People
Published by rolznz in sovereign-brain-skills
What this skill does
Track the people the user could collaborate with — potential partners, clients, hires, or allies — focused on the opportunity to work together and the next step to advance it. Use when the user meets or mentions someone with collaboration potential, or wants to think through how to work with someone. Not a log of everyone they meet. Saves one file per person in the people/ folder.

People
Track the people worth building something with, one file per person, in the people/
folder of the brain. This is outcome-oriented: the point is the opportunity to
collaborate and the next step — not a contact log of everyone the user meets.
When to use
The user meets or mentions someone with real collaboration potential — a possible partner, client, hire, or ally — or wants to think through how to work with someone. If there's no plausible reason to work together, it probably doesn't belong here.
Where to write
people/<slug>.md (create the folder if missing). <slug> is a short kebab-case
version of the name, e.g. people/jane-doe.md.
Format
# [Name]
- **What they do:** role / company / what they're building
- **Opportunity:** how you could collaborate or create value together
- **Status:** idea / talking / active / parked
- **Next step:** the one concrete move to advance it
## Notes
- <dated notes, newest at top>
Rules
- Lead with the opportunity and the next step. If neither is real, don't add the file.
- Keep the Next step concrete and current; time-sensitive ones also belong in
todos(orupcoming-eventsif dated). - Update Status as the collaboration moves or stalls.
