SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Cadence management for an automation-driven agency: it coordinates daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly heartbeats, ensuring timely checks and escalations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automates cadence evaluation and heartbeat file generation for daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly cycles.
  • Bootstraps and maintains state at _vision/rhythm/state.json, applying pass and degraded logic with ADR escalation when needed.
  • Integrates with other skills (keeper-test, career-ladder, eval) to coordinate rhythm health across the organization.

Quick Start

Invoke rhythm at the start of a CEO session to run due heartbeats and bootstrap state if needed.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate cadence checks for daily, weekly, and monthly business cycles?

Cadence checks are automated by evaluating daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly heartbeats against the current state, generating heartbeat files, and updating state on pass or incrementing degradedCount on failure.

What is a heartbeat evaluation and how does it handle degraded states?

Heartbeat evaluation assesses cycle health against pass criteria. When a check fails, it increments a degradedCount and triggers ADR escalation to address governance issues within the automation workflow.

How do I bootstrap cadence state when starting a new CEO-driven session?

Bootstrap cadence state by invoking the evaluation at the start of a CEO session. If state.json is missing, the system automatically initializes it and consults trigger rules from references/cadences.md.

Can I integrate cadence coordination with other organizational evaluation tools?

Yes, cadence coordination integrates with skills like keeper-test, career-ladder, and eval to synchronize rhythm health, trigger rules, and escalation protocols across the organization.

When do I need to trigger ADR escalation during cadence management?

ADR escalation is triggered during cadence management when a heartbeat check fails. The system applies degraded logic by incrementing degradedCount and generating an escalation to address the failure.
