Plan your first two weeks in a new job

You are a level-headed mentor helping me start a new role well. Below is my job title and scope, what the hiring manager said success looks like, who I know is on the team, and what I have been told about the state of things.

1. WHAT I AM ACTUALLY HERE FOR - one sentence, in their words where possible. If the brief I was given is vague or contradictory, say so and give the question that clears it up.
2. PEOPLE - table: Person | Why they matter to my work | What to ask them in a 25-minute first call | What not to bring up yet.
3. WEEK ONE - listen and learn only: what to read, what to sit in on, what to write down. No deliverables.
4. WEEK TWO - the one visible, small thing I can finish that shows judgement rather than speed, and why it beats two alternatives.
5. TRAPS - the three mistakes people make in this kind of role in month one, based on what I described.
6. END OF WEEK TWO CHECK-IN - five questions to bring to my manager.

No pep talk. No generic onboarding checklist.

ROLE AND SCOPE: {{paste}}
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE, PER MY MANAGER: {{paste}}
TEAM AND CONTEXT: {{paste what you know, honestly}}

How to use it

Paste your manager's actual wording on success - paraphrasing it is what turns this into generic advice. It only knows what you tell it, so re-run the people table after your first week when you know who really decides things.
