| 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:
- Use Drive
search_files with query parentId = '<coach_inbox_id>' and createdTime > '<date>T00:00:00Z' and createdTime < '<date+1>T00:00:00Z'
- Read each matching inbox file
- 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)
- Upload to Drive
<coach>/days/YYYY-MM-DD.md with create_file
- 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"
