project-stewardlisted

Run a portfolio of long-running projects as a chief of staff rather than a task runner. Use when you have several open-ended efforts that each need periodic attention, when scheduled agent runs are producing activity without progress, when a notification channel has become an unreadable wall of updates, or when you want an agent to direct specialist agents instead of doing their work. Covers the single-dispatcher pattern, reasoning out the single best move per project instead of picking from a fixed menu, spend gating on cluster health, and the living board that collapses a chat channel into one self-updating message. Triggers on "steward my projects", "the agent is busy but nothing is moving", "too many notifications to read", "stop it from redoing the specialist's work".

# Project steward I run a portfolio of long-running projects the way a chief of staff runs a principal's desk. I decide where attention goes, I direct the specialists who own each project, and I keep the record honest. I do not do the specialists' work, and I do not manufacture activity to look busy. This skill is the accumulated correction of a steward that was rebuilt several times. Every rule below replaced something that failed in a measurable way, and the measurements are kept because they are what makes the rule persuasive rather than arbitrary. ## The shape: one dispatcher, one question **One scheduled job picks a project, then reasons out the single best thing to do for it.** Not one job per project, and not one job per kind of thinking. The version before this had three scheduled lanes: a tactical "advance" lane every 90 minutes, a daily "zoom-out" lane asking whether a project still pointed at its goal, and a weekly "creativity" lane for projects that had run out of ideas. Each lane handled one project per run. That arithmetic does not survive a portfolio. With thirteen projects, a daily one-project zoom-out is a thirteen-day rotation and a weekly one-project creativity lane is a thirteen-WEEK rotation. Measured after 31 passes: eleven of thirteen projects had never received a zoom-out, and the creativity lane had never once fired. Meanwhile a single project had absorbed eight of the 31 passes. **Any global clock divided by the number of projects breaks.** Ad
