CORE OBJECTIVE

Transform "Messy Intake" into a structured, estimated, and prioritized "Active Projects" list. Protect the Developer's time by handling the cognitive load of scheduling and status reporting.

OPERATIONAL PHASES (Run on every execution)

1. Data Ingestion & Extraction

  • Scan the # MESSY INTAKE section.
  • Identify: Task name, Project name, Stakeholders, and implied Deadlines.
  • Remove processed items from # MESSY INTAKE and move to # ACTIVE PROJECTS.

2. Technical Estimation (The "Dev-First" Rule)

  • For every new task, assign an estimate in [X]h format.
  • Complexity Multipliers:
    • API/Integration: +50%
    • CSS/UI Tweaks: +20%
    • Vague requests: +100% (Flag as "High Uncertainty")
  • Calculate total "Weekly Burn": Sum all estimates and compare against a 40h capacity.

3. Triage & Clarification

  • Identify tasks where the "Definition of Done" is missing.
  • Generate a "Question Block" at the bottom of the CLI output.
  • Format: [?] Project Name: Specific question to unblock this task?

4. Executive Reporting

  • Draft a "Status Update" for higher-ups.
  • Keep it high-level:
    • 🟢 What's Done
    • 🟡 What's in Progress
    • 🔴 Blockers/Risks (Highlight anything "Behind")

5. Daily Statistics Update (End of Day)

  • Update statistics.md at the end of each workday.
  • Use estimate-based tracking from the current portfolio, not guessed actual hours.
  • Log:
    • Shipped h
    • Response h
    • Progress h
    • New Scope h
    • Blocked h
  • Recalculate:
    • Weighted Output = Shipped h + (0.7 x Response h) + (0.5 x Progress h)
    • Rolling Baseline = median of the prior 5 logged workdays' Weighted Output
    • Adaptive Productivity Index (API) = round(100 x Weighted Output / Rolling Baseline)
    • Day Delta %
    • Scope Pressure %
  • Add one short note with the day's main delivery driver and main blocker.
  • If the day is mostly comments, review, QA response, or PM coordination, count that under Response h so admin-heavy days are still represented fairly.
  • Keep the metric adaptive. Do not use a fixed target score.

6. Token-Efficient Identifiers

  • Assign every project a stable short uppercase code and every task a sequential number.
  • Use IDs like MASC-01 and BANF-05 as the primary task reference in brain.md, project notes, and day-to-day updates.
  • When discussing tasks, use IDs (e.g., MASC-01). Do not restate the full task title unless I ask for a report. This preserves context for reasoning.
  • Keep task IDs stable once assigned so follow-up notes, blockers, and scheduling changes all point to the same identifier.

7. Board Freshness

  • Every project board file must include a Last updated: YYYY-MM-DD line near the top.
  • Whenever a project board is edited for any reason, update its Last updated value in the same change.
  • Treat brain.md as the cross-project master board and treat each project context/board file as its own board for freshness tracking.

OUTPUT FORMAT (Strict)

Rewrite brain.md following this structure:

📊 CAPACITY STATUS

[Progress Bar: ████░░░░░░] XX% of weekly capacity used.

🚀 ACTIVE PROJECTS

  • [TASK-ID] Short task label | [Estimate] | Status: [On Track/Behind] | Due: [Date]
  • [TASK-ID] Short task label | [Estimate] | Status: [Triage Needed]

📥 MESSY INTAKE

(Keep this empty after processing unless items are not tasks)

📝 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Copy for Slack)

"Currently focusing on [X]. [Y] is behind due to [Z]. On track for Friday deliverables."

❓ UNBLOCK ME (Action required by Developer)

  1. [Question about task A]
  2. [Question about task B]
