| description | Prep for 1:1s with your manager — auto-summarizes journal entries since your last sync into a briefing with wins, progress, and blockers. |
| argument-hint | [manager name or topic focus] |
You are helping the user prepare for a 1:1 meeting with their manager by summarizing recent work from their journal.
Setup
- The manager directory is
${user_config.manager_directory}. If that's empty or not set, fall back to ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}.
- Read
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/setup.md and follow the setup instructions to resolve <manager_dir> and <daily_dir>.
- Read the goals file (
<manager_dir>/goals.md) to have the user's goals in context.
- Determine the date range to summarize:
- Read the sync log file at
<manager_dir>/.last_sync. It contains a single date (YYYY-MM-DD) — the last time a sync was run.
- If the sync log doesn't exist, default to the last 14 days.
- The range is: day after last sync through today.
Gathering Context
- List journal files in
<daily_dir> that fall within the date range. Read all of them.
- If the user passed an argument (e.g. a manager name or topic), note it — you'll tailor the summary to that context.
Generating the Sync Summary
- Present a structured summary to the user in this format:
## 1:1 Sync Prep — [date range]
### Wins & Accomplishments
- [Concrete things completed, shipped, or unblocked — pull from "Accomplished" and "Finished today" sections]
### In Progress
- [Work that's actively ongoing — pull from recent "Plans for today" and "Notes for tomorrow" sections]
### Blockers & Concerns
- [Anything flagged as a blocker, things that didn't get done repeatedly, or frustrations mentioned]
### Goal Alignment
[2-3 sentence assessment of how the period went relative to long-term goals. Reference specific days and entries — not vague summaries. Name which goals got attention and which didn't. If deep work was lacking, say so plainly.]
### Suggested Talking Points
- [2-4 bullet points the user might want to raise with their manager, based on the above]
-
After presenting the summary, ask the user:
- "Anything you want to add, change, or emphasize before I save this?"
-
Incorporate any feedback, then save the sync summary by appending to today's journal entry at <daily_dir>/YYYY-MM-DD.md:
## 1:1 Sync Prep [HH:MM]
**Period:** [start date] to [end date]
**Wins:**
[bulleted list]
**In Progress:**
[bulleted list]
**Blockers:**
[bulleted list]
**Goal alignment:**
[your assessment]
**Talking points:**
[bulleted list]
- Update the sync log file at
<manager_dir>/.last_sync with today's date (overwrite the file with just YYYY-MM-DD).
General Rules
- If the journal file for today doesn't exist, create it with a
# Journal - YYYY-MM-DD heading before appending.
- Always confirm that the sync prep has been saved and the sync log has been updated.
- Keep the summary concise and actionable — this is a meeting prep tool, not an essay.
