Build a first-week plan for a new hire

Claude drafts a first week from the role, the tools, and the one outcome you want by Friday.

Five days, each with a task, a person to meet, and something the new hire can show.

1. 1

   Name the Friday outcome

   One sentence. If you cannot name it, the plan will fill the week with orientation.

2. 2

   Insert real people

   Replace every blank with a person who agreed to the conversation.

3. 3

   Hand it over before day one

   Send the plan with the accounts they will need. The plan is not the access.

Draft a first-week plan for a new hire.

Role: [title]
Team: [what the team does]
Tools they will touch: [list]
Outcome I want by Friday: [one sentence]
People they should meet: [names and why, or "I will fill names"]

For each weekday give:
- One task that produces something visible
- One person to talk to, and the question to ask them
- What "done" looks like that day

Do not schedule more than three hours of meetings in a day. Do not invent company rituals, software, or a manager I did not name. Leave blanks where I owe a name.

A plan that depends on tools they cannot log into is a stall. Check access first.
