Daily Summary

SkillDev tools

Generate a daily system activity summary across all joelclaw subsystems. Triggers on 'daily summary', 'what happened today', 'system report', 'today's tally', 'activity summary', 'what did we do', 'daily report'.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the Daily Summary skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by joelhooks/joelclaw in skills/daily-summary/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Generate a comprehensive daily activity report across all joelclaw subsystems.

Data Sources

Collect from ALL of these:

1. Git commits

# joelclaw repo
cd ~/Code/joelhooks/joelclaw && git log --oneline --since="$(date +%Y-%m-%d)T00:00:00" --no-merges

# Vault
cd ~/Vault && git log --oneline --since="$(date +%Y-%m-%d)T00:00:00" --no-merges

2. Inngest runs

joelclaw runs --count 200 --hours 24

Summarize: total, completed, failed, unique functions. Flag any failures.

3. K8s cluster state

kubectl get pods -n joelclaw --no-headers

Note any new deployments, restarts, or unhealthy pods.

4. Codex sessions

Count sessions created today. Note which were gateway-dispatched vs standalone.

5. OTEL events

joelclaw otel stats --hours 24

6. ADR changes

cd ~/Vault/docs/decisions && git log --oneline --since="$(date +%Y-%m-%d)T00:00:00" --no-merges -- .

Count: new ADRs, status changes, grooming activity.

7. Discoveries

Check for discovery/noted events in recent Inngest runs.

8. Brain / observation activity

joelclaw otel search "memory.observe|observations" --hours 24

9. Worker deploys

Query canonical OTel for deploy actions today:

joelclaw otel search "deploy" --hours 24

10. Durable system changes

Use OTel for runtime configure/install evidence, then check relevant Brain .svx receipts and source-control history for durable changes:

joelclaw otel search "configure|install" --hours 24

Output Format

Concise, structured. Group by category:

  • Code — commit count + highlights per repo
  • Infrastructure — deploys, new services, config changes
  • Inngest — run stats, failure rate
  • Agents — codex sessions, pi sessions
  • ADRs — new, groomed, status changes
  • Knowledge — discoveries, Brain/observation activity
  • K8s — cluster health, new pods

For Telegram: use HTML tags, keep mobile-friendly. For CLI: return HATEOAS JSON with summary object.
