README

Warm section prose with a fenced config + known-issues block per dimension.

How I communicate

Phone-first, fast, high-bandwidth, low-ceremony.

[channel] value = phone-first # ring me directly; phone tag welcome # known issue ERR_ASYNC_LAG — long thread, no decision workaround: just call me

How I decide

Bias to action; reversible doors fast, one-way doors slow.

[decisions] value = reversible=fast, one-way=slow # default to motion # known issue ERR_OVERSCOPED — deciding a one-way door like it's reversible workaround: name the door type out loud

How to give me feedback

Blunt is kind. Direct, specific, soon.

[feedback] value = blunt, specific, soon # I won't flinch # known issue ERR_TOO_GENTLE — softened feedback, buried lede workaround: lead with the real thing

What I optimize for

Sculpting people (and agents); real revenue; learning.

[optimizes_for] value = sculpting people, real revenue, learning # substance > status # known issue ERR_STATUS_BAIT — optimizing the metric, not the thing workaround: name the real outcome

What energizes & drains me

Charges me up — zero-to-one, field deployment, getting people better jobs.

[energy] value = sources: 0→1, field deploy, coaching, drains: ceremony, status theater # # known issue ERR_CEREMONY — meeting that should've been a call workaround: make it a call

My failure modes

Impatience; over-indexing on speed.

[known_bugs] value = impatience, overcommit # documented honestly; PRs welcome # known issue ERR_IMPATIENT — moving faster than the room workaround: say 'slow down', I will

How I run a project

Tight weekly loops; visible progress; empower then get out of the way.

[project_runtime] value = weekly loops, visible progress # empower, then get out of the way # known issue ERR_MICROMANAGE — me, in your loop, uninvited workaround: show the progress, I'll back off

What "good" looks like

Shipped, used, and someone grew.

[definition_of_done] value = shipped + used + someone grew # enough to unlock the next thing # known issue ERR_DEMO_DONE — calling a demo 'done' workaround: ship it to a real user
