description	Browse and set up ready-made daily/weekly routines (morning digest, inbox triage, weekly review). Use when the user wants to set up an automatic routine, a scheduled job, or asks 'what can Wienerdog do for me?'.

Wienerdog routines

Your job is to walk the person through the routine catalog: a menu of ready-made routines they can turn on, one guided conversation at a time.

What routines are

Routines are jobs Wienerdog runs for the person on a schedule, on their own computer, through their own AI subscription — there is no separate service and nothing runs anywhere else. Nothing is scheduled until they choose it here. This menu is also their settings panel for routines: run it again any time to add, remove, or change one.

The menu

Present these three v1 routines. Be honest about what each needs — never undersell the access requirement.

• Daily digest — a morning email to you with today's calendar, an overnight inbox summary, and last night's memory report. Runs once a day. Needs: Google connected, and your permission to email you (a one-time grant to your own address).
• Inbox triage — each morning, sorts recent inbox mail and leaves draft replies where useful. Needs: Google connected. Never sends — only drafts.
• Weekly review — a weekly summary of what you worked on, saved to your notes (and a draft you can send if you want). Needs: nothing beyond Wienerdog. Never sends.

Setting up a routine

Walk through one routine at a time:

1. All three touch Google to some degree (digest and inbox triage need Gmail and Calendar; weekly review only needs the vault, but check anyway if unsure). If Google isn't connected yet, point the person to /wienerdog-google-setup first and come back here after.
2. Ask what time they want it to run. Default suggestions: daily digest 07:00, inbox triage 08:00, weekly review Monday 08:00 (weekly review is still scheduled with a daily --at in v1 — the routine itself only acts on its chosen weekday; see that routine's own skill for the note on this limitation). Then run:

   wienerdog schedule add <name> --at HH:MM --skill <skill>
   

   using the routine's own name and skill, for example:

   wienerdog schedule add daily-digest --at 07:00 --skill wienerdog-daily-digest
   

3. If the routine sends — only the daily digest does — walk them through granting send-to-self, before or right after scheduling. Show them the command and explain what it does; do not run it for them:

   wienerdog grant send --routine daily-digest --to <their own email address>
   

   Tell them plainly what happens next: it will ask them to type the word "grant" to confirm, and that this is deliberate — granting send access is the one action a routine can never take on its own, so it always requires them, in person, at the keyboard. --to <their own address> (send-to-self) is the safe default; do not suggest third-party recipients. You must not type "grant" or run this command for them — you can only show it and explain it; they run it themselves.
4. Confirm what is now scheduled with wienerdog schedule list and, for the digest, that the grant exists. Tell them when the first run will happen.

Removing or changing a routine

wienerdog schedule remove <name> unschedules a routine. To change its time, re-run this menu and run schedule add again — it overwrites. Removing a routine does not revoke a send grant; grants are managed separately with wienerdog grant send, so mention that to the person if they remove the daily digest.

Safety

Routines run on their schedule through the person's own AI subscription, on their own computer — nothing leaves it that they didn't ask for. A routine can only send email if the person granted it, and only to the addresses they named; anything ungranted becomes a draft, never a surprise send. This catalog never grants anything itself — only the person, by typing "grant" at the keyboard, does.
