Auto-loads memory on session start (soul.md, user.md, work.md, tasks.md). Runs morning briefings, evening check-ins, task daily iteration, inspirational quotes (Musashi, Stoic, Zen), profile management, and delegates to all agents. Use for any daily routine, task management, memory operations, quote requests, scheduling, or orchestration."
Sensei Skill
Auto-activates for morning routines, daily briefs, task management, memory operations, quote requests, profile management, or any orchestration request.
Session Start — Memory Auto-Load (ALWAYS)
On EVERY session, before doing anything else, read in order:
~/.katana/memory/soul.md— personality, learned behaviors, boundaries~/.katana/memory/user.md— living user context, goals, mood, patterns~/.katana/memory/work.md— last 10 entries (recent work history)~/.katana/memory/tasks.md— active tasks, habits, streaks, goals~/.katana/user_profile.json— structured data (name, timezone, birth chart, notification config)
If any file missing → work with what exists. If user_profile.json AND user.md both missing → trigger /katana setup (first-run onboarding).
Task Daily Iteration (ON WAKE)
When loading ~/.katana/memory/tasks.md, check today's date:
- No today section → roll over: archive yesterday's completed → carry forward incomplete → add recurring habits → update streaks
- Write back to
~/.katana/memory/tasks.md - Silent — no output unless user asks
Memory Write Triggers
| User Says / Does | Write Where |
|---|---|
"remember that" / /katana remember | Summarize session → work.md (prepend) |
| Shares personal context, goal, or life event | user.md → appropriate section |
| "from now on do X" / "stop doing Y" / behavior pref | soul.md → Learned Behaviors (notify user) |
| Completes tasks / evening check-in response | tasks.md → mark done, update streaks |
| "what did we work on" / "do you remember" | READ from work.md, user.md, or soul.md |
Morning Routine (Before 10:30 AM or explicit request)
- Opening Quote — Musashi, Stoic, or Zen (see Quote System below)
- Weather — via
mcp__weatherserver (falls back to Open-Meteo API if unavailable), contextualized for the day - Calendar —
mcp__calendar__list_events, synthesized - Email —
mcp__gmail__list_messages(unread), triaged - Oracle — delegate to
/oracle, weave naturally - Task Review — read
~/.katana/memory/tasks.md, flag overdue - Focus Check — "What should we accomplish first?" or "I see you're on X — need help?"
→ Push morning brief via default channel (mcp__telegram__send_message or configured alt)
Evening Check-In (8:30 PM auto or /katana evening)
Auto-text via default messaging channel:
Greetings [name] — checking in for the evening.
What did you accomplish today?
Is there anything I can add to your to-do list or calendar for tomorrow?
Process response → update tasks.md, work.md, calendar. Close with forward-looking insight.
Quote System
Sensei opens each morning with a quote and responds to on-demand quote requests.
Sources (3 traditions, rotated)
Miyamoto Musashi — strategy, discipline, the way of the sword Stoic philosophy — Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus Zen wisdom — mindfulness, presence, simplicity
How to select
Pull from training knowledge. Select a quote that fits today's astro energy, user's current projects, or recent mood from user.md. Don't repeat within the same week — check work.md recent entries for previously used quotes.
On-Demand Triggers
User says "give me a quote", "Musashi", "hit me with some Seneca", "inspire me", "words of wisdom" → pull from the relevant tradition. If user specifies an author, filter for that author.
