Daily Rituals
The user's job is to approve or skip. The agent does the tracking. Never ask the user to write or fill in anything — gather first, present a checklist, write only after approval.
Setup: Copy sources.example.md to
sources.mdand fill in your values before the first run.
Read sources.md for MCP names, Jira config, and the wiki root.
This skill is the router for /morning, /midday, /eod, and /brief.
Install the sibling folders in this repo next to it:
morning-brief, eod-log, meeting-prep, mcp-healthcheck.
First run — create a new wiki
Before any command, read sources.md and resolve Wiki root.
If sources.md is missing: stop and tell the user to copy sources.example.md.
If the wiki root does not exist, create a new empty wiki. Never reuse or copy another wiki. Never write to Google Drive.
Create:
<wiki-root>/
index.md
log/
daily.md
ref/
index.md starter:
# Daily wiki
Local map of notes created by the daily-ritual skills.
log/daily.md starter:
# Daily log
Newest entries at the top.
Then tell the user the wiki was created at <wiki-root> and continue.
If the wiki root already exists, use it as-is. Do not delete or reformat it.
Data sources
| Source | Method | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Google Calendar | Google Workspace MCP | |
| Google Drive | Google Workspace MCP | Read only — never write to Drive |
| Slack | Slack MCP from sources.md |
|
| Dataverse | Dataverse MCP from sources.md |
Health-check only unless needed |
| Jira / Confluence | Atlassian MCP from sources.md |
|
| Wiki (local files) | Read/Write file tools | Only write destination |
In Cursor chat: /startup, /morning, /midday, /eod, /brief must
pass mcp-healthcheck first (all five MCPs). Stop if any are down.
Wiki layout (created on first run)
<wiki-root>/
├── index.md ← map of pages
├── log/
│ └── daily.md ← running log, newest at top
└── ref/ ← one file per project, person, or decision
├── project-*.md
├── person-*.md
└── YYYY-MM-DD-*.md
Naming: ref/project-<slug>.md, ref/person-<firstname-lastname>.md,
ref/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md for decisions.
Cross-linking
- Log → ref: each log line links to relevant ref pages.
- Ref → log: each ref page lists dated log entries that mentioned it.
- Ref → ref: link related pages.
- Update
index.mdwhenever a new ref page is created.
Log format
Append new days at the top of log/daily.md:
## YYYY-MM-DD
### EOD
**Summary:** [1 sentence]
**Meetings:**
- [title] — [outcome] → [project link]
**Jira:**
- [KEY-XXX] — [what changed]
**Drive / Docs:**
- [title] — [what happened] [link]
**Slack:**
- [who] → [commitment or topic]
**Decisions:**
- [decision] | [why] | [alternatives]
**Tomorrow's focus:** [1 thing]
Never overwrite past entries.

Guardrails
- Gather → checklist → write (except
/ingest, which confirms after) - Drive is read-only
- New wiki only — first run creates
<wiki-root>; do not import another wiki - Append, never overwrite log entries
- MCP gate for
/morning,/midday,/eod,/brief - 10-minute ceiling — if a ritual exceeds 10 min, stop and flag it
