This defines: - Framework dimensions and sub-dimensions - Rating scale - Promotion readiness labels (if tracked) - Review cadence If `manager-context/performance-framework.md` doesn't exist, ask the manager to run `/setup` first. ## Instructions If any MCP connector is unavailable, follow the connector unavailability protocol in `references/operating-principles.md`. ### 1.
