Daily Startup

Structured morning ritual that creates periodic notes, surfaces what carried forward from yesterday, checks the inbox, and locks in today's focus.

Ask, Don't Assume

Shared principle (canonical version in the vault skill): never guess, deduce, or fill gaps with assumptions about the user's notes, priorities, or intent. If you don't know — a date range, what counts as a win, which goals are active — ask. Before writing any synthesis or judgment into a note, show your draft with its source and get explicit confirmation. Missing data is not permission to invent.

Step 1 — Create Periodic Notes (no confirmation needed)

Performance rule: batch all existence checks in parallel, then batch all template fetches in parallel, then create. Minimize round-trips.
