What problem does it solve?
This Skill solves the problem of blind spots in an Engineering Manager’s time allocation by scoring EM Grid coverage from real calendar activity (and optionally Slack signals), so the assessment is based on observed behavior rather than memory or self-perception.
Core Features & Use Cases
- 12-cell EM Grid scoring: Scores Self/People/Team/Org across Growth/Impact/Connection to reveal imbalance and neglected areas.
- Live calendar-first analysis: Automatically pulls your last 30 days of scheduled work, filters irrelevant items, and groups recurring meeting patterns to classify management scope and driver.
- Slack context enhancement (recommended): Uses lightweight Slack signals to account for async relationship and developmental work that calendars under-capture.
- Blind spot identification: Produces a clear diagnosis, top weak cells, and targeted actions that are cross-checked against what the data already shows.
Quick Start
Ask the system to run the em-grid-scorer for you using your connected calendar data and to analyze the last 30 days of activity (connect Slack if available).
