Daily rhythm
The cadence skills. Briefings and the pulse, attention for the day, standup and session checkpoints, and goals from the day to the year.
Ask in plain words ("brief me", "plan my day", "set today's goals") or name the skill and playbook. Each reads the board, the memory, and the recent sessions to tell you what matters, and nothing changes your tasks or goals until you confirm.
A day
| When | Skill | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Sitting down | briefing morning | Priorities, drafted artifacts, goals delta, per-project pulse, news, and a ranked list of first moves. Includes the Hijri date when your profile asks for it |
| Setting the day | goals day | One to three outcomes for today, the finished state rather than the activity. Scored in the evening wrap |
| Planning the day | attention plan | Today cut to three, ranked toward today's goals, carried-over work settled, roadmap gaps turned into tasks. attention alone pulls the queue and refreshes the dashboard's Today view. See Attention |
| Overwhelmed | attention organize | Empty your head first: everything on your mind sorted into tasks and inbox notes, questions only about the gaps (overdue work, unset week goals), then today cut to three with a first move and what's parked |
| Any time | briefing pulse | A one-minute scan: anything stalled, recent errors, tasks past their cadence |
| Before standup | attention standup | Did / next / blocked, derived from git, PRs, sessions, and the board, as a card to glance at while you talk (the full update is saved as a report); Next is today's plan when it has one. Monday sets the week's goals and Friday scores them (goals week does the same any day). attention standup 48 widens the window |
| Lost | attention checkpoint all | A checklist for every session from the last 24 hours scoped to this home: the decisions waiting on you first, ranked, then a card per session with what got done, what is in progress and the resume command, then an offer to jump to one. attention checkpoint writes the same checklist for the current session |
| Looking for something | find-session | Find a past session by what it worked on (a branch, a PR, a bug) and get its resume command |
| Wrapping up | briefing evening | What shipped, drafted, stalled, how today's goals landed, tomorrow's first moves |
| Been away | sync | Everything current in one pass, optionally chaining a briefing. See Sync |
How a briefing ends
Both briefings close with a short ranked list of what to do first, drawn from everything at once: a task due today or tomorrow, a session sitting idle until you answer it, a pull request or reply you owe, and only then goals you haven't set. The top item is the first move.
👉 First moves
1. Send the vendor the signed renewal (ac-104, due tomorrow) ← start here
2. ★ Merge the billing fix? → yes, CI is green · billing-retry session
↳ claude --resume 7c1e…
3. Review the onboarding redesign (#212), owed 2 days
4. /goals day: today's goals aren't setThe ★ items come from the newest checkpoint all report, so a briefing on its own reads what that report saw, and one chained from sync sees the sessions as of that run.
Goals
The goals skill sets the goals blocks at the top of projects/TASKS.md, one playbook per horizon. Goals are outcomes; attention plans the tasks that reach them.
| Playbook | Sets |
|---|---|
goals day | One to three outcomes for today, scored in the evening wrap |
goals week | Monday: two or three week goals planned into the week's tasks; goals week interview grills you first. Friday: done, partial, or missed, and where the rest goes |
goals month | This month's themes and big rocks, with a report card on last month |
goals year | The year, quarter by quarter, under the north star your roadmap names |
Sync flags a week, month, or quarter that has come due and offers to run it (the week as goals week interview), and keeps nudging until you set it or consciously skip it. A bare goals runs whichever is due, or the day when nothing is.
Working sessions
flywheelruns a cross-project work session framed by the roadmap: it catches up on the sessions since its last run, advances, updates and closes tasks, keeps milestone statuses honest, and turns a task that keeps slipping into one decision. Sync runs it for you.self-reviewis the monthly upkeep sync offers: a brain pass that clears stale tasks, memory and articles, and a rules pass that prunes the prompts and turns accumulated feedback into edits. See Self-evolution.plan-specinterviews you into a standalone spec you can hand to your host's planning mode; a spec for code carries a design section and a check on every task.roadmapbuilds or updates a north-star roadmap as a self-contained HTML surface, its content kept as JSON inside the page so attention can read what's in flight. The home's own roadmap (roadmap.htmlat the root) takes the north star, the one line every lane ladders up to, from the Yearly Goals header or asks for one, and writes it back there, since that header loads every session;goals yearthen states it instead of asking each quarter. When this year's goals aren't set, the build runsgoals yearfirst. Sync offers the build at every run until the home has one.
All outputs land in reports/ and show up under today's reports in the next session's context.
