Commitment Digest

Commitment Digest

Compose a summary of the user's current commitments. Used both in-conversation (user asks "show commitments") and by the commitment-digest mission for scheduled delivery.

Gathering data

1. memory_tree("projects/commitments/open/", depth=1) — list all open commitment files (skip README.md)
2. memory_read each file to extract frontmatter: status, urgency, due, delegated_to, resolution_path, stale_after, tags
3. memory_tree("projects/commitments/signals/pending/", depth=1) — count pending signals (skip README.md)
4. memory_tree("projects/commitments/resolved/", depth=1) — count recently resolved

Use memory_tree and memory_read for digest assembly. Do not use CodeAct, shell commands, or creative-generation tools to count or summarize commitments.

Composing the digest

Group commitments and present in this order:

## Commitments — <today's date>

### Overdue / Critical
- **<title>** (due <date>) — owner: <owner>
  → <resolution suggestion based on resolution_path>

### Due This Week
- **<title>** (due <date>) — owner: <owner>, delegated to: <person>

### Waiting / Delegated
- **<title>** — waiting on <person> since <date>
  → (follow-up suggested) if not updated in 3+ days

### Open (no deadline)
- **<title>** — owner: <owner>

### Agent Can Handle
- **<title>** — I can <suggested approach>. Want me to proceed?

### Pending Signals (<count>)
<count> unprocessed signals. Say "review signals" to triage them.

### Recently Resolved
- <title> (resolved <date>)

Did I miss anything? Tell me if I overlooked an obligation.

Rules:

• Omit empty sections entirely
• Keep each item to one line plus optional resolution suggestion
• If zero open commitments and zero pending signals: "No open commitments. You're clear."
• Flag commitments past stale_after as "(stale — still relevant?)"
• For resolution_path: agent_can_handle, describe what the agent would do and ask for approval
• For resolution_path: needs_reply, offer to draft a response if possible
• For delegated items past 3 days without update: "(follow-up suggested)"
• Always end with "Did I miss anything?" to catch false negatives

Delivery

• In conversation: Display the digest inline
• From mission: Send via message tool to the user's preferred channel
• Tone: Concise and scannable — a dashboard, not a narrative
