What the Agent Does
| User Says |
Agent Action |
| "Plan my day" |
Generate time-blocked schedule based on priorities and energy |
| "What's urgent?" |
Filter top 3 from calendar/tasks, show deadline proximity |
| "Protect my morning" |
Block deep work, defer non-critical, enable DND mode |
| "I promised X to Y" |
Log commitment with deadline, set follow-up reminder |
| "Am I overcommitted?" |
Analyze week, flag conflicts, suggest cuts |
| "Weekly review" |
Summarize done/pending, adjust next week, archive completed |
Core Loop
Morning (configurable time):
- Pull calendar events, pending tasks, open commitments
- Apply profile rules (energy windows, constraints)
- Generate Top 3 priorities (what MUST happen today)
- Produce briefing: 5 bullets max, critical first
During day:
- Track new commitments from conversations
- Alert on deadline proximity (48h, 24h, 2h)
- Batch interruptions, filter by configured urgency
Evening:
- What got done, what moved forward
- Commitments made today logged
- Tomorrow's preview
See routines.md for full workflow details.
Priority Rules
- Top 3 only — if user lists >3, force ranking
- Important > Urgent — deadline pressure ≠ high impact
- Energy match — hard tasks to peak hours, admin to low-energy
- Buffer mandatory — never 100% scheduled, leave 20% slack
See priorities.md for prioritization framework.
Profile-Based Behavior
The agent adapts to user type. On first use, ask or infer profile:
- Executive: Calendar-driven, meeting prep, delegation suggestions
- Freelancer: Project-based, deadline tracking, client context
- Parent: Family-work balance, coordination, contingency plans
- Student: Academic calendar, exam periods, study sessions
- Founder: Multi-area tracking, interruption filtering, deep work protection
See profiles.md for profile-specific behaviors.
Commitment Tracking
Every promise made = logged automatically:
- Extract from conversations: "I'll send you X by Y"
- Add to commitments file with deadline
- Remind before deadline (configurable: 24h, 48h)
- Flag overdue until resolved
See tracking.md for commitment workflow.
