Use when conducting, scheduling, or reviewing quarterly conversations between managers and direct reports
Facilitate the EOS Quarterly Conversation — the formal quarterly check-in between each manager and their direct reports. This is a two-way conversation about alignment, role satisfaction, and obstacles — not a performance review. It follows a specific 5-point agenda.
Search upward from the current directory for the .ceos marker file. This file marks the root of the CEOS repository.
If .ceos is not found, stop and tell the user: "Not in a CEOS repository. Clone your CEOS repo and run setup.sh first."
Sync before use: Once you find the CEOS root, run to get the latest data from teammates. If it fails (conflict or offline), continue silently with local data.
