Slash Command728 repo starsupdated 1mo ago

start-day

The start-day slash command initiates a morning routine by reading user context files, asking what the single most important task is for the day, and logging the response. Use it each morning to establish focus, track progress on ongoing goals, identify blockers, and connect daily work to larger objectives while monitoring energy levels and potential avoidance patterns.

Definition

start-day.md

Read AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, USER.md, NOW.md silently.

## Context

Current time: !`date '+%A %B %d, %Y %H:%M'`

Check NOW.md for:
- Yesterday's MIT result
- Unfinished tasks in QUEUE
- This week's deadlines

## Ask

"What's your one thing today?"

Wait for response.

## If Scheduled (no response yet)

When triggered by cron:
- Send the question
- Include context: "Yesterday you [MIT status]. Deadlines: [any this week]."
- User responds when ready

## After Response

Update NOW.md:
- Set MIT in `# QUEUE`
- Add to `# LOG` if meaningful

Example LOG:
```
### Feb 11
- **MIT:** Ship the interoperability docs
- Context: 18 days to Feb 28 deadline
```

## Connect

If relevant, tie to their mission:
"That moves you toward [goal from USER.md]."

## Observe

Notice:
- Same MIT as yesterday? "This is day [N] on this. What's blocking?"
- Hesitation in response
- Energy level
- Avoiding something obvious in QUEUE

## Close

One line:
- "Go."
- "[X] days to [deadline]."
- "Ship it."
