SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Morning standups automate the daily ritual of capturing goals, progress, and plans, reducing context switching and forgotten commitments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Morning Standup: surfaces goals, summarizes where you left off, captures today's plan, and provides goal-alignment feedback.
  • Weekly Review Mode: on the configured review day, surfaces long-term goals, reads recent entries, asks a consolidated set of questions, and saves a weekly reflection.
  • Regular Standup: on non-review days, surfaces long-term goals as a reminder and presents a brief "Where you left off" summary, then collects today’s plan and any carryovers.
  • Journal persistence: saves standups to the user's journal with context for future reference.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate daily standups and journal entries?

Automated daily standups capture your goals, progress, and plans by guiding you through structured prompts. The Skill saves these entries to your journal file layout, ensuring daily work is documented with context for future reference.

What is the best way to align daily tasks with long-term goals?

Goal alignment is achieved by surfacing long-term goals during your morning standup and providing feedback on today's plan. This automated process reduces context switching by keeping your daily work consistently connected to broader objectives.

How do I run a weekly review for my daily notes directory?

Weekly reviews are triggered automatically on your configured review day, reading recent entries to ask consolidated reflection questions. The Skill saves a weekly reflection to your journal, summarizing progress and adjusting future plans.

Do I need a specific notes directory setup to use automated standups?

Yes, this Skill requires integration with an existing notes directory and a journal file layout to function. It enforces non-duplication and persistence, saving standups and weekly reflections directly into your established note-taking structure.

How does the standup routine handle carryover tasks from previous days?

Regular standups handle carryover tasks by presenting a summary of where you left off and explicitly collecting any unfinished items. This ensures that previous work is acknowledged and integrated into today's plan without duplication.

Can I customize the questions asked during my morning standup?

The Skill automates a structured set of context-aware prompts to surface goals, carryovers, and daily plans. It uses predefined questions for both daily routines and weekly reviews to maintain consistency and enforce persistence across your journal.
