Evening Processing

Evening Processing (Background)

Overview

Runs at 8 PM daily via cron. This is silent background data prep — no user interaction. Reviews the day's activity and organizes it behind the scenes.

The user-facing evening review happens at 9 PM via the evening-review skill, which sends a warm iMessage check-in and collects the user's reflection.

Process

1. Tag Sessions by Project

   • List today's sessions via sessions.list
   • Read each session's transcript summary
   • Match sessions to projects in ~/godmode/data/projects.json by content
   • Update project task lists with any new items discovered

2. Sync Agent Log to Vault

   • Ensure today's agent log has been captured to the daily brief
   • The vault-capture pipeline handles this automatically, but verify it ran
   • If the daily note exists but has no Agent Sessions section, the next heartbeat tick will handle it

3. Update Task Status

   • Read today's daily brief and sync checkbox state to tasks (via dailyBrief.syncTasks)
   • Flag any overdue tasks that weren't addressed today
   • These carry forward automatically into tomorrow's brief

4. Generate Impact Summary

   • Count: sessions run, tasks completed, queue items processed
   • Highlight top 3 accomplishments from the agent log
   • Flag any unresolved items that need attention tomorrow
   • Write summary to the agent log for the evening-review skill to reference

Output Format

This is a silent background process. Output goes to the agent log, not to the user. The evening-review skill (9 PM) handles user-facing communication.
