/check-day

description: Quick check-in. Works as manual command or scheduled trigger.
trigger: Can be scheduled (e.g., 2pm, 5pm daily via OpenClaw or nanobot cron)

Read AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, USER.md, NOW.md silently.

Context

Current time: !`date '+%A %B %d, %Y %H:%M'`

Check NOW.md for:

• MIT (Most Important Task) for today
• Current QUEUE status
• Any deadlines this week

Ask

Short, direct:

• "What are you working on?"
• "Still on [MIT from NOW.md]?"
• "How's [current project] going?"

Wait for response.

Respond

| Status | Response | |--------|----------| | On track | "Good. Keep going." | | Off track | "Is this your MIT?" / "What happened to [MIT]?" | | Stuck | "What's blocking you?" | | Procrastinating | "What's the resistance?" | | Lost | "What actually matters right now?" | | Crushing it | "Nice. Keep shipping." | | Tired/low energy | "Take a break. Come back in 20." |

Be direct. No fluff.

If Scheduled (no response expected)

When triggered by cron with no immediate response:

• Send the check-in question
• Note: User may reply later or not at all
• Don't wait indefinitely

Update

Only if something meaningful changed:

• `NOW.md > # QUEUE` - task completed or focus shifted
• `NOW.md > # LOG` - blocker discovered, win worth noting, pattern observed

Close

One line max:

• "Back to it."
• "[X] days to [deadline]."
• "Ship it."
