Genchi

Explain how to connect a Slack workspace to Genchi, and report whether one is already connected. Genchi delivers the two-second check-in inside Slack, so connecting a workspace is what makes the product work day to day. The connection itself has to be completed in a browser because Slack requires its own permission grant. Use this when someone asks how to set up Slack or why they are not receiving check-ins.

genchi_connect_slack

Create a new initiative in Genchi with this person as its Owner. An initiative is a named piece of work that a team casts a two-second check-in against each week. The initiative starts with a weekly Friday check-in cadence and no other team members — they are added afterwards in the Genchi web app. Use this when someone explicitly asks to create or set up a new initiative.

genchi_create_initiative

Get the current anonymous confidence signal and its trend for ONE initiative — early warning before status turns red. Renders Genchi's live confidence chart with the team check-in row and current blockers. Returns the team's aggregate confidence, the trend over recent check-ins, how many people have checked in, and the names of its parent and direct children. Individual votes are never attributed to a person. Use this for questions about a single initiative: "how is the payments migration tracking", "is anything slipping", "why is confidence dropping". For questions about the work BENEATH an initiative, or spanning several initiatives, use genchi_list_initiatives instead — it draws the tree.

genchi_get_confidence

Get the blockers currently raised against one initiative in Genchi. Blockers are comments a team member has flagged as blocking, and unlike confidence check-ins they are attributed to the person who raised them. Use this for questions like "what is blocking the migration" or "why is confidence dropping".

genchi_get_blockers

Get the weekly summary for one initiative in Genchi: the team's current anonymous confidence signal compared with last week, the recent trend, and any blockers raised in the past seven days. This is the same summary the Owner receives each Friday. Use it for questions like "what changed this week" or "give me the weekly update".

genchi_get_weekly_summary

List the initiatives this person can see in Genchi, with the current anonymous confidence signal for each. Initiatives can nest: the "Part of" column names the parent initiative where there is one, so a programme and the work beneath it appear in the same list. Use this to answer questions like "what am I tracking" or "how are my projects doing". Pass initiative_name when someone asks about the work beneath a particular initiative — "what's happening under the platform programme", "break down Infrastructure Modernisation", "show me the tree for that", "what's in there". The display then opens on that initiative and everything below it, drawn as a tree, and the full list is still returned.
