People and teams

People is where a workspace’s people and agents are listed together: who they are, the teams they are on, what they own and who they report to. Open it from People at the foot of the dock. Its sidebar has:

Page	Address	What it is
Everyone	g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/people	The directory of people and agents.
Teams	g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/teams	The workspace’s teams.
Org chart	g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/org-chart	Who reports to whom. See the org chart.
Members and invites	g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/members	Under Membership: roles, invitations and leaving. See members and invites.

Only members of the workspace can open these pages.

The directory

The directory, g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/people, lists people and agents in one place, with one search box.

1. Open People, then Everyone.
2. Type in Search by name, title, team or what they own.
3. Choose Everyone, People or Agents to narrow the list. Each shows how many it has.

The search matches:

	Matches on
A person	Name, username, title, teams, what they own, location and bio.
An agent	Name, handle, title, role, responsibilities and teams.

The address keeps what you chose, so you can share it: ?q=billing for the search, and ?kind=people or ?kind=agents for the switch.

Each card shows:

• the person’s picture with a dot for whether they are around, or the agent’s picture with a dot for its status;
• their name and title;
• their teams;
• their local time, from the time zone on their profile;
• what they own.

Org chart opens the org chart. Owners also see Invite people, which opens Members and invites.

A person’s profile

Choose someone in the directory to open their profile, g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/people/<username>. It shows their title, username, pronouns, whether they are around and their status, location and local time, their bio and what they own. Their name, pronouns, bio, location and time zone come from their account’s profile settings; their title and what they own are set for this workspace.

Card	What it shows
Teams	The teams they are on, with Lead or Maintainer beside each where it applies.
Reporting line	Who they report to, and who reports to them.
Agents on their teams	Every agent on the teams they are on.
Access	Code: their role on the workspace’s repositories, such as Admin on every repository, as an owner or Read on every repository, the workspace’s base permission, then any roles through teams, such as Roles on 3 repositories through Backend. Storage: coming. Agents’ spend for them this month, against their budget if they have one, shown to them and to owners.

Message opens your direct message with them in Chat.

Edit a profile

You can edit your own profile; owners can edit anyone’s.

1. Open the profile, g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/people/<username>.
2. Choose Edit profile.
3. Change what you need, and save.

Field	Who sets it	Limits
Title	The person, or an owner	Their job here, such as Staff Engineer. Up to 80 characters.
What they own	The person, or an owner	One per line: a product, a process, an account. Up to 8, each up to 60 characters. Repeats are left out.
Reports to	Owners only	Another member of the workspace, or no one. Never themselves, and never someone who already reports to them, directly or through others.

What you set here is shown in the directory and told to the agents on their teams (see what agents are told). Each change is recorded in the workspace’s audit log as member.profile_edited.

When someone leaves the workspace, anyone who reported to them reports to no one, and any team they led has no lead.

An agent’s profile

Each agent has a People profile too, g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/people/agents/<handle>, with its title, handle and status.

Card	What it shows
Responsible for	Its responsibilities, from its profile.
Teams	The teams it is on, with Lead where it leads one. Owners and a team’s maintainers choose Remove beside a team they manage, or a team and Add to team, as on the team’s page. A personal agent is on no team.
Who it works with	The people on its teams, leads first.
Agents on its teams	The other agents on those teams.
Access	Code: what the person who asks it can read, and only what everyone in the conversation can see. Storage: coming. What it spent this month of its monthly budget.
What agent knows about its teams	The exact text it is told every turn. See what agents are told.

Message opens your direct message with it. Sessions and settings opens its page in Agents.

Teams of any mix

A team can be people and agents together, people only, or agents only. A team’s page says which, with its lead, its channel, its roles on repositories and its budget for its agents. The Teams list shows a small mark for each, and counts such as 2 members · 1 agent · 1 repository.

	Where
Add or remove an agent	The team’s People and agents tab, or Teams on the agent’s profile. See agents on a team.
Set the lead, channel and budget	The team’s Settings. See lead, channel and budget.
Storage for a team	Coming.

The org chart

The org chart, g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/org-chart, draws the reporting lines as a tree: each person, with the people who report to them below. Beside each person are the agents of the teams they lead.

Under Teams no person leads are the teams led by an agent or by no one, each with its agents.

Until someone has a manager, the page says so. Owners set who each person reports to with Edit profile on that person’s profile (see edit a profile).

What agents are told

Every time an agent replies, and at every step of a session, it is told about each visible team it is on, under Your teams. It is never told about a secret team.

For each team, it is told:

1. The team’s description, who leads it, its channel and its shared budget for agents.
2. Each person on it: name and username, title, whether they are the lead or a maintainer, what they own, who they report to, how they show right now, and their local time.
3. Each agent on it, with you for itself.
4. When a person is needed: who to ask.

How a person shows right now is one of:

Shows as	When
online	They have g1t open and are active.
away	Every g1t tab they have open is idle, or they set themselves away.
focusing, in Do Not Disturb until a time their time	They turned on Do Not Disturb.
offline	They have no g1t tab open.

Their status, if they set one, follows. If g1t can’t read who is around, it says nothing about it: nobody is called offline, and no one is named under When a person is needed.

When a person is needed names the team’s lead if they are online and not in Do Not Disturb; otherwise a maintainer who is; otherwise anyone on the team who is. When no one can be reached, the agent is told to post in the team’s channel, if it has one, and say they’ll see it when they’re back.

Agents are also told to ask the person who owns something before guessing, and to hold questions that aren’t urgent for someone who is focusing or away, and say so. Being told about a team doesn’t change who reads an agent’s answer: only the members of the conversation do. See who is in the conversation.

You can read what an agent is told:

• on its People profile, under What agent knows about its teams;
• on a team’s People and agents tab, under What the agents on team know about it, for that team’s part.

An example

What Margo, an agent on the Billing team, is told:

## Your teams

From your teams' pages, and how people show right now. Use it to know who leads, who owns what and who to ask or hand work to. It doesn't change who is in this conversation: anyone not listed there still doesn't read what you say here.

- Ask the person who owns something before guessing. Hold non-urgent questions for someone focusing or away, and say so.

### Billing

Payments, invoices and the billing pages. Led by Priya Shah (@priya). Its channel is #billing. Its agents share a budget of $150.00 a month.

- Priya Shah (@priya); Engineering Manager, the lead, a maintainer; owns Stripe, Invoices; reports to @dana (online, 14:05 their time)
- Leo Park (@leo); Staff Engineer; owns Refunds; reports to @priya (focusing, in Do Not Disturb until 16:00 their time, 22:05 their time)
- @margo: you
- @sam (Sam), an agent: Support Specialist

When a person is needed: Priya Shah (@priya), who is online now.
