Daily Review — [Day], [Month] [DD], [YYYY]

Purpose

Conduct an end-of-day review to capture progress, track what you actually accomplished vs. planned, surface meeting follow-ups, and set up tomorrow.

Tone Calibration

Read System/​user-profile.yaml → communication section and adapt accordingly.

---

Step 0: Demo Mode Check

Check System/​user-profile.yaml for demo_mode. If true, use demo paths.

---

Step 1: File Discovery

Find files modified TODAY:

TODAY=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
find . -type f -name "*.md" -newermt "$TODAY 00:00:00" ! -newermt "$TODAY 23:59:59" 2>/​dev/​null

Critical rules:

1. No truncation — list all modified files
2. Today only — use date-based filtering
3. Verify with user — "These are the files I found. What did you actually work on?"

---

Step 2: Gather Context

From 03-Tasks/​Tasks.md

• Tasks completed today (look for ✅ YYYY-MM-DD matching today)
• Tasks started but not finished

From Weekly Priorities

Read 02-Week_Priorities/​Week_Priorities.md for:

• This week's strategic focus
• How today's work connects to weekly priorities

From Recent Meetings

Check 00-Inbox/​Meetings/ for meeting notes from today.

---

Step 3: Daily Plan Completion Tracking (NEW)

Compare what you planned vs. what you did.

3.1 Find Today's Plan

Look for 07-Archives/​Plans/​YYYY-MM-DD.md (today's date).

3.2 Extract Planned Focus

From the "Today's Focus" section, extract the 3 items you planned to focus on.

3.3 Track Completion

For each planned focus item:

• Check if it was completed (look in Tasks.md for completion timestamps)
• Check if it was started but not finished
• Check if it was blocked or deferred

Surface this:

"📊 Daily Plan Completion:

You planned 3 focus items this morning:

1. ✅ Prep for Acme meeting — Complete
2. 🔄 Write pricing proposal — In progress (about 60% done)
3. ❌ Reply to Mike — Didn't get to it

Completion rate today: 1 of 3 (33%)

What happened with #3? Should it carry to tomorrow?"

3.4 Track Over Time (Optional)

If tracking completion rates:

• Update System/​metrics/​daily-completion.md with today's rate
• Surface patterns: "Your average completion rate this week is 67%"

---

Step 4: Meeting Follow-Up Surfacing (NEW)

For each meeting you had today, surface follow-ups.

4.1 Identify Today's Meetings

From calendar or meeting notes, list meetings that happened today.

4.2 For Each Meeting, Ask:

Use: get_meeting_context(meeting_title="...", attendees=[...])

Then prompt:

"📍 You met with Sarah Chen today (Acme Quarterly Review)

Any follow-ups to capture?

• Action items you committed to?
• Things they owe you?
• Decisions that need documentation?

(Type your follow-ups or 'none')"

4.3 Create Follow-Up Tasks

For any follow-ups mentioned:

• Add to Tasks.md with appropriate priority
• Link to the person page
• Add due date if mentioned

---

Step 5: Progress Assessment

With user-verified information:

• What was accomplished?
• What progress was made against weekly priorities?
• What got stuck or blocked?
• What unexpected things came up?

---

Step 6: Week Progress Check (Midweek Context)

Use: get_week_progress()

Show how today's work moved weekly priorities:

"Week Progress Update:

After today, you're at:

• Priority 1: ✅ Complete (finished today!)
• Priority 2: 🔄 60% (moved from 40%)
• Priority 3: ⚠️ Still not started

You have 2 days left. Tomorrow should focus on Priority 3."

---

Step 7: Auto-Extract Session Learnings

Scan today's conversation for learnings:

1. Mistakes or corrections — Did something not work as expected?
2. Preferences mentioned — Did you express how you like to work?
3. Documentation gaps — Were there questions about how the system works?
4. Workflow inefficiencies — Did any task take longer than it should?

Write to System/​Session_Learnings/​YYYY-MM-DD.md.

Then ask: "I captured [N] learnings from today's session. Anything else you'd like to add?"

---

Step 8: Categorize Learnings (If Applicable)

Check if any learnings should be elevated to pattern files:

• Recurring mistakes → 06-Resources/​Learnings/​Mistake_Patterns.md
• Workflow preferences → 06-Resources/​Learnings/​Working_Preferences.md

Get user confirmation before adding.

---

Step 9: Tomorrow's Setup

Based on:

• Incomplete items from today
• Weekly priorities (especially lagging ones)
• Commitments due tomorrow
• Tomorrow's calendar shape

Suggest 3 focus items for tomorrow:

"Suggested focus for tomorrow (Thursday):

1. Priority 3 — It's been untouched all week and you have 2 days left
2. Finish pricing proposal — 40% left, should be quick to complete
3. Reply to Mike — Carried from today

Tomorrow's shape: Moderate (4 meetings). You have a 2-hour block in the afternoon.

Does this feel right?"

---

Step 10: Track Usage (Silent)

Update System/​usage_log.md.

---

Step 11: Evening Journal (If Enabled)

If journaling.evening: true, prompt for evening reflection.

---
