The four heights
The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task
+I need to acknowledge Jenna's status update about the deploy failing without creating noise. React to her message in #deployments with the raised-hand emoji so she knows I saw it and will follow up.

+I read Jenna's failed deploy update and hesitated over which emoji to use
Jenna posted that the staging deploy failed at 10:12 with a DB migration error and asked if anyone can help.

Become — change the pattern
+I keep reacting to messages in ways colleagues misread
Across the last month I’ve used thumbs-up, eyes, and raised-hand inconsistently on incident posts and people either assume I’m owning work or ignoring it. Which simple reaction habit should I adopt to avoid mixed signals, and how do I tell the team I’m changing it?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
