At a glance

Produces short daily standups, evening reflections and weekly retrospectives for one person or a small team, kept in the session unless you name a place to save.

  • Works in 10 steps: Daily Solo Standup (5-Minute Check-In) → Daily Team Standup (Async) → Evening Reflection (Gratitude + Growth) → …
  • Planning a workday with a short solo check-in
  • SKILL.md covers What It Does, Session Types, Trigger Phrases and Step-by-Step Instructions, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Four session types are offered: a solo workday check-in with prompts about commitments, distractions, things to defer, energy and a success metric; an asynchronous team standup covering yesterday, today and blockers; an evening reflection on what went well, what was hard and what was learned; and a weekly retrospective with wins and losses and an optional energy map.

Depth follows what you ask for. Everything stays in the conversation by default: the skill does not save, fetch or share journal text unless you request it and name the destination, and it never claims to recall earlier entries that are not in the current context. Energy ratings use your own scale and are recorded, not diagnosed.

When your agent uses it

  • Planning a workday with a short solo check-in
  • Writing an async team standup that surfaces blockers
  • Reflecting on the day in the evening
  • Running a weekly retrospective for yourself or a small team

Example prompts

  • “Give me a five-minute standup for today. I'm a freelancer with two client deadlines.”
  • “Draft my async team standup: shipped the login fix, working on billing, blocked on API keys.”
  • “Walk me through a weekly retrospective for this week.”

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Daily Solo Standup (5-Minute Check-In)
  2. Daily Team Standup (Async)
  3. Evening Reflection (Gratitude + Growth)
  4. Weekly Retrospective
  5. Monthly Theme Generator
  6. Identify the Session Type
  7. Generate the Prompts
  8. Process the Responses
  9. Offer Optional Export
  10. Surface Action Items

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 72429e6. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Daily Standup and Journal loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 904 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Daily Standup & Journal

What It Does

Generate a structured check-in for a solo workday, team sync, reflection, or retrospective. Keep the result proportional to the user's requested depth.

Default to an in-session response only. Do not save, retrieve, or share journal content unless the user explicitly requests it and identifies the destination. Never claim to remember earlier entries that are not present in the current authorized context.

Session Types

1. Daily Solo Standup (5-Minute Check-In)

Best for: Freelancers, solopreneurs, remote workers

PromptWhy It Matters
What am I committed to finishing today?Clarifies intention
What will distract me, and how do I prevent it?Anticipates friction
What is one thing I can defer or delete?Reduces scope creep
What energy level am I at? (1-10)Captures the user's self-reported capacity without diagnosing it
What is the one metric that tells me today was a win?Creates a finish line

Format: Invite brief answers unless the user asks for a deeper reflection.

2. Daily Team Standup (Async)

Best for: Small remote teams, freelance collaborators

QuestionFocus
What did I accomplish yesterday?Progress visibility
What will I work on today?Intentionality
What blockers do I need help with?Surface roadblocks
What one thing would make today productive?Proactive planning

Pro tip: Keep responses under 3 sentences each. Use a shared doc or channel. Read everyone's before starting your day.

3. Evening Reflection (Gratitude + Growth)

Best for: Personal development, habit tracking

PromptPurpose
What went well today?Reinforce positive patterns
What challenged me?Identify growth edges
What did I learn?Consolidate insights
What would I do differently?Meta-learning
What am I grateful for?Emotional resilience
4. Weekly Retrospective

Best for: Solopreneurs, small teams, end-of-week review

Section A: Wins & Losses
| Win | Why It Mattered |
|-----|----------------|
| [event] | [impact] |

| Loss / Miss | Lesson Learned |
|-------------|----------------|
| [event] | [takeaway] |
Section B: Energy Map

If the user wants an energy map, ask them to rate each day using their own scale:

Mon: [rating] — [user observation]
Tue: [rating] — [user observation]
Wed: [rating] — [user observation]
Thu: [rating] — [user observation]
Fri: [rating] — [user observation]
Section C: Metrics Check
MetricThis WeekLast WeekΔNotes
Revenue/Bookings
Hours Worked
Deep Work Hours
Clients/Projects Moved
Section D: Next Week Commitments
  1. Start: What new habit or project begins?
  2. Stop: What drained energy or produced no value?
  3. Continue: What's working well?
5. Monthly Theme Generator

Best for: Setting direction, building momentum

PromptReflection
What word describes this month?Identify the emotional tone
What was the biggest shift?Track trajectory
What surprised me?Surface unexpected lessons
What am I most proud of?Celebrate progress
What needs more attention next month?Forward focus
One sentence to capture this month:Narrative summary

Trigger Phrases

PhraseAction
"Run my daily standup"Generates the solo standup prompts
"Quick check-in"Abbreviated standup (1-2 questions)
"Evening journal"Generates reflection prompts
"Weekly retro"Full weekly retrospective structure
"Month in review"Monthly theme and reflection prompts
"I feel stuck today"Adaptive standup focused on blockers + clarity
"End of day review"Evening reflection with gratitude
"Morning pages"Stream-of-consciousness vs structured hybrid

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Identify the Session Type

Infer solo/team, planning/reflection, and time horizon from the request. Ask one short question only when the missing choice would materially change the output; otherwise use the standard daily check-in and state the assumption.

Step 2: Generate the Prompts

Based on type, serve the relevant prompt set. Allow customization:

  • "Skip the gratitude part today"
  • "Add a question about client outreach"
  • "Make it shorter — I'm in a hurry"
Show full SKILL.md (357 more words)Show less
Step 3: Process the Responses

Summarize what the user actually supplied and distinguish observations from hypotheses:

  • Patterns: If the user supplied several entries, note repeated language and cite the relevant days.
  • Blockers: "You've had the same blocker for 2 days. Want to brainstorm a fix?"
  • Trends: Describe a possible trend only when the supplied entries support it; ask the user whether the interpretation fits.

Do not infer mood, health, sleep quality, burnout, or causes from an energy score or sparse journal entry.

Step 4: Offer Optional Export

By default, return the entry in the conversation and do not persist it. If the user asks for a rolling log, confirm the file or service, show the exact content to be written, and obtain confirmation before writing or sharing it. Do not overwrite an existing log without explicit approval.

Step 5: Surface Action Items

When the user's response supports action and they want planning help, suggest one or two concrete actions:

  • "Reserve a focus block during the user's stated high-energy period"
  • "Consider moving the Friday call if the user says that time repeatedly causes problems"

Present these as suggestions. Do not change a calendar, cancel a meeting, send a message, or share a journal without explicit authorization.

Sample Sessions

Solo Freelancer Standup

Morning Input: "Run my standup"

Output:

DAILY STANDUP

1. What are you committed to finishing today?
2. What might distract or block you?
3. What can you defer or remove?
4. What is your current energy level (optional, 1-10)?
5. What observable outcome would make today a win?
Weekly Retro

Input: "Weekly retro"

Output:

WEEKLY RETROSPECTIVE

WINS
• [Add outcomes from this week's supplied entries]

MISSES OR LESSONS
• [Add only what the user reported]

POSSIBLE PATTERNS
• [Evidence-backed pattern, or "Not enough information"]

NEXT WEEK
Start: [User choice]
Stop: [User choice]
Continue: [User choice]

Quality checks

  • Use only entries supplied in the current authorized context.
  • Keep observations separate from interpretations.
  • Do not infer health, mood, motivation, or performance from sparse entries.
  • Offer a share-ready draft only when useful; never send or expose journal content without explicit authorization.
  • Do not create a recurring review or reminder unless the user asks.
