direction

A weekly review of the tracker across all areas that writes a memo (what moved, what is blocked, the proposed allocation of the week, the decisions needed) and records each confirmed decision as a tracker item, with a gate check that every memo has a date, a period, its four sections, and a status on every decision.

What it does

The direction area of a company that runs its work in a tracker. Once a week, /direction:review reads every item in bd across all areas and writes one memo: what moved per area in the period, what is blocked and by what, a proposed allocation of the coming week, and the decisions the owner must take. The memo is a proposal. A decision counts once the owner states it: the skill then records it as a tracker item with area:direction and kind:decision, closed with the decision as its reason, and the memo line names the record. The item closes at record time because it is the record of the choice; the work that follows goes to kind:action items in their own areas, which stay open until done. A gate check reports memos that lack a date or a period, miss one of the four sections, or leave a decision without a status.

The module reads the same labels as the cockpit of the CTO powersuit (area: for the eight areas, kind: for finding, decision, action, and lead) and needs nothing else from it. Items without an area: label stay under "no area label" in every table; the skill never guesses an area.

  Weekly direction review from the tracker: reads every item in bd across all areas, writes a dated memo with what moved per area, what is blocked, the proposed allocation for the week, and the decisions the owner must take, then records each decision the owner confirms as a tracker item with area:direction and kind:decision.

Gate checks
