## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise.

## Documentation

### Overview

Systematic approach to track team member status updates via Slack DMs with Obsidian-based internal tracking. Maintains confidentiality while gathering actionable project updates.

### When to Use

Daily/weekly team status check-ins
Project progress monitoring
Resource management and workload tracking
Identifying blockers and support needs
Behavioral pattern analysis for team optimization

### Communication (Slack DMs)

✅ DO:

Send personalized status requests (1-on-1 DMs)
Ask specific questions about THEIR projects only
Request task IDs, timelines, specific blockers
Maintain professional, supportive tone
Offer help with blockers
Follow up with non-responders (mid-day, EOD)

❌ DON'T:

Share financial information with resources (unless finance_transparency: 1 - see Configuration)
Share billing amounts, revenue figures, client contracts (unless explicitly enabled)
Discuss other team members' performance publicly
Share behavioral tracking notes with team (NEVER - always confidential)
Use public channels for status requests (keep it private)

### Internal Tracking (Obsidian)

✅ Track (Confidential):

Response times (prompt, delayed, no response)
Response quality (detailed, vague, minimal)
Behavioral patterns (proactive, reactive, non-responsive)
Communication effectiveness
Blockers and support needs

❌ Never Share with Team:

These tracking notes
Performance comparisons
Response time metrics
Non-responder lists

### config.yaml

Create a configuration file at .openclaw/workspace/skills/team-status-tracker/config.yaml:

# Team Status Tracker Configuration

# Confidentiality Settings
confidentiality:
  # Financial information transparency
  # 0 = NEVER share financial info (billing, revenue, payments) with resources (DEFAULT)
  # 1 = Share financial context when needed (budget, project value, payment status)
  finance_transparency: 0
  
  # What to NEVER share regardless of transparency setting
  always_confidential:
    - Performance comparisons between team members
    - Behavioral tracking notes
    - Response time metrics
    - Non-responder lists
    - Internal strategy discussions

# Slack Settings
slack:
  check_interval_hours: 2  # How often to check for responses
  reminder_midday: true    # Send mid-day reminder to non-responders
  reminder_eod: true       # Send end-of-day reminder
  
# Response Grading
response_grading:
  excellent: "<1h"
  good: "1-3h"
  acceptable: "3-6h"
  delayed: "6-12h"
  poor: ">12h"

### Using the Config

When finance_transparency: 0 (DEFAULT - Recommended):

❌ DON'T share:

"This project is worth $50K"
"Client is paying us $X/month"
"You'll get paid when invoice clears"
"Project budget is $XXX"
"Client owes us money"

✅ DO share:

"This project is high priority"
"Client needs this urgently"
"This is a strategic client"
General project scope and timeline

When finance_transparency: 1 (Optional - Use with caution):

✅ CAN share when contextually relevant:

"This project has a budget of $X - keep scope tight"
"Client pays milestone-based, need to deliver by [date] for payment"
"High-value client ($XX/month) - prioritize their requests"
"We're waiting on client payment before next phase"

❌ STILL DON'T share:

Individual team member salaries or rates
Performance comparisons
Behavioral tracking notes
Full contract terms
Client's internal budget/financials

### When to Enable Finance Transparency

Consider finance_transparency: 1 when:

✅ Working with senior team members (leads, managers)
✅ Team owns P&L responsibility
✅ Budget constraints affect decisions
✅ Payment delays impact work planning
✅ Team needs context for scope/priority decisions

Keep finance_transparency: 0 when:

✅ Junior team members (default safe option)
✅ Contractors/outsourced resources
✅ Large team with varied seniority
✅ Uncertain about team maturity
✅ Company policy requires strict separation

### Message Examples by Config

Scenario: Team member asks about project priority/urgency

With finance_transparency: 0 (DEFAULT):

This is a strategic client for us - high priority.
Please prioritize their requests and maintain quality.
Let me know if you need any support!

With finance_transparency: 1:

This is a high-value client ($X/month contract).
Project budget is $Y - keep scope tight and deliver by [date].
Payment is milestone-based, so meeting the deadline is critical.
Let me know if scope creep becomes an issue!

Scenario: Team member asks why project is urgent

With finance_transparency: 0:

Client needs this urgently for their Q1 launch.
It's a strategic partnership opportunity.
Can you prioritize this over [other project]?

With finance_transparency: 1:

Client needs this for Q1 launch - they've paid 50% upfront ($X).
Remaining $Y comes on delivery by [date].
Can you prioritize this? It's blocking our cash flow.

Scenario: Team member asks about changing scope

With finance_transparency: 0:

Let's stick to the original scope for now.
Any additions need client approval first.
Please document the request and I'll discuss with client.

With finance_transparency: 1:

Current scope is fixed at $X - no room in budget.
If they want additions, we need to quote separately.
Please document the request with time estimate.
I'll discuss pricing with client.

### 1. Morning: Send Status Requests

Send personalized Slack DMs asking ONLY about specific person's projects:

Hi [Name]! 👋

Quick status check on *[Their Project]*:

📊 Could you please share:
• Current progress this week?
• Any blockers or challenges?
• Coordination with team smooth?
• Support needed?

Thanks! 🚀

Key Rules:

✅ Personalize for each person's actual projects
✅ Ask specific questions
❌ NO commercial/payment info
❌ Don't mention other projects they're not on

### 2. Throughout Day: Monitor & Respond

Check Slack every 2-3 hours:

When someone responds:

Read their response in Slack
Ask follow-up questions via Slack:
Thanks for the update! 👍

Could you provide:
📋 Specific task ID or ticket number?
📊 Current progress % or milestone?
⏰ Expected completion date?
🚧 Any blockers preventing progress?


Update internal Obsidian tracking
Never share confidential info in responses

When no response by mid-day:

Hi [Name]! 👋

Just a friendly reminder - still waiting for your status update.

Would appreciate a quick response when you get a chance. Thanks! 🙏

### 3. End of Day: Final Nudge

For non-responders:

Hi [Name]! ⏰

Quick reminder - please share your status update by end of day today.

This helps us track progress and provide support. Thanks! 🙏

### 4. Track in Obsidian (Internal Only)

Create daily tracking files:

daily-status/
├── YYYY-MM-DD/
│   ├── TEAM STATUS - YYYY-MM-DD.md
│   └── SUMMARY.md
└── README.md (confidentiality rules)

Track for each person:

Response time
Response quality
Behavioral pattern
Project updates
Blockers mentioned
Follow-up needed

### Response Time Benchmarks

Excellent: < 1 hour
Good: 1-3 hours
Acceptable: 3-6 hours (same day)
Delayed: 6-12 hours
Poor: > 12 hours or no response

### 🟢 Proactive

Responds quickly
Provides detailed updates
Anticipates questions
Asks for clarification when needed

### 🟡 Reactive

Responds when prompted
Basic updates provided
Needs follow-up questions

### 🔴 Non-Responsive

Delayed or no responses
Vague or incomplete updates
Requires multiple nudges

### 🚫 ALWAYS CONFIDENTIAL (Regardless of Config):

Performance comparisons between team members
Behavioral tracking notes
Response time metrics
Non-responder lists
Internal strategy discussions

### 💰 FINANCIAL INFO (Config-Dependent):

When finance_transparency: 0 (DEFAULT):
❌ DON'T share: Payment amounts, billing, revenue, budgets, client contracts

When finance_transparency: 1 (OPTIONAL):
✅ CAN share: Project budgets, payment milestones, scope constraints (when contextually relevant)
❌ STILL DON'T share: Individual rates, profit margins, full contracts, client's financials

### ✅ ALWAYS OK to Share:

Project requirements and technical details
Task assignments and deadlines
Team coordination information
General project status and priority
Technical support and guidance

### Example Daily Workflow

08:00 UTC - Send personalized status requests to 12 team members via Slack DMs

10:00 UTC - Check Slack responses:

2 responded → Ask for task IDs, update Obsidian
10 no response → Send mid-day reminder

14:00 UTC - Check again:

5 more responded → Follow up, update tracking
5 still pending → Note as delayed

17:00 UTC - EOD check:

8 total responded
4 non-responders → Send EOD reminder, flag for next day

18:00 UTC - Final tracking update:

Document response rates
Note behavioral patterns
Plan next day's approach
Keep all internal notes confidential

### Integration with Obsidian

Create this structure in your PKM:

# /root/life/pkm/daily-status/

## README.md
- Confidentiality rules
- Process guidelines
- Response benchmarks

## YYYY-MM-DD/
### TEAM STATUS - YYYY-MM-DD.md
Individual tracking per person:
- Response time
- Quality assessment
- Behavioral notes
- Project updates
- Action items

### SUMMARY.md
- Overall response rate
- Key observations
- Critical non-responders
- Next steps

### Slack API (via Maton Gateway)

# List users
curl -X GET "https://gateway.maton.ai/slack/api/users.list" \\
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY"

# Send DM
curl -X POST "https://gateway.maton.ai/slack/api/chat.postMessage" \\
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY" \\
  -d '{"channel": "USER_ID", "text": "Message"}'

# Get conversation history
curl -X GET "https://gateway.maton.ai/slack/api/conversations.history?channel=CHANNEL_ID" \\
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY"

### Obsidian Skills

Use the obsidian skill to create and update daily tracking notes automatically.

### Success Metrics

Response rate > 80% within 6 hours
Average response time < 3 hours
Clear task IDs and timelines provided
Blockers identified early
Proactive communication increasing over time

### Lessons Learned

Personalization matters: Generic messages get ignored, specific project questions get responses
Confidentiality is critical: Never share commercial/payment info with resources
Multiple nudges work: Mid-day + EOD reminders significantly improve response rates
Document behavior: Patterns emerge over time, useful for resource management
Private DMs only: Public status requests create comparison anxiety
Ask for specifics: "Making progress" is useless, "Task ID #123, 70% done, due Friday" is actionable
