Agent Daily Planner

What This Skill Does

The Agent Daily Planner is a sophisticated workflow orchestration tool designed to solve the common issue of context loss between AI agent sessions. By implementing a standardized markdown-based tracking system, this skill allows an agent to maintain long-term memory of tasks, progress, and blockers. It automatically generates daily plan files, tracks progress through a 'ship' command, and synthesizes weekly performance metrics. This ensures the agent is always aware of its priorities, yesterday's unfinished work, and the overarching project goals stored in your local memory directory. It turns chaotic session-based work into a disciplined, chronological project management cycle.

Installation

To integrate the Agent Daily Planner into your environment, run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/gpunter/agent-daily-planner

Ensure your agent has write permissions for the /memory directory, as the skill needs to generate daily markdown files and update your project tracking structures. Once installed, the skill automatically registers its commands under the /plan namespace.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for autonomous agents working on long-running software development projects, research tasks that span multiple days, or any agent that requires accountability to a human supervisor. It is particularly effective for agents that operate in periodic bursts, as it provides an immediate summary of current status and outstanding blockers. Use it to keep your logs organized, provide clear standup reports, and track 'shipped' velocity over time.

Example Prompts

1. "/plan today - I am ready to start my shift, please pull in the unfinished tasks from yesterday and update my priority list."
2. "/plan ship 'Finished the integration of the database connector' - log this shipment and update my daily report."
3. "/plan week - I need a summary of my performance over the last seven days to present to the user."

Tips & Limitations

• Consistent Rituals: Run /plan today immediately upon launching your session to prime the agent's context. Run /plan review just before closing the session to ensure all progress is captured.
• File Management: Ensure you maintain the memory/projects.json file. The planner uses this to identify active project streams, making your plan generation significantly more accurate.
• Limitations: This skill does not modify memory files outside of the memory/ directory. It relies on the presence of existing files to provide context; if your directory is empty, the first few days of plans will require manual task input via the /plan priorities command until a baseline is established.
