"type": "object",
"properties": {}
} | — | — | |
convert_meeting_to_asyncGiven a meeting's purpose or agenda, propose the async equivalent: the artifact that replaces it, where it lives, who decides, and the deadline. Meetings are a point of escalation, not the default.Input schema{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",

},
"required": [
"purpose"

draft_decision_docTurn a decision plus its options into a structured, async-friendly decision record (ADR): context, options with tradeoffs, the decision, and its reversibility. Write the decision down so others can follow it without a meeting.Input schema{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"decision": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The decision to be made, in one line."

handle_objectionMap a common objection to open/async work ('async is slow', 'remote kills culture') to the book's reframe, with a chapter citation.Input schema{

"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",

"properties": {
"cadence": {

"type": "string"

score_status_updateScore a draft status update against the 'work loudly / no surprises' rubric and suggest fixes. Good updates surface blockers early, state outcomes over activity, and link to the work.Input schema{

triage_sync_vs_asyncRecommend whether a task should be handled synchronously or asynchronously, using the decision rule from 'meetings are a point of escalation.' Async is the default; sync is the escalation.Input schema{

"properties": {
"task": {
