Daily Wrap

Daily Wrap

Consolidate all of today's sessions and prepare for the next day. This is the heavier end-of-day pass; /close handles a single session.

Step 1: Find all of today's sessions

1. Check notes/daily-summaries/closing-DDMMYYYY.md (standard format).
2. Check for split files: closing-DDMMYYYY-session2.md, closing-DDMMYYYY-*.md.
3. In a team workspace, also check the current user's folder:

notes/daily-summaries//closing-DDMMYYYY*.md.

If you find files in a non-standard format, rename them to closing-DDMMYYYY.md.

Step 2: Consolidate sessions

If there are multiple sessions, write one unified TL;DR at the top of the file (Done / Pending / Next). Merge separate session files into the single closing-DDMMYYYY.md and move the originals to _archive/. Never delete — archive.

Step 3: Update context

Update brain/context.md:

• New key decisions and status changes.
• Remove completed items; add new pending tasks.
• context.md is a snapshot of current state, not a log.

Then sweep brain/contexts/: for any file whose updated: is older than 7 days, reconcile it against the matching section of context.md and refresh it. This is the safety net for quick sessions where /close didn't propagate.

Step 4: Prepare tomorrow (workdays only)

If tomorrow is a working day, create notes/daily-summaries/prep-DDMMYYYY.md:

# Prep DD/MM/YYYY

## Start Here
**First thing to do:** [one concrete, executable action]

## Top 3 Priorities
1. **[Priority]** — Why: [reason] — First action: [what to do]
2. **[Priority]** — Why: [reason] — First action: [what to do]
3. **[Priority]** — Why: [reason] — First action: [what to do]

## Carryover
- Done: [quick wins]
- In progress: [active threads]
- Decisions: [to remember]

## Watch Out
- [Blockers, external dependencies, deadlines]

If tomorrow is a weekend, skip the prep file and note in the closing: "Weekend ahead — priorities resume Monday."

Step 5: Persist to memory

Save the day's durable facts to auto memory following the memory skill's house style: key decisions (with absolute dates), lessons learned, recurring patterns, strategy changes. Save only what stays useful in future sessions — the closing report already holds the full history.

Step 6: Confirm

Report: sessions consolidated, files updated, and tomorrow's first action.

Rules

1. One file per day — consolidate, no fragments.
2. Archive, never delete.
3. context.md is the source of truth — keep it current.
4. Date format DDMMYYYY — 8 digits, always.

Quick mode

If the user says "daily wrap quick": skip Step 4 (prep) and Step 5 (memory), write a minimal TL;DR, update only the essential context.md lines.
