SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Senior executives and their assistant partners often struggle to protect deep work time while juggling gatekeeping, meeting design, and staff onboarding. This skill provides a principled framework to design and operate calendars, inboxes, and operating rhythms that amplify judgment and reduce cognitive load.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Calendar architecture: deep-work blocks (90 minutes), office hours, meeting clusters, and no-meeting half-days.
  • Inbox design & gatekeeping: triage rules, escalation ladders, delegated actions, and pre-read discipline.
  • CoS vs EA scoping: role charters, onboarding plans, cadence documentation, and shared-principal documentation.
  • Decision staffing: prep briefs, decision framing, and post-meeting debriefs to capture institutional memory.
  • Cadence design: daily prep, weekly reviews, monthly/quarterly rhythms, and a delegated-authority framework.

Quick Start

Schedule a protected 90-minute deep-work block for the principal and align a weekly calendar cluster plan.

The one hour this week that should be the principal's highest-leverage hour, and what the current calendar is doing with it.
