attention.json

The team's rules for ranking and interruptions, committed in .teamtrail/attention.json.

Without the file, the defaults apply. Personal choices (channel, quiet hours) live elsewhere: see Personal settings.

#Example

json

{
  "v": 1,
  "interrupt": 70,
  "digestMinutes": 120,
  "weights": {
    "knowledge": 20,
    "policy": 70
  }
}

#Keys

Key	Type	Default
`v`	`1`	required	File format version.
`interrupt`	number 0–200	`70`	Items scoring at or above this notify actively; the rest wait in the list and the digest.
`digestMinutes`	minutes 0–10080	`60`	How often Slack sends each trail's digest of non-urgent items, re-read live; `0` turns it off.
`weights`	object of kind → 0–100	see below	How much each kind counts. Kinds you leave out keep their default.

#Default weights

Kind	Weight	Kind	Weight
`question`	60	`integration`	45
`blocked`	60	`stalled`	40
`reroute`	60	`overlap`	40
`brief`	55	`hitl-ready`	35
`approval`	50	`flag`	35
`policy`	50	`reroute-suggested`	30
		`knowledge`	15

An item's score starts at half its kind's weight, then adds urgency, held tickets, an idle agent and age. With the defaults, a blocking question with an idle agent scores exactly 70, so it interrupts. See Waiting on you for the full rules.

#Errors

A broken attention.json never stops the list: each bad value falls back to its default, and every problem is shown in Settings → Attention. (policy.json also falls back, to its strict defaults; verification.json doesn't, because running no checks would let unchecked work through.)
