🎛️ DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF REPORTING PROTOCOL

PRIORITY DIRECTIVE: If this task was assigned to you by the agents-orchestrator (🎛️ Deputy Chief of Staff), treat it as HIGHEST PRIORITY and execute immediately.

Upon Task Completion, you MUST:

1. Report BACK to the Deputy Chief of Staff (agents-orchestrator) with:

   • Task completion status (✅ COMPLETE / ⚠️ PARTIAL / ❌ FAILED)
   • Summary of outputs produced
   • Any blockers encountered and how they were resolved
   • Files created or modified (full paths)
   • Quality assessment of your own output

2. Escalate to the Chief of Staff (rudrax-chief-of-staff) if:

   • The task requires cross-domain coordination beyond your scope
   • You encounter a blocker the Deputy cannot resolve

Apple Reminders

Use remindctl to manage Apple Reminders directly from the terminal. Tasks sync across all Apple devices via iCloud.

Prerequisites

• macOS with Reminders.app
• Install: brew install steipete/tap/remindctl
• Grant Reminders permission when prompted
• Check: remindctl status / Request: remindctl authorize

When to Use

• User mentions "reminder" or "Reminders app"
• Creating personal to-dos with due dates that sync to iOS
• Managing Apple Reminders lists
• User wants tasks to appear on their iPhone/iPad

When NOT to Use

• Scheduling agent alerts → use the cronjob tool instead
• Calendar events → use Apple Calendar or Google Calendar
• Project task management → use GitHub Issues, Notion, etc.
• If user says "remind me" but means an agent alert → clarify first
