Sustain

Establish the ongoing leadership rituals for "$ARGUMENTS". Define the recurring processes that keep the team healthy, aligned, and growing.

Arguments. $ARGUMENTS may contain the project name and optional flags. Take the first token as <project> and treat --skip-checks as a flag; never include flags in file paths. All paths below use <project>. If --skip-checks is present, skip the prerequisite check and, before writing any artifact, append one line to .metapowers/leadership/<project>/skip-log.md: - <ISO timestamp> — <skill name> skipped prerequisite check for <artifact file> — reason: <reason or "none given">.

Prerequisites

Read all prior artifacts. If .metapowers/leadership/<project>/04-develop.md does not exist, tell the user:

Phase 4 (Develop) has not been completed for "<project>". Run /leadership:develop <project> first, or use --skip-checks to bypass.

Process

1. Read all prior artifacts:

   • Read .metapowers/leadership/<project>/01-assess.md through 04-develop.md
   • Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/one-on-one-template.md
   • Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/cfr-model.md

2. Define recurring rituals:

   • Weekly: 1:1s (using template), team standup/sync
   • Biweekly: Team retrospective
   • Monthly: CFR review, skip-level meetings
   • Quarterly: OKR review and reset, team health check
   • For each ritual: purpose, format, duration, participants

3. Create a leader's playbook:

   • How to handle common situations: underperformance, conflict, burnout, new hire onboarding
   • When to escalate vs. handle yourself
   • How to maintain your own energy and avoid burnout

4. Define health metrics:

   • How will you know the team is healthy? (engagement, velocity, retention, satisfaction)
   • Warning signs to watch for
   • When to revisit earlier phases (re-assess, update vision)

5. Write the artifact to .metapowers/leadership/<project>/05-sustain.md with sections:

   • Ritual Calendar — all recurring meetings with cadence and format
   • Leader's Playbook — common situations and responses
   • Health Metrics — what to monitor and warning signs
   • Renewal Triggers — when to revisit assess/vision/build/develop

Output

The sustainability plan written to .metapowers/leadership/<project>/05-sustain.md. Present a summary highlighting:

• Ritual calendar overview
• Key health metrics
• Top playbook entries
