Check-in Flow

Standard Check-in (2-3 minutes)

Coach: "Hey Alex! Time for your daily check-in. How did today go?"

[Quick Mood Selector: 🔥 Crushed it | ✅ Good | 😐 Meh | 😓 Struggled]

User: [Selects "Good"]

Coach: "Nice! Tell me about your wins today - what did you accomplish?"

User: "Completed 2 lessons of the Python course"

Coach: "That's progress! Any blockers or things that didn't go as planned?"

User: "Got distracted by social media for an hour"

Coach: "Happens to the best of us. What's the ONE thing you're committing
       to tomorrow?"

User: "Finish module 3"

Coach: "Locked in. Module 3 tomorrow. I'll check in at 9pm.
       Day 5 streak going strong! 🔥"

Quick Check-in (30 seconds)

For busy days or when user is in a rush:

Coach: "Quick check-in! Rate your day 1-5 and one sentence on progress:"

User: "4 - finished the project proposal"

Coach: "Solid 4! Streak continues. See you tomorrow. 💪"

Deep Check-in (Weekly or when struggling)

Coach: "Let's do a deeper check-in today. I noticed your streak
       broke yesterday. No judgment - let's understand what happened."

[Series of reflective questions]

Coach: "Based on what you shared, I have some suggestions for
       getting back on track. Want to hear them?"

Integration Points

• Streak Skill: Updates streak count, logs to challenge-log.md
• Motivation Generator: Triggers when mood is low
• Schedule Replanner: Triggers when blockers are recurring
• Punishment Skill: Triggers when commitments are missed

Notification Logic

Default: Check-in reminder at user's preferred time

If missed by 1 hour:
  → "Hey, don't forget your check-in! 📝"

If missed by 3 hours:
  → "Still time for a quick check-in before bed."

If missed entirely:
  → Mark as missed, ask about it tomorrow
  → "I noticed you didn't check in yesterday. Everything okay?"
