Recipe: End of Day

Close out the workday by reviewing loose ends, checking pinned items, and previewing tomorrow's schedule.

Prerequisite: Read the use-spark base skill for command reference and filter syntax.

Access level required: read-only.

Steps

Step 1: Check for unreplied people mail from today

spark emails Inbox --filter "category:personal is:unread newer_than:1d"

Any unread people mail from today likely needs a response. Flag these for the user.

Step 2: Check unreplied priority mail

spark emails Inbox --filter "category:priority is:unread"

Priority items that are still unread at end of day need explicit attention or deferral.

Step 3: Review pinned items

spark emails Inbox --filter "is:pinned"

Are any pinned items now resolved? Note which ones can be unpinned so the user can clean them up in Spark.

Step 4: Preview tomorrow's calendar

spark events --tomorrow

Flag any meetings that need preparation. If a meeting needs prep, note it so the user can use recipe-meeting-prep in the morning.

Step 5: Present the summary

Report to the user:

• Loose ends: N unreplied people/priority emails (list senders and subjects)
• Pinned items: M active, K look resolved
• Tomorrow: P meetings (list times and titles), any needing prep

Tips

• This recipe is the bookend to recipe-morning-standup - start with standup, end with this.
• The goal is to surface everything the user needs to know so they can close out the day with confidence.
• If there are many unreplied items, help the user prioritize which 1-2 are most urgent.
• Reviewing pinned items prevents pin buildup - items stay pinned long after they're relevant.
• The tomorrow calendar preview helps the user mentally prepare and wake up ready for the first meeting.
