Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.
Canonical shelf is Build → PM because the persona’s core job is coordinating people, tasks, and rituals—not one-off infra or launch work. Subphase pm matches standups, delegation, meeting prep, and shared OKR sheets—the planning and coordination layer of delivery.
Where it fits
Run gws workflow +standup-report and post the summary to the team Chat space before the day’s build work.
Prepare a 1:1 with gws workflow +meeting-prep using the week’s calendar agenda table.
Append OKR progress rows with gws sheets +append after the weekly-digest snapshot.
How it compares
A persona playbook on top of gws workflows—not a standalone MCP server or a generic “manage my team” chat prompt.
