I sometimes need to skip 1-on-1s — is that ok?
Skip up to 1 in 4. More than that signals deprioritization to your report. If you skip, Astra auto-reschedules within the same week and sends a personal note from you ('apologies, moved to Thursday — your update was solid this week, here's what I noticed'). She won't let one slip silently.
What if my report doesn't use GitHub or Linear?
She works with whatever signal you have. For non-engineering reports she pulls from Notion docs, Slack thread participation, calendar density, and customer interactions. Less precise than code data but the structure (wins / blockers / rotating topic) still works.
Can my reports see the agendas before the meeting?
Yes — recommended. She can share the Notion doc with the report 1 hour before so they can add their own topics. Two-way agendas make 1-on-1s 2-3x more productive. Default off (your agenda only); flip to two-way when you're ready.
What do you mean by 'rotating topic'?
Every 1-on-1 has 1 dedicated discussion beyond status: week 1 career growth (where do you want to be in 12mo, what skill are we building), week 2 mutual feedback (what should I do differently, what should you), week 3 blockers (org-level, not ticket-level), week 4 strategic context (where the company is going, what they need to know). Prevents the meeting from becoming a recurring status check.
