Wilma Triage

Wilma Triage

Automated daily triage of Wilma school data for parents. Filters noise, surfaces actionable items, and syncs exams/events to Google Calendar.

Dependencies

• wilma skill — install from ClawHub (clawhub install wilma) for Wilma CLI commands and setup; attachment download requires wilma-cli 1.6.0+
• gog skill — install from ClawHub (clawhub install gog) for Google Calendar sync

First Run Setup

On first use, collect and store configuration:

1. Discover kids: Run wilma kids list --json to get student names, numbers, and schools
2. Calendar ID: Run gog calendar calendars to list available calendars. Ask the user which calendar to use for school events. Store the calendar ID in TOOLS.md under a ## Wilma Triage section along with naming conventions for events.
3. Preferences: Ask about any kid-specific rules (e.g., subject overrides like ET instead of religion). Store in MEMORY.md as part of the Wilma triage context.

Over time, the user will give feedback on what to report and what to skip — store these preferences in MEMORY.md. The triage gets smarter with use.

Workflow

1. Fetch data — check TOOLS.md for student details, then start with summary:

   # Best starting point — returns schedule, exams, homework, news, messages
   wilma summary --all-students --json
   
   # Drill into specifics as needed
   wilma exams list --all-students --json
   wilma schedule list --when today --all-students --json
   wilma schedule list --when tomorrow --all-students --json
   wilma homework list --all-students --limit 10 --json
   wilma grades list --all-students --limit 5 --json
   wilma messages list --all-students --limit 10 --json
   wilma news list --all-students --limit 10 --json
   
   # Lesson notes (merkinnät) — fetch yesterday's notes during a morning run,
   # since teachers fill them during/after class. For a same-day check later
   # in the afternoon, omit --date.
   wilma attendance list --all-students --date <yesterday-YYYY-MM-DD> --json
   
   # Read full content when subject line looks actionable
   wilma messages read <id> --student <name> --json
   wilma news read <id> --student <name> --json
   

2. Download and read important attachments — many bulletins are link-only: the content field is empty (or just defers to an attachment), and the actionable information — dates, deadlines, forms, required materials, schedule details — lives inside the attached document. Skipping these means missing exactly the items triage exists to catch.

   After reading a bulletin or message, inspect the resources array in the JSON. Attempt a download when all of these hold:

   • the resource looks like a document (a fileName hint, a document-like URL, or otherwise clearly a file rather than a web page), and
   • the bulletin is high-value (annual/term info sheets, teacher letters, school office bulletins, permission slips), and
   • the bulletin text is empty or defers to the attachment.

   wilma news resource download <news-id> <resource-id> --student <name> --output <dir> --json
   

   Handle the returned status:

   • downloaded — read the file (use the PDF reader for PDFs) and extract actionable items into the report.
   • not_a_file — the link is a web page or requires external sign-in. Report the URL so the parent can open it themselves. Do not retry in a loop.
   • error — report the message.

   What NOT to download:

   • Generic informational web links, social-media pages, and multilingual duplicates of the same notice — a single bulletin may carry many of these.
   • Do not iterate the whole resources array; target only genuine document attachments on high-value, actionable bulletins.

   Sandbox note: image/PDF reader tools may reject files in certain temp paths (e.g. system temp dirs). Download attachments into a workspace-relative directory (e.g. ./attachments/) before reading, and clean up afterward if desired.

3. Filter — apply triage rules below plus any kid-specific rules from MEMORY.md

4. Calendar sync — add missing exams and actionable events using gog CLI commands from TOOLS.md

   • ALWAYS check for existing events before adding to avoid duplicates
   • Use naming conventions stored in TOOLS.md
   • Remove cancelled events from calendar

5. Report — if actionable items found, send details. If nothing actionable, stay silent or send a brief confirmation. Check MEMORY.md for the user's notification preference.

Calendar Sync

Refer to TOOLS.md for the calendar ID, naming conventions, and exact gog CLI commands.

NO DUPLICATES rule:

1. Before adding any event, check calendar for that date range
2. If a matching event exists (same date + child + subject keywords), skip it
3. Only add if not already there

Understanding Wilma Messages

Wilma messages come from different sources and have very different signal-to-noise ratios. Knowing the difference is critical for good triage:

• Viikkoviesti / weekly letter (from class teacher) — HIGH VALUE. These are the class teacher's weekly updates. They look like casual newsletters but frequently contain buried actionable items: upcoming exams, materials to bring, schedule changes, field trips, deadlines. Always read the full content. Never skip based on subject line.
• Teacher messages (from subject teachers) — Usually about specific exams, homework, or class events. High signal.
• School office / rehtori messages — Administrative: schedule changes, events, policy updates. Medium signal — skim for actions.
• Kuukausitiedote / monthly newsletter (from school office) — Read these. They typically contain important dates: holidays, school year start/end, event schedules, enrollment deadlines. Don't skip based on the generic subject line.
• Municipality notices (from the city/municipality education department) — Health campaigns, transport info, surveys. Usually noise for daily triage. Skim subject, skip unless clearly actionable.
• Parent union / vanhempainyhdistys — Low signal by default (fundraising, volunteer calls). However, check MEMORY.md — if the parent is actively involved in the union, these become high priority.

Rule of thumb: If a message is from a teacher (class teacher or subject teacher), always read it. If it's from the school office or city, skim the subject and skip unless it's clearly actionable.

If a high-value message or bulletin references or attaches a document, download and read it per workflow step 2 — the actionable details are often only in the attachment.

Understanding Lesson Notes (merkinnät)

Lesson notes are short per-lesson remarks teachers leave in Wilma. They fall into a few categories — signal varies a lot:

• Behavioral concerns (e.g. "Sinulta puuttui opiskeluvälineitä" = "you were missing study materials", "Häiritsi tuntia" = "disrupted class") — Report. Parents typically want to know and may want to follow up.
• Unexplained absences ("Selvittämätön poissaolo") — Report immediately. Could indicate truancy or that the parent forgot to file an excuse in Wilma.
• Explained absences ("Terveydellinen syy" = medical, "Muu selvitetty poissaolo" = other-explained) — Report briefly as confirmation that the absence is logged. Skip if MEMORY.md says the parent doesn't want absence confirmations.
• Positive feedback ("Hyvä!", "Osasit toimia ryhmän vastuullisena jäsenenä") — Skip by default. Mention occasionally if MEMORY.md indicates the parent wants positive notes too.
• Note with parenthetical detail (e.g. "Muu selvitetty poissaolo; Lähti 13.00" = "left at 13:00") — the extra clause after the semicolon is often the most useful part. Surface it.

The typeLabel field in the JSON is the full Finnish reason; subject is the course code (e.g. MA_8LV). Group consecutive same-subject same-type notes when reporting (one absence often spans multiple periods).

Triage Rules

Always Report (Actionable)

• Forms, permission slips, replies needed
• Deadlines (sign-ups, payments, materials to bring)
• Schedule changes (early dismissal, cancelled classes, substitute arrangements)
• Special gear/materials needed (e.g., "bring ski gear", "outdoor clothing")
• After-school events kids might want to attend (discos, movie nights)
• Exam schedule updates or new exams
• Cancelled events that are on the calendar → remove them
• Behavioral lesson notes or unexplained absences (see merkinnät section above)

Report Briefly (Worth Mentioning)

• Field trips, themed days with date info
• School closures, holiday schedule changes
• Health notices (lice alerts, illness outbreaks)
• New grades (brief mention with grade)
• Explained absences logged in lesson notes (confirmation only)

Important: Always Read Weekly Letters (viikkoviesti)

Weekly letters from class teachers often contain actionable items buried in the text: exams, materials to bring, schedule changes, field trips. Always read the full content of viikkoviesti messages — do not skip based on subject line alone. If the letter references or attaches a document (info sheet, schedule, form), download and read it too per workflow step 2.

Day-Before Logistics (critical!)

Viikkoviestit and teacher messages often contain operational details for upcoming days that don't map to calendar events but are essential for parents the day/evening before:

• Modified start/end times (e.g., "9:30 kouluun" instead of the normal 8:30)
• What to bring/pack (water bottle, outdoor clothes, snacks, specific gear)
• Which lessons are cancelled due to trips or events (e.g., no ET, no electives)
• Pickup/return time changes (e.g., "paluu koululle noin klo 15")
• Order of the day (e.g., "exam first, then trip immediately after")

These details are just as important as exams and schedule changes. A parent who knows there's a field trip but doesn't know school starts at 9:30 instead of 8:30 has incomplete information.

Workflow:

1. When reading viikkoviestit, extract ALL day-specific logistics for the next 2-3 school days
2. If today's triage finds logistics for tomorrow or the day after, always report them even if the underlying event (trip, exam) is already on the calendar
3. Include: modified times, what to bring, cancelled lessons, transport details, return times
4. Don't assume calendar sync = job done — the calendar has the event but not the logistics

Example of what gets missed without this: Calendar shows "Activity park trip" and "History exam" on Friday. But the viikkoviesti says school starts at 9:30 (not 8:30), history exam is first, bring water bottle + snacks, no ET or electives, return around 15:00. All of that is critical for the parent to know the evening before.

Skip Silently

• Concerts, cultural performances (FYI only)
• Generic "welcome back" or seasonal greetings
• City-wide informational notices (health campaigns, transport info, surveys)
• Parent union messages (unless user is actively involved — check MEMORY.md)
• Positive lesson notes (unless MEMORY.md says otherwise)

Check MEMORY.md for additional skip/report rules the user has provided over time (e.g., subject overrides, school-specific filtering).

Suggested Cron Setup

Run daily at 07:00 local time as an isolated agentTurn job:

Schedule: 07:00 daily
Timeout: 180s
Task: "Read the wilma-triage skill, then run the full triage workflow. Report actionable findings."

Stagger with other morning jobs (e.g., email check at 07:05) to avoid API rate limits.

Output Format Example

📚 Wilma Update

Child A (8th grade)
• Math exam tomorrow — yhtälöt, kpl 1-8
• Friday short day (9:20-12:35) — kulttuuripäivä, bring laptop + outdoor clothes
• Lesson note (yesterday, MA_8LV): "Sinulta puuttui opiskeluvälineitä" — kirja jäi kotiin

Child B (6th grade)
• No actionable items

📅 Calendar: Added Child A math exam (Feb 10), removed cancelled disco (Feb 11)

Keep it brief. One line per item. Silence is better than noise.
