-## Goal - -Turn the managed-people list into a small, searchable database inside Emacs. -The setup should make it easy to: - -- look up a person quickly by name -- see role and engagement type at a glance -- filter the roster by manager, role, or employment type -- keep notes and follow-ups close to the record -- avoid duplicating the same information across multiple files - -## Recommendation - -Use a single Org file as the source of truth and layer completion plus search on top of it. - -Recommended stack: - -- `org-mode` for storage -- `consult` for fast lookup -- `corfu` or `completion-at-point` for inline name completion when typing inside notes -- `embark` for actions on a selected person -- `org-ql` for filtered views and reports - -This keeps the data editable in plain text while still making it queryable and useful as a working tool. - -## Data Model - -Store one person per Org heading in `~/org/areas/people/roster.org`. - -Suggested properties: - -- `NAME` -- `ROLE` -- `ENGAGEMENT` with values such as `permanent`, `sow`, or `other` -- `TEAM` -- `MANAGER` -- `EMAIL` -- `LOCATION` -- `NOTES` - -Example: - -```org -* Ajay Shirke -:PROPERTIES: -:NAME: Ajay Shirke -:ROLE: Engineering Manager -:ENGAGEMENT: permanent -:TEAM: Platform -:MANAGER: You -:EMAIL: ajay@example.com -:END: - -Current context, follow-ups, or other notes go here. -``` - -## Lookup Workflow - -Add a command that prompts for a person and opens their entry. - -Typical flow: - -1. `M-x ss/people-find` -2. type a name, role, or partial string -3. preview matching entries -4. open the selected person - -The lookup command should display useful summary text in the completion UI, such as: - -- full name -- role -- engagement type -- team - -That makes the list useful even before opening the record. - -## Inline Completion - -Use Corfu only for in-buffer completion when typing names in notes, tasks, or meeting logs. - -The CAPF should: - -- trigger on word boundaries -- offer canonical names from the roster -- annotate candidates with role and engagement type -- stay read-only and avoid changing the buffer - -This is a narrow use of completion: it helps insert a person’s name without turning the completion layer into the database itself. - -## Actions - -Use Embark-style actions on a selected person so lookup is not a dead end. - -Useful actions: - -- open the person’s Org entry -- copy a short summary -- insert the name into the current buffer -- insert a formatted roster card -- jump to related notes or follow-ups - -This makes completion a launcher for common manager tasks. - -## Reports - -Use `org-ql` or equivalent Org searches for views that answer manager questions. - -Useful reports: - -- all `permanent` people -- all `sow` people -- people grouped by role -- people grouped by manager -- people with notes older than a threshold - -These reports should be generated from the same Org file rather than maintained separately. - -## File Layout - -Planned files: - -- `config.org` - - adds the lookup commands, completion functions, and report helpers -- `~/org/areas/people/roster.org` - - stores the roster entries - -Optional later additions, only if needed: - -- `~/org/areas/people/notes/` - - supporting notes for long-lived context - -## Trade-offs - -Why this approach: - -- one source of truth -- plain-text editing -- easy search and filtering -- works well with existing Org habits - -What it avoids: - -- a separate database format to learn -- duplicated JSON or Lisp data files -- maintaining one file for lookup and another for reporting - -## Next Step - -Implement the roster helpers in `config.org`, then add the first few people entries to `~/org/areas/people/roster.org`. |
