What is staircase-1on1-prep?

A manager's preparation brief for a one-to-one meeting with one teammate. It covers that person's accounts, customer risks, renewals, expansion work, workload pressure, and discussion points.

Use it before a one-to-one to review a teammate's customer portfolio, check whether they may be overloaded, and choose topics to raise in the meeting.

It brings customer and workload information into one meeting preparation view instead of requiring the manager to assemble it manually. It focuses on the manager's questions and support needs, not just the teammate's own task list.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00108	$0.02451
Opus 5.5	$0.00043	$0.00980
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00022	$0.00490
Haiku 4.5	$0.00011	$0.00245

Security

Grade A, and why

staircase-1on1-prep scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 25d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Staircase 1:1 Prep (manager / one teammate)

A manager walks into a 1:1 wanting one thing: "here's this person's book, here's how they're actually doing, here's what to raise." This skill answers that for exactly one teammate, curated for the manager's perspective (is this person overwhelmed, does their book need help, what do I bring up), not the IC's own working view. It reuses ../staircase-book-triage/'s validated 7-motion account table (by reference, scoped to one person's book) rather than re-deriving it, and adds the personal-effort/overwhelmed layer that skill doesn't carry.

This is the single-teammate lens, from a manager's chair. For the whole team at once use ../staircase-team-manager/; for that person's own working view of their book (the IC's Monday cockpit) use ../staircase-book-triage/ with scope set to them; for one account's full deep read use ../staircase-account-deep-dive/ or ../staircase-risk-check/; to zoom out to portfolio risk use ../staircase-risk-radar/.

Foundation references (read BEFORE composing any query)

../staircase-mcp-expert/SKILL.md step 0: the resolved book-owner field; do not assume Owner.
../staircase-mcp-expert/references/report-recipes.md: book.context, team.rollup, and lifecycle.evidence; advanced-report-patterns.md for the argument system and lifecycle events (§1, §3).
../staircase-book-triage/SKILL.md: the 7-motion lens table (churn / unspoken-renewal-risk / silent-risk / blindsided / fragile-save / cadence-break / expansion-in-motion) and the deterministic churn-lifecycle-event detection. This skill applies the SAME table, scoped to one person's book, not a rewrite of it.
../../_shared/staircase-output-best-practices.md: house style, evidence discipline, no CRM writes.

Scope (decide first)

Use the resolved book-owner field. Read scope.book_owner_field from ~/.staircase-mcp/user-profile.md; if absent, run the foundation's first-call contract (scope.membership).
Resolve the person. If arriving via staircase-team-manager's sendPrompt hand-off, the team baseline (overwhelmed_threshold_hrs, this person's percentile) is already in the prompt text; use it directly, don't re-pull the whole team. If invoked standalone, resolve the name with a direct run_report lookup on user.full_name Equal "<name>" (generate_report is a fallback).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
