| description | Run the user's daily vault harvest cycle: YouTube transcripts → voice captures → daily enrichment → phone calls → inbox processing. Each sub-skill is idempotent, so re-runs are safe. Use when the user says "do my daily stuff", "run my dailies", "daily cycle", "morning run", "run the daily", or similar.

Daily Cycle
Orchestrates the user's recurring vault harvest workflow. Each step delegates to an existing skill and is safely idempotent — re-running mid-day is fine.
Order (fixed)
- process-youtube-transcript — must run first so inbox-processor's enrichment gate doesn't hold back YouTube clippings
- obsidian-capture — voice notes into daily note
- obsidian-enrich-daily — git/photos/journal breadcrumbs (includes 7-day lookback for missed days)
- icloud-calls — phone transcripts into inbox
- inbox-processor — interactive (stops for user approval before filing)
Execution
For each step in order:
- Announce: print
▶ Step N/5: <skill-name>
- Run the skill via the Skill tool (e.g.
Skill("process-youtube-transcript")). Each sub-skill handles its own vault-operator delegation for model routing — don't invoke agents directly from here.
- Wait for completion and capture the sub-skill's summary.
- Report one line back to the user:
✓ Step N: <one-line summary> or ⚠ Step N: <what failed>.
- Continue even on soft failures (e.g. "No captures to process", "No unprocessed transcripts"). Only halt on hard failures — missing CLI, unreachable vault, permission errors — and report which step blocked.
After step 4, pause and announce: ▶ Step 5/5: inbox-processor — this is interactive. Proceeding to categorize… — then run inbox-processor normally. It will present a filing plan and wait for user approval before Phase 2.
Idempotency guarantees
Each sub-skill is safe to re-run:
- youtube —
ai-processed frontmatter list skips already-enriched notes
- capture — timestamp dedup on
**HH:MM:SS** in daily note + cp /dev/null clear is idempotent
- enrich-daily — per-host run history +
>= re-journal filter; missed days backfilled within 7-day window
- icloud-calls — Apple Notes ID tracked in
zz_config/skill_history/icloud-calls.md
- inbox-processor — only moves notes the user approves in the current run
If you re-run mid-day and there's nothing new, each step reports "nothing to do" and the cycle completes quickly.
Edge cases
- Obsidian not running: Step 2 preflight fails. Report and stop the cycle — remaining steps all need the CLI.
- User interrupts at step 5: That's normal. Steps 1-4 already wrote their output; nothing to roll back.
- Partial run resumption: Just re-run
/daily. Idempotency ensures completed steps become no-ops.
Final report
After all steps complete (or the cycle halts), print a compact summary table:
| # | Skill | Result |
|---|----------------------|---------------------------------|
| 1 | youtube | 2 transcripts enriched |
| 2 | capture | 4 voice notes → 2 daily notes |
| 3 | enrich-daily | 3 days backfilled |
| 4 | icloud-calls | 1 new transcript |
| 5 | inbox-processor | 7 filed, 2 held back |
