em-coaching v0.5.0 People

Coaches the engineering manager on their own craft as a weekly development program. Distinct from em-people-management - that plugin develops your reports; this one grades how you run the work.

Problem it solves: an EM gets no structured feedback on how well they run their own 1:1s. This grades the manager's conduct deterministically against best-practice frameworks, tracks development goals over time, and turns "how am I doing on 1:1s" into an evidence-backed scorecard.

em-1on1-coachUser skillMedium · ~20-80k

Reads a week of already-logged 1:1 sessions plus their transcripts, grades the EM's own conduct (coverage of the 8 dimensions, talk-time, ask-vs-tell, upward-feedback solicitation, prior-item follow-through) with deterministic arithmetic, compares against prior weeks, scores development goals, runs a micro-experiment loop, writes a private Coaching Log row, renders an HTML scorecard, and writes a one-line Next 1:1 Focus onto each report's latest session record. Grades the manager, never the report.

Reference - what it brings, its process, and what it needs
BringsA reproducible 0-100 practice grade with the evidence behind every figure, week-over-week trends and streaks, goal scoring, and a polished HTML scorecard - so 1:1 craft becomes a tracked development program, not a vibe.
Process
  1. Gather: the window's 1:1 sessions + their transcripts.
  2. Extract: per-session conduct flags, each with verbatim evidence.
  3. Grade: fixed arithmetic -> practice grade + band; read history for trends, streaks, month rollup.
  4. Coach: score goals, assign a micro-experiment, write Next 1:1 Focus, log the row + render the scorecard.

em-conflict-coachUser skillMedium · ~20-80k

em-facilitation-coachUser skillMedium · ~20-80k

Grades how the EM facilitated a single agile ceremony or team meeting (standup, retro, planning, review) - reads the transcript, isolates the EM's facilitation moves and non-EM speaker distribution, and scores the 7-dimension facilitation rubric with mandatory verbatim evidence. Grades mechanics, never meeting substance.

Reference - what it brings, its process, and what it needs
BringsA deterministic read on the EM's own ceremony craft, pairs with sprint-audit's outcome grading rather than duplicating it.
Process
  1. Pull the ceremony transcript.
  2. Isolate the EM's turns and speaker distribution.
  3. Score each of the 7 dimensions with verbatim evidence.
  4. Write ONE scorecard row via em_db.coaching_evaluations.create.

em-feedback-coachUser skillMedium · ~20-80k

Grades the feedback the EM delivered in a single 1:1 - reads the transcript, isolates the EM's own spoken turns, and scores delivery deterministically against the 8-dimension feedback rubric with mandatory verbatim evidence. Grades craft, never the teammate; does not draft the feedback (that's em-feedback-builder).

Reference - what it brings, its process, and what it needs
BringsAn objective read on how well feedback actually landed in the room, distinct from whether it later got written down.
Process
  1. Pull the 1:1 transcript where feedback was delivered.
  2. Isolate the EM's spoken turns.
  3. Score each of the 8 dimensions with verbatim evidence.
  4. Write ONE scorecard row via em_db.coaching_evaluations.create.

em-interviewing-coachUser skillMedium · ~20-80k

Grades how the EM ran a single hiring interview - reads the transcript, isolates the EM's own spoken turns (using candidate airtime as evidence), and scores conduct deterministically against the 7-dimension interviewing rubric with mandatory verbatim evidence. Grades the interviewer's craft, never the candidate.

Reference - what it brings, its process, and what it needs
BringsDelivery-side interviewing-quality feedback for the EM - the EM doesn't own the hiring funnel, but does own how well they ran their part of it.
Process
  1. Pull the interview transcript.
  2. Isolate the EM's turns; use candidate airtime as evidence.
  3. Score each of the 7 dimensions with verbatim evidence.
  4. Write ONE scorecard row via em_db.coaching_evaluations.create.

em-offboarding-coachUser skillMedium · ~20-80k

Grades how the EM ran a single live offboarding / exit / role-transition conversation - reads the transcript, isolates the EM's own spoken turns, and scores conduct deterministically against the 7-dimension offboarding rubric with mandatory verbatim evidence. Grades the manager's craft, never the departing person.

Reference - what it brings, its process, and what it needs
BringsAn evidence-backed read on how well a hard, high-stakes conversation was actually run, not just whether the closure steps got done.
Process
  1. Pull the transition-conversation transcript.
  2. Isolate the EM's spoken turns.
  3. Score each of the 7 dimensions with verbatim evidence.
  4. Write ONE scorecard row via em_db.coaching_evaluations.create.

Grades how the EM ran a single new-hire onboarding / 30-60-90 kickoff conversation - reads the transcript, isolates the EM's own turns (plus the new hire's where the rubric needs them), and scores facilitation deterministically against the 8-dimension onboarding rubric with mandatory verbatim evidence.

Reference - what it brings, its process, and what it needs
BringsA grounded read on kickoff facilitation quality, distinct from the plan itself - pairs with em-onboarding-plan-builder rather than duplicating it.
Process
  1. Pull the manager-led kickoff transcript.
  2. Isolate the EM's turns (plus the new hire's where needed).
  3. Score each of the 8 dimensions with verbatim evidence.
  4. Write ONE scorecard row via em_db.coaching_evaluations.create.

Reference - what it brings, its process, and what it needs
BringsAn evidence-backed read on stakeholder-facing delivery craft, tracked over time instead of relying on post-meeting gut feel.
Process
  1. Pull the presentation transcript (including Q&A).
  2. Isolate the EM's turns from the audience's.
