Daily Planning

Skill: daily-planning

Purpose

Provides context-aware daily check-ins that adapt based on time of day, existing plan, and user energy. Helps structure the day with minimal cognitive overhead through morning planning, midday adjustments, and evening reviews.

Trigger Conditions

• Slash command: /checkin
• Natural phrases: ["plan my day", "morning planning", "morgonplanering", "let's check in", "how's my day going", "kolla läget", "evening review", "kvällsreflektion", "day review"]
• Auto-trigger: Time-based (morning/midday/evening detection)

Required Context (gather BEFORE starting workflow)

1. Time period via profile getCurrentTimePeriod → returns "morning"|"midday"|"evening"
2. Plan exists via plan planHasContent → returns true|false
3. Today's check-ins via journal getTodayEntries → filter for entry_type="checkin"
4. Today's tasks via tasks getTodayTasks → returns Map<roleId, Task[]>
5. Energy level via profile getCurrentEnergyLevel → returns "high"|"medium"|"low"
6. Overdue tasks via tasks getOverdueTasks → returns Task[]

How to gather context:

# Get time period
bun run src/aida-cli.ts profile getCurrentTimePeriod

# Check if plan exists
bun run src/aida-cli.ts plan planHasContent

# Get today's journal entries
bun run src/aida-cli.ts journal getTodayEntries

# Get today's tasks
bun run src/aida-cli.ts tasks getTodayTasks

# Get current energy level
bun run src/aida-cli.ts profile getCurrentEnergyLevel

# Get overdue tasks
bun run src/aida-cli.ts tasks getOverdueTasks

Workflow Steps

Flow Selection (first match wins)

Morning Flow

See MORNING-FLOW.md for detailed procedure.

Summary:

1. Action: Display task summary by role
2. Output: Energy-matched focus suggestions (1-3 items)
3. Wait for: User confirms focus items and scheduled events
4. Action: Create plan via plan createDailyPlan {...}
5. Action: Log check-in via journal createEntry {"entry_type":"checkin",...}
6. Output: First action suggestion

Midday Flow

See MIDDAY-FLOW.md for detailed procedure.

Summary:

1. Review progress vs morning plan
2. Query completed tasks since morning
3. Ask about current energy level
4. Adjust remaining priorities if needed
5. Update journal entry (type='checkin')
6. Suggest next action

Evening Flow

See EVENING-FLOW.md for detailed procedure.

Summary:

1. Summarize day's accomplishments
2. Note what rolled over (not completed)
3. Create reflection journal entry (type='reflection')
4. Archive plan to log via plan archivePlanToLog
5. Clear daily plan via plan clearDailyPlan
6. Optionally prepare tomorrow's focus

Output Format

• Language: Swedish (default)
• Style: Concise, encouraging, non-judgmental
• Focus items: 1-3 maximum, never full task list
• Energy awareness: Match suggestions to current energy level

Example morning output:

God morgon! ☀️

Idag ser jag tre fokusområden baserat på din energi:

1. **Färdigställ arkitekturdokumentation** (Developer)
   - Hög energi på morgonen - perfekt för detta
   - Deadline: idag

2. **Team standup 09:00** (Work)
   - Förberedelsetid: 10 minuter

3. **Träning** (Personal)
   - Schemalagt: 18:00

Vad ska vi börja med först?

Error Handling

• If profile getCurrentTimePeriod returns null: Default to "morning" flow
• If tasks getTodayTasks returns empty: Show message "Inga uppgifter för idag. Vill du lägga till någon?" and suggest task-capture
• If plan planHasContent fails: Assume no plan exists, run Morning flow
• If journal createEntry fails: Log error to console, continue workflow, inform user that logging failed but plan was created
• If no roles exist: Guide user to profile-management skill to set up roles first
• If profile doesn't exist: Guide user to profile-management skill with message "Du behöver först skapa en profil. Vill du göra det nu?"

Anti-patterns

• NEVER create tasks directly - use task-capture skill
• NEVER modify task status - use task-activation skill or let user do it
• NEVER show all tasks - always filter to 1-3 focus items based on energy and priority
• NEVER skip energy matching when suggesting tasks
• NEVER write directly to 0-JOURNAL/1-DAILY/*.md (auto-generated from database)
• NEVER delete data - only archive or clear as specified in workflow
• NEVER use direct SQL - always use aida-cli.ts
• NEVER run query modules directly (e.g., bun run src/database/queries/tasks.ts)

Tool Contract

Allowed CLI Operations:

• plan: planHasContent, readDailyPlan, createDailyPlan, archivePlanToLog, clearDailyPlan
• tasks: getTodayTasks, getOverdueTasks, getTaskById (READ ONLY)
• roles: getActiveRoles, getRoleById (READ ONLY)
• journal: getTodayEntries, createEntry (types: checkin, reflection)
• profile: getCurrentTimePeriod, getCurrentEnergyLevel, getProfile (READ ONLY)

Forbidden Operations:

• Creating tasks (use task-capture skill)
• Modifying task status (user action or task-activation skill)
• Updating profile (use profile-management skill)
• Deleting any data

File Access:

• Read: 0-JOURNAL/PLAN.md, personal-profile.json
• Write: 0-JOURNAL/PLAN.md only (overwritten morning, cleared evening)
• Never write: 0-JOURNAL/1-DAILY/*.md (generated from database)

• ENERGY-MATCHING.md - How to match tasks to energy levels

Design Principles

1. Activation over perfection - Help START the day, not just plan it
2. One thing at a time - Suggest 1-3 focus items max, never the full list
3. Energy-aware - Match task suggestions to user's energy patterns
4. Non-judgmental - Frame progress positively, deferrals as rescheduling
