x-daily-briefing

Goal

Generate a daily briefing section in obsidian/Timatron/GTD/_DAILY.md that assesses the last week's health data from TimTracker:

• Sleep: Average hours, consistency, trends
• Exercise: Total minutes, workout types, frequency
• Diet: Average health score (1-10), trends
• Mindfulness: Total minutes, consistency

Prerequisites

1. TimTracker API key must be configured at ~/.config/timtracker/config.json:

{
  "api_url": "https://timtracker-api.vercel.app",
  "api_key": "your-gpt-api-key-here"
}

The api_key is the GPT_API_KEY configured in Vercel for the TimTracker API.

Step 1 — Fetch weekly health data

Run the Python script to fetch data and generate the briefing:

cd ~/brain/git/personal/agent-instructions
poetry run python scripts/daily_briefing.py

The script will:

1. Fetch the last 7 days of health data from /api/weekly-summary
2. Generate a markdown briefing with assessments for each category
3. Output the briefing to stdout

Step 2 — Add briefing to daily document

Take the script output and add it to obsidian/Timatron/GTD/_DAILY.md:

1. Read the current contents of _DAILY.md
2. Find today's section (header ## YYYY-MM-DD) or create one if it doesn't exist
3. Add a ### Health Briefing subsection with the generated content
4. If a Health Briefing section already exists for today, replace it

Section format

## YYYY-MM-DD

### Health Briefing

#### Sleep
[Assessment of sleep quality, hours, consistency]

#### Exercise  
[Assessment of workout frequency, duration, types]

#### Diet
[Assessment of nutrition scores and trends]

#### Mindfulness
[Assessment of mindful minutes and consistency]

#### Summary
[Overall health assessment and recommendations]

Goals and Targets (for assessment)

Use these targets when evaluating the data:

Category	Target	Notes
Sleep	7-8 hours/night	Consistency matters more than occasional long sleeps
Exercise	150+ min/week	Mix of cardio and strength preferred
Diet	Score 7+/10	Higher scores indicate healthier eating
Mindfulness	10+ min/day	Any amount is beneficial

Assessment Guidelines

When generating assessments:

1. Be specific — Use actual numbers from the data
2. Note trends — Is the metric improving, declining, or stable?
3. Acknowledge gaps — Missing data days are worth noting
4. Be encouraging — Frame feedback constructively
5. Keep it brief — 2-3 sentences per category max

Troubleshooting

API key not found: Ensure ~/.config/timtracker/config.json exists with valid credentials.

No data returned: Check that data exists in TimTracker for the date range. The API may return nulls for days without data.

Authentication errors: Verify the API key is correct and hasn't expired.
