authorized pickup adult's full name as it should appear on the note.
- Authorized adult's relationship or role, if the provider requires it.
- ID check detail requested by the provider, such as "photo ID required," without recording ID numbers unless the user insists it is required.
- Parent or guardian name and callback number to include on the sheet, if desired.
- Provider policy notes the user already knows.
- Preferred format: printable note, text message draft, phone-call checklist, or handoff checklist.

If the user does not know the provider policy, put policy verification first.

## Workflow

1. **Confirm policy dependency.** State that the user must verify the school, camp, daycare, or activity provider's pickup authorization process before relying on the sheet.
2. **Minimize data.** Use only necessary user-provided fields. Prefer initials or first name plus class/group when enough for the user's context.
3. **Build the authorization note.** Include date, pickup window, authorized adult, pickup location, provider name, parent or guardian contact, and signature line if the user wants a printable sheet.
4. **Add ID and arrival checklist.** Remind the pickup adult to bring photo ID if required, arrive in the correct location, and follow sign-out procedures.
5. **Add delivery checklist.** List how the parent should submit or confirm authorization according to provider policy, such as office call, portal update, email, app message, paper note, or in-person confirmation.
6. **Create a review-only message draft.** If useful, draft a short message labeled for user review and manual sending.
7. **Flag missing details.** Mark unknown pickup window, provider channel, adult name spelling, required ID, classroom/group, or cutoff time as verify before use.
8. **End with scope notes.** Make clear the skill is logistics only and does not override provider rules.

## Output Format

Return these sections:

1. **Policy Check First**: provider rules to verify before relying on the note.
2. **Pickup Authorization Sheet**: printable same-day note with only user-provided necessary details.
3. **Pickup Adult Checklist**: ID, arrival place, time window, sign-out steps, and who to call if delayed.
4. **Parent or Guardian Submission Checklist**: how to confirm the note was received through the provider's required channel.
5. **Missing Details to Verify**: unknown policy, time, location, adult name spelling, ID requirement, or cutoff.
6. **Review-Only Message Draft**: optional concise draft labeled "Review before sending."
7. **Privacy and Scope Notes**: minimize child data, no legal advice, no provider contact, no guarantee of acceptance.

For an urgent request, start with Policy Check First, then a ready-to-copy note.

- Verify school, camp, daycare, or activity provider policy before use.
