daily-consolidate

name	daily-consolidate
description	At end of day (or weekly review), synthesize the day's inbox entries and conversations into one consolidated day file per coach, push to Drive. Reduces inbox clutter and creates a clean per-day historical record.

Skill: daily-consolidate

Multiple phone conversations per day generate multiple inbox entries. This skill consolidates them into one clean day file per coach, providing a coherent narrative of "what happened today" without forcing future Claude to read 7 small inbox files.

When to invoke

• User-triggered: "consolidate today", "day review", "wrap up today" via brain alias or any coach
• Implicit cadence: At the end of each evening session (Mac coach CLAUDE.md may suggest if many inbox entries exist for today)
• Weekly-review skill: Calls this for each day in the past week

Inputs

• Date to consolidate (default: today)
• Vault/.claude/drive-config.json — folder IDs

Algorithm

For each coach with activity today:

1. Use Drive search_files with query parentId = '<coach_inbox_id>' and createdTime > '<date>T00:00:00Z' and createdTime < '<date+1>T00:00:00Z'
2. Read each matching inbox file
3. Synthesize a single-coach day file:
   • Group by topic (class, conditioning, reflection, etc.)
   • Compress repetition (if same topic appears 3 times, merge)
   • Surface cross-day patterns (only if obvious from this day's entries)
4. Upload to Drive <coach>/days/YYYY-MM-DD.md with create_file
5. Also write a local copy at Coaches/<coach>/days/YYYY-MM-DD.md (creates Mac-side cache)

After running

• Note in user-facing response: "Consolidated N inbox entries from into a day file."
• Suggest: "Want me to run snapshot regeneration to push fresh context to phone?"

Don't

• Don't delete inbox files (connector can't; they accumulate, that's fine)
• Don't moralize ("you skipped a day, you should...")
• Don't manufacture themes if the day was quiet
• Don't run for future dates or dates with no inbox entries
• Don't run for the current day if it's still active (under 18:00, e.g.) — wait for end-of-day signal

Why this matters

Without consolidation, the inbox grows unboundedly and phone Claude has to read many small files. Consolidation gives:

• One file per day per coach = clean history
• Less cognitive load when reviewing
• Inbox stays scoped to "untriaged" rather than "everything ever"
