What Am I Missing

What Am I Missing

Surface risks, blind spots, overlooked items, and accountability across all areas.

What to Check

1. Commitment Risks

From context/commitments.md:

• Overdue items
• Items at risk (due soon, no progress)
• Patterns of slippage
• Cascading delays

2. Relationship Risks

From people/ files:

• Cooling relationships (60+ days)
• Unfulfilled promises to key people
• Sentiment shifts detected
• Key relationships not nurtured

3. Waiting Risks

From context/waiting.md:

• Overdue items from others
• Critical dependencies at risk
• Patterns (chronic late deliverers)

4. Pattern Risks

From context/patterns.md:

• Recurring issues not addressed
• Blind spots observed
• Capacity concerns
• Self-limiting patterns

5. Strategic Risks

Looking at the bigger picture:

• Important-but-not-urgent items being neglected
• Opportunities cooling
• Decisions being avoided

6. Data Consistency Check

Cross-reference memory DB against file state to catch divergence:

• Run claudia memory recall "project status commitments" --project-dir "$PWD" --limit 10
• Compare recalled statuses (interview completion, deliverable state) against file-based trackers
• For any active project with a dashboard/README tracker, grep actual file statuses and compare to stated counts
• Flag contradictions: "Memory says X is completed, but tracker shows it outstanding" (or vice versa)
• Recommend correction path: update the stale source to match the authoritative one

This step catches the scenario where an interview/task was processed but only some status sources were updated.

Output Format

**At Risk:**
- [Item] due [date] - [concern]

### Relationship Risks

**Cooling:**
- [Person] - last contact [X] days ago
  -> Was: [relationship context]
  -> Risk: [what could happen]

**Open Loops:**
- Promised [thing] to [person] - [status]

### Waiting Risks

**Overdue from Others:**
- [Item] from [person] - expected [date]
  -> Impact: [why this matters]
  -> Suggested action: [what to do]

### Pattern Risks

- [Pattern] - seen [X] times recently
  -> Concern: [why it matters]
  -> Suggestion: [what to consider]

### By Relationship

#### [Person/Client Name]
**I Owe:**
- [Item] - due [Date]

**They Owe:**
- [Item] - since [Date]

[Repeat for key relationships with open items]

**Recovery Actions:**
- [Overdue item]: [What to do now]

### Data Consistency

- [Source A] says [X], but [Source B] says [Y]
  -> Authoritative source: [which one and why]
  -> Fix: Update [stale source] to match

### Summary

Critical: [X items need immediate attention]
Watch: [Y items to keep an eye on]
Consider: [Z strategic things to think about]
Consistency: [N data mismatches found across sources]
