SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It turns scattered journal data, week context, and recent trends into a focused morning briefing that helps you start quickly and stay aligned with your plan.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One-shot day briefing: Delivers a short recap first (previous day, this week, momentum) before asking questions.
  • Context assembly: Loads the target day entry and week context from Binder, then pulls recent days with relevant metrics.
  • Data-informed scoring & capture: Proposes scores derived from health data (like sleep) and then records all user-provided updates back into the target day entry in one consolidated update.
  • Use case: When you wake up and want a fast, energizing launch into your day, use it to review momentum and confirm the remaining plan without a long planning session.

Quick Start

Ask: "Run the day-start briefing for today and help me capture what happened so far, then propose any health-derived scores and confirm what I should do next."

How do health scores get calculated in a daily briefing?

Health-derived score proposals are calculated by pulling recent-day metrics from your Binder journal, using data like sleep to suggest scores, which you then confirm during the guided input capture process.

Do I need a Binder journal to use this daily briefing skill?
