Project Overview: daily


I decided to formalize daily as a lightweight, file-driven executive briefing workflow: the output stays short and operational, and behavior is controlled through editable docs (AGENTS.md, DAILY_BRIEFING.md) instead of adding new services or orchestration layers.

What We Built

  • A working project focused on producing a concise daily executive summary.
  • A doc-driven runtime model where scheduled briefing behavior is configured in DAILY_BRIEFING.md.
  • Guardrails for multi-session operation, including explicit cross-project delegation expectations.
  • A practical memory-oriented workflow that prioritizes durable context over ad hoc session-only decisions.

Why We Built It

  • I optimized for speed and reliability in day-to-day use: concise outputs, minimal moving parts, and clear operator rules.
  • Recent changes show the direction clearly: 0fe896e (“Add daily briefing runtime configuration”) and 81f86d6 (“Enforce cross-project status delegation workflow”) both reduce ambiguity during routine runs.
  • Session activity was concentrated around memory integration and workflow hardening, which indicates the real risk was inconsistency between sessions, not missing features.
  • Keeping control in editable markdown makes behavior easy to audit and adjust without rebuilding infrastructure.

How It Works

  • The project’s intent is defined in AGENTS.md: produce a short executive summary with fixed structure (overview, priorities, wins, blockers, next actions).
  • Scheduled-run behavior is treated as live config in DAILY_BRIEFING.md; normal behavior changes happen there first.
  • Operational state is maintained through documented memory practices (MEMORY.md) so future sessions can recover context and continue consistently.
  • The current implementation footprint is intentionally small (docs, scripts, and briefing config), which keeps iteration fast and failure modes easy to reason about.
