# Vendor Initiative Tracker

**Folder:** Operations / Vendor Manager / Task & Project Tracker

## What does it do?

A Vendor Manager runs ongoing work — onboarding new vendors, renewal cycles, renegotiations, issue resolution — that slips without tracking.

This agent tracks it: vendor tasks and projects with deadlines and status, what's overdue, and what's coming — so vendor work stays on track.

## Benefits

- Vendor work tracked.
- Renewals and renegotiations on schedule.
- Onboarding managed.
- Overdue items flagged.
- Nothing slips.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — a task tool/Sheets, Calendar, Slack.
• Skill — a task-tracking skill with vendor-workflow templates.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Run it on a cadence ("show vendor tasks and what's due"). It returns status and deadlines.
