Orchestrator Skill

Overview

Coordinates daily planning and task management by integrating health data with work priorities. Acts as the central hub for morning routines and energy-aware scheduling.

USE WHEN

•User mentions: "plan", "prioritize", "what should I", "today", "this week"
•User requests morning briefing or daily planning
•Start of work day (automatic trigger option)
•User asks "What should I work on?"
•Energy-based task prioritization needed
•Session starts (via hook)

Dependencies

Required Skills

•HealthInsight - Provides readiness and energy context
•TaskRouter - Handles task classification and routing
•Finance - For relevant alerts (future)

Required MCP Tools

•Oura MCP (via HealthInsight)
•WorkOS MCP (task management)

+-------------------------------------------------------------+
                            |
                            v
+-------------------------------------------------------------+
|  4. DAILY BRIEF GENERATION                                  |
|     - Combine health + tasks into briefing                  |
|     - Include streak and progress info                      |
|     - Provide actionable recommendations                    |
+-------------------------------------------------------------+

Workflows

•MorningStart - Complete morning briefing
•EnergyAwareRouting - Task filtering by energy
•workflows/WeeklyReview.md - Pattern analysis and planning (future)

Tools

•tools/state_manager.py - Read/write current_state.md

Morning Briefing Structure

•Readiness score and energy recommendation
•High-priority pending tasks (max 3)
•Calendar conflicts or deadlines
•Financial alerts (if any)
•Suggested focus for the day

Decision Framework

When asked "what should I do?":

•Check readiness score -> Set available task complexity
•Pull pending tasks from TaskRouter
•Filter by energy-appropriate complexity
•Present top 1-3 options with rationale
•DO NOT overwhelm with full list

Configuration

morning_brief:
  auto_trigger: false  # Set true for automatic morning activation
  trigger_time: "07:00"
  include_health: true
  include_tasks: true
  include_habits: true

State Management

Session State

python

orchestrator_state = {
    "morning_brief_completed": False,
    "current_energy_level": None,  # low/moderate/high
    "adjusted_daily_goal": None,
    "tasks_suggested": [],
    "last_health_check": None
}

Persistence

•Energy state logged to WorkOS
•Daily goal adjustment persisted
•Briefing completion tracked

Response Formats

Full Morning Briefing

code

Good morning! Here's your daily briefing:

## Health & Energy
{HealthInsight.DailyBriefing output}

## Today's Focus
{Energy-filtered task list}

## Progress
- Streak: {streak_days} days
- Yesterday: {yesterday_points}/{yesterday_goal} points
- Today's goal: {adjusted_goal} points

## Quick Actions
- [Start first task]
- [Log energy override]
- [View all tasks]

Quick Task Suggestion

code

Based on your {energy_level} energy today:

Suggested next task:
{top_task_title}
- Client: {client_name}
- Value: {value_tier}
- Est. cognitive load: {cognitive_load}

{3-4 alternative tasks if available}

Error Handling

Missing Oura Data

python

if not oura_data_available:
    return {
        "fallback": "manual_energy_prompt",
        "message": "Couldn't fetch Oura data. How's your energy today?",
        "options": ["low", "moderate", "high"]
    }

No Active Tasks

python

if not active_tasks:
    return {
        "message": "No active tasks. Would you like to:",
        "options": [
            "Pull from queued tasks",
            "Review backlog",
            "Create new task"
        ]
    }

Mode-Specific Behavior

Recovery Mode (readiness < 50)

•Show only 1 task max
•Emphasize rest recommendation
•Block new task creation prompts

Maintenance Mode (readiness 50-70)

•Show 2 tasks
•Prefer routine over complex
•Gentle pacing reminders

Productive Mode (readiness > 70)

•Full 3 tasks
•Suggest tackling hardest first
•Enable all capabilities

Examples

Morning Trigger

code

User: "Good morning"

Orchestrator detects morning greeting, initiates:
1. HealthInsight.DailyBriefing
2. WorkOS task fetch with energy filter
3. Goal adjustment
4. Combined briefing output

Task Request

code

User: "What should I work on?"

Orchestrator:
1. Check cached energy state (or fetch fresh)
2. Get energy-aware tasks
3. Return prioritized suggestions

Mid-Day Energy Check

code

User: "I'm feeling more energetic now"

Orchestrator:
1. Log energy override via WorkOS
2. Recalculate task suggestions
3. Optionally readjust daily goal
