Here's how a week gets built now. The assistant drafts it from the time off you already approved plus your standing rulebook. You read the draft and change only the slots you'd have done differently. Then you publish. This page walks that through on one real week — Sunday Nov 1 to Saturday Nov 7, 2026 — and nothing here touches the real schedule.
From your approved time off and the standing rules — not from guesswork.
Skim the week, override the exceptions, flag anything that's a real problem.
The week goes out under your name, with a record of what you changed.
These names are inputs, not options. The assistant reads them and works forward from there.
Grey is already staffed. Everything marked open is still empty — nothing has been decided yet.
Nothing on this screen came from the assistant. It's your own approved data, read back to you, so you can see what the draft will be standing on.
Your rulebook holds 27 standing rules. Most of them don't come up on these seven days. These are the ones that actually bind Nov 1–7, in plain English, with what each one means for this particular week.
These come from your rulebook — change them there, not here. Whatever the rulebook says on the day you press draft is what the assistant will obey.
You've seen the inputs and you've seen the rules. Now hand it the week. It fills every open slot in one pass and shows you its reason for each pick — you don't type anything.
Roles down the side, the seven days across — the same shape as your spreadsheet, and the whole week stays on screen while you work. Every open slot carries the assistant's pick with its reason underneath. Sunday Nov 1 stays grey; it came in already staffed. Anything you don't touch counts as kept.
Keyboard: arrow keys move between slots, Enter opens that slot's other options, Escape closes it again. Nothing here is permanent — every single thing can be undone.
This week took you —, from asking for the draft to landing here. minutes — fill that in if you know it. I'm not going to invent a number for you.
This is where you'd hit Publish in the hub. The week goes out under your name, the attendings see it on their phones, and the record below says exactly what you kept and what you overrode.
This is a receipt, not a second way of working — the wizard above is how weeks get built from now on. But if you already filled Nov 1–7 by hand, drop the file in and I'll line your picks up against the assistant's. Excel (.xlsx), CSV, or the hub's saved .json all work, including your old Cooper year-worksheet layout.
