cobik

Balance people's workload in cobik — see who is free, who is overloaded, and move work to even it out. Use when the user asks "who's free", "is someone overloaded", "rebalance the workload", "spread this out", "can we take on more", or "who should do this". Load together with `cobik-use`. For a status readout use `cobik-status`; for date-shifting and general board upkeep use `cobik-triage`.

Build a cobik-ready `.xlsx` import file — for planning offline, or when NO cobik connector (MCP) is available. Use when the user asks for a file, has no live cobik tools, or wants to prepare tasks to upload and approve in the app's Import preview. Covers the exact import-file contract (columns, rules) so the file loads cleanly. If the cobik connector IS available, prefer working live — load `cobik-use` (and `cobik-plan` for planning from a brief) instead of making a file.

Plan or simulate a cobik project, pitch, or phase end-to-end — turn a brief into stages, sequenced tasks, realistic estimates, and assignments. Use when the user says things like "plan a 3-week pitch", "draft the tasks for this project", "break this brief into work", or "set up a new phase". Load together with `cobik-use` (the connector fundamentals). Works live through the connector by default; if no connector is available or the user wants a file, hand off to `cobik-import`.

Report the health and status of cobik work — a weekly readout, a project check-up, or a portfolio pulse. Use when the user asks "how are we doing", "status this week", "is this project on track", "what's at risk", "who's overloaded", or wants delivery / win-rate trends. Read-only: it produces a readout, not changes. Load together with `cobik-use`. To act on what you find, hand off to `cobik-triage` (fix the board) or `cobik-allocation` (rebalance people).

Maintain an existing cobik board and respond to change — bulk status updates, renames, shifting dates when a deadline moves, reassigning a departing person's work, reordering or merging stages, and restoring deleted items from trash. Use when the user says "the deadline moved, shift everything", "rename all X to Y", "reassign someone's tasks", "clean up the board", "merge these stages", or "restore that deleted task". Load together with `cobik-use`. For planning a NEW project from scratch use `cobik-plan`; for capacity rebalancing use `cobik-allocation`.

Foundational guide for operating the cobik project-management connector (MCP) — how to read and act on the team's live projects, stages, and tasks correctly. Load this FIRST before any cobik connector work. Use when the user asks to view, plan, create, update, assign, reassign, or analyze work in cobik AND the cobik tools (list_projects, create_task, assign_task, …) are available. For end-to-end planning from a brief, also load `cobik-plan`. When NO connector is available (build an .xlsx import file instead), use `cobik-import`.
