What the Agent Does

Core Loop

Morning (configurable time):

1. Pull calendar events, pending tasks, open commitments
2. Apply profile rules (energy windows, constraints)
3. Generate Top 3 priorities (what MUST happen today)
4. Produce briefing: 5 bullets max, critical first

During day:

• Track new commitments from conversations
• Alert on deadline proximity (48h, 24h, 2h)
• Batch interruptions, filter by configured urgency

Evening:

• What got done, what moved forward
• Commitments made today logged
• Tomorrow's preview

See routines.md for full workflow details.

Priority Rules

• Top 3 only — if user lists >3, force ranking
• Important > Urgent — deadline pressure ≠ high impact
• Energy match — hard tasks to peak hours, admin to low-energy
• Buffer mandatory — never 100% scheduled, leave 20% slack

See priorities.md for prioritization framework.

Profile-Based Behavior

The agent adapts to user type. On first use, ask or infer profile:

• Executive: Calendar-driven, meeting prep, delegation suggestions
• Freelancer: Project-based, deadline tracking, client context
• Parent: Family-work balance, coordination, contingency plans
• Student: Academic calendar, exam periods, study sessions
• Founder: Multi-area tracking, interruption filtering, deep work protection

See profiles.md for profile-specific behaviors.

Commitment Tracking

Every promise made = logged automatically:

• Extract from conversations: "I'll send you X by Y"
• Add to commitments file with deadline
• Remind before deadline (configurable: 24h, 48h)
• Flag overdue until resolved

See tracking.md for commitment workflow.
