SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

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).

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze my engineering management time allocation using calendar data?

The EM Grid framework scores an engineering manager's coverage across Self, People, Team, and Org dimensions intersecting with Growth, Impact, and Connection areas. This creates a 12-cell matrix that normalizes observed behavior into 0–10 scores to pinpoint specific blind spots.

What's the best way to discover blind spots in my engineering manager meeting patterns?

Yes, connecting Slack enhances EM Grid scoring by capturing lightweight async signals for relationship and developmental work that calendars under-capture. This provides a more complete picture of your actual management scope and driver activities beyond scheduled meetings.

Do I need Calendar MCP access to score my EM Grid coverage?

Slack context is optional but recommended for EM Grid scoring. It accounts for lightweight async developmental and relationship work that calendar events alone do not capture, ensuring a more accurate normalized 0–10 score across all 12 grid cells.

How does EM Grid self-reflection scoring work for monthly reviews?

Limitations of calendar-only EM Grid analysis include missing lightweight async relationship and developmental work that occurs outside scheduled meetings. Calendars capture structured time but under-represent the full scope of management energy spent on informal connections.
