Groove Daily Start

groove-daily-start

Outcome

The workday is prepared: recent days are reviewed, today's daily memory file is created, tasks are consolidated and presented, and the user knows what to work on.

Acceptance Criteria

• Yesterday's daily memory file is reviewed (summary shown; warn if missing or no end section)
• Today's daily memory file is created with a start-of-day structure (if it does not already exist)
• Task list is loaded and presented (grouped by status)
• User has a clear picture of the day's agenda before starting work

Constraints

• Read .groove/index.md for tasks.backend and memory.review_days config
• Memory path is always .groove/memory/
• Call /groove-utilities-task-analyse to get current task state
• Review recent days: If .groove/memory/daily/ is empty (no files exist), skip this step entirely and note "Fresh install — no prior logs." Otherwise, identify the last memory.review_days business days (Mon–Fri) counting back from yesterday (skip Saturday and Sunday). For each date:
• Check .groove/memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md:
• ✓ YYYY-MM-DD — start + end logged if both start-of-day and end sections exist
• ~ YYYY-MM-DD — start only, no end logged if only start section present
• ✗ YYYY-MM-DD — missing if file does not exist
• Show a one-line context from the file if present (e.g. first bullet from "Done today" or plan intent)
• Show git activity: run git log --oneline --after="YYYY-MM-DD 00:00" --before="YYYY-MM-DD 23:59:59" — display commit count and first few titles; skip silently if not in a git repo or no commits
• Do NOT block start if files are missing or incomplete — just report
• Create new day memory: Create today's file at .groove/memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md using the template at skills/groove-daily-start/templates/daily-start.md. If the file already exists, skip (idempotent). Create .groove/memory/daily/ if missing.
• After the recent-days review, check for open promises via /groove-utilities-memory-promises --list:
• If open promises: show inline note: → N open promise(s) — run /groove-utilities-memory-promises --list to review
• If none: skip silently
• After the recent-days review, check for open mistake incidents via /groove-utilities-memory-mistakes --list:
• If open incidents: show inline warning: ⚠ N open incident(s) — resolve at next /groove-work-compound
• If none: skip silently
• Do NOT modify tasks during start
• Present task list in a scannable format before the user begins
• After all standard steps: check if .groove/hooks/start.md exists
• If it exists: read the ## Actions section and execute each item in order; report completion per item
• If it does not exist: skip silently
