## Prompt

```text
Help me set expectations with my new manager after moving teams internally. This is step 5 of my internal move plan; it can use the 30-60-90 view I prepared in step 3.

**New role and manager:** [DETAILS]
**What I bring from my old team:** [SKILLS, relationships, context]
**What I still need to learn:** [DETAILS]
**Ongoing commitments to my old team:** [e.g. "answering questions for 4 weeks"]
**Career goals I want this move to serve:** [e.g. "path to team lead within 2 years"]

Give me:
1. An agenda for our first 1:1 (30-45 minutes).
2. Questions that surface expectations: what success looks like at 30, 90, and 180 days; their communication preferences; how they like to receive bad news; decision rights.
3. A short working agreement I can draft and share after the meeting: goals, check-in rhythm, how we'll handle priorities that clash.
4. How to discuss my remaining commitments to my old team transparently.
5. A way to bring up my longer-term goals early, so my development is part of the plan.
6. A simple tracker for the first 90 days: goal | progress | blockers | feedback received.
```
