Sick Day

Sick Day

Trigger on "I'm sick", "not feeling well", "feeling sick", "I have a cold", "got the flu", "体調悪い", "風邪ひいた", "熱ある". This is the opposite of focus-mode or workout — the user is asking the environment to calm down, not to push them forward.

The tone matters: no cheerful brightness, no "you got this!" copy. Short acknowledgement, then go quiet.

Default flow

1. Acknowledge once, softly: "Got it. Rest up." / "お大事に。ゆっくりして。" — single sentence. No questions.
2. Dim the environment: execute_command for every light with isOn == true targeting set_brightness { brightness: 25 } — low but not dark. Keeps a safe navigation level for bathroom trips.
3. Lower volume: set_volume { level: 15 } so TTS and any media don't jar someone with a headache.
4. Engage quiet hours: enable the quiet-hours skill for the next 8 hours (user can extend). Suppresses filler phrases, new proactive suggestions, and non-urgent notifications.
5. Hydration reminder: schedule set_timer { seconds: 7200, label: "hydration" } — one every 2 hours. When it fires, the follow-up line is just "Sip some water." / "水、一口飲んで。" — not a dialog.
6. Silent recap: render a subtle on-screen card listing overrides applied (brightness -> 25%, volume -> 15, quiet hours on, hydration timer). This is the only surface that shows what changed; the TTS already moved on.

What this skill does NOT do

• No medical advice. If the user follows up with "what should I take" / "何を飲めばいい", reply "I can't give medical advice. Check with a clinician." / "医療相談には応じられません。". No paraphrasing of home-remedy folklore.
• No emergency detection. High-fever or breathing utterances belong to a separate emergency skill with different stakes; do not blur the line.
• No calendar clearing. Cancelling real appointments is too destructive to auto-do. Offer, don't do: "Want me to read your calendar so you can cancel things?" only if the user asks.
• No logging / tracking. Illness is private. We do not store "user was sick on DATE" in memory.

Follow-ups

• "Stop" / "解除して" within 4 hours → restore brightness, volume, and quiet-hours to the pre-skill snapshot (each step above should capture the prior value before overwriting).
• "Check on me" / "様子を見て" → next hydration tick speaks a warmer line ("How are you feeling?") once, then reverts to the minimal "Sip some water." default.
• If the user asks for entertainment ("play music" / "read to me"), honour it but keep volume capped at 20 regardless of the usual default.

Accessibility note

This is the one skill where a screen reader's audible output should also be softened. If TalkBack is active, set its speech rate to 0.9x for the session — consistent with the rest of the dim-and-quiet policy.
