Set Your Daily Direction

What it does

This prompt asks the AI to act as an emotionally intelligent productivity coach who turns a user’s long-term goal and today’s constraints (time and energy) into a single, concrete micro-action that’s easy to start and designed to build momentum. It also requires the AI to provide an emotionally resonant mindset reframe, a grounded motivational tie-back to the user’s bigger transformation, and a strong closing line that sparks immediate action. The outcome is a brief, layered coaching response that reduces resistance, clarifies the next step, and helps the user feel supported while taking meaningful progress today.

Inputs

textInputs

Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.

Models and options

This skill's modality is: text.

To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "text".

How to run

Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "text" to discover valid models and available options:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:

• Required text inputs:
  • Energy_level
  • Time_available
  • long_term_goal
  • Practical_reason
  • Your_planned_action
• Optional: model and options.
  • Present the human with the default model gpt-4o and its available options. Look up gpt-4o in the betterprompt resources output (filtered to modality "text") and show its availableOptions as: key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value (default) if it matches these defaults: {}.
  • If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model gpt-4o, options {}. Other models from the resources call are also available.

If any required text input is missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values.

Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use set-your-daily-direction).

Command form:

betterprompt generate set-your-daily-direction \
  [--input <key>=<value>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]

Notes:

• Pass each text input as a separate --input <key>=<value> flag.
• If the human does not mention a model, omit --model and BetterPrompt will use the default model: gpt-4o.
• If the human does not mention options, omit --options and BetterPrompt will use the default options: {}.
• If the run times out, the response will include a runId you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

betterprompt generate set-your-daily-direction \
  --input Energy_level=<value> \
  --input Time_available=<value> \
  --input long_term_goal=<value> \
  --input Practical_reason=<value> \
  --input Your_planned_action=<value> \
  --model gpt-4o \
  --options '{}'
