Daily

The morning operating system. Sync all inputs, read everything, surface what matters.

1. Sync Inputs

Run available sync scripts (if configured):

# Check which sync scripts exist
ls "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT/.alive/scripts/"*-sync.* 2>/dev/null

Common syncs: Gmail, Slack, Fathom (meeting transcripts). Each writes to 03_Inbox/.

2. Check Inbox

find "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT/03_Inbox" -type f -not -name ".*" 2>/dev/null | wc -l

If files exist, list them with routing suggestions.

3. Read All Active Walnuts

For each non-archive walnut, read _kernel/now.json. Extract:

• Phase, blockers, urgent + active task lists, health signal

4. Check Unrouted Stash

cat "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT/.alive/stash.json" 2>/dev/null

Present any pending items grouped by destination walnut.

5. Check Unsaved Sessions

Scan .alive/_squirrels/ for entries with saves: 0. These sessions may have lost work.
