Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
What kind of responsibilities does the press secretary have beyond press conferences?

Also, I'd love to know what's going through Spicer's head when he smokebombs out super early. Is it "Well, I've exhausted all of my relative softballs, time to go"?

I think he's ready for a chair
I think Spicer has just finally realized that there is no point in sticking his neck out trying to defend a president who will very likely hours later contradict anything he says at that podium and then blame Spicer for screwing up. It seems like his press briefings the last couple weeks have even more "speaks for itself," "i think the president was very clear", etc deflections than ever before.

Talking to the press. Literally that's it. That stuff where he says he hasn't talked to the President or doesn't know what Trump thinks about X is him refusing to do his job. It's calculated on the president's behalf but it's worthless.

Spicer was also communications director for a while, which is a more expansive job that includes messaging across various forms of media, but he got taken off that.

Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) introduced legislation Monday to classify presidential social media posts — including President Trump's much-discussed tweets — as presidential records.

The Communications Over Various Feeds Electronically for Engagement (COVFEFE) Act, which has the same acronym as an infamous Trump Twitter typo last month, would amend the Presidential Records Act to include "social media."

Corsa Coal Corp. (TSXV:CSO) decided almost a year ago to open the Acosta mine, about 60 miles from Pittsburgh, to take advantage of higher metallurgical coal prices. The official opening took place last Thursday, attended by business leaders and about 200 miners whose "mining headgear lay atop red, white, and blue table cloths labeled 'Make Coal Great Again,' according to a description by Associated Press. The mine would create up to 100 new jobs.

He's been leaning on very small positive-ish thing he's done, trying to imply that there's going to be much more winning in the future.

The problem is that when you're 5 months into a 4 year term, that doesn't work anywhere near as well.

It's also not his accomplishment. The company decided to open the mine a loving year ago. This mine was going to open no matter who was president.
