Daily Workflow Skill (English Version)\r

\r Manage daily work sessions with automated project documentation tracking and AI-to-AI handover support.\r \r

When to Use This Skill\r

\r Trigger this skill when the user mentions:\r

  • "starting work" / "start of day" / "let's begin" - Starting the work day\r
  • "ending work" / "end of day" / "wrapping up" - Ending the work day\r \r These phrases indicate intentional work session boundaries where project state should be captured and restored.\r \r

Core Workflow\r

\r

Phase 1: Start Work Session\r

\r Execute the following sequence when the user indicates work is starting:\r \r

  1. Ensure Docs Directory Exists\r
    • Check if Docs/ directory exists in workspace root\r
    • Create Docs/ if it does not exist\r \r
  2. Check and Create Required Files\r
    • Verify these five files exist in Docs/:\r
      • PROJECT_TARGET.md - Project objectives and goals\r
      • PROJECT_STATUS.md - Current project status\r
      • COMPLETED_JOBS.md - Completed work items\r
      • PENDING_JOBS.md - Pending/incomplete work items\r
      • NEXT_STEPS.md - Planned next steps\r
    • Create any missing files with appropriate template headers\r \r
  3. Read All Documentation\r
    • Read all five files from Docs/\r
    • Extract key information:\r
      • Current project objectives\r
      • Latest project status\r
      • Recently completed work\r
      • Pending tasks and blockers\r
      • Planned next steps\r \r
  4. Present Work Session Briefing\r
    • Summarize current project state\r
    • Highlight completed work since last session\r
    • Identify pending tasks\r
    • Suggest priority work for current session\r
    • Ask user for confirmation or adjustments to the plan\r \r

Phase 2: End Work Session\r

\r Execute the following sequence when the user indicates work is ending:\r \r

  1. Update Completed Jobs\r
    • Append today's completed work items to Docs/COMPLETED_JOBS.md\r
    • Use format: `## [YYYY-MM-DD]\
  • [completed item 1]\
  • [completed item 2]`\r
    • Include sufficient detail for another AI to understand what was done\r \r
  1. Update Pending Jobs\r
    • Update Docs/PENDING_JOBS.md with:\r
      • Tasks started but not completed\r
      • Blockers encountered\r
      • Tasks deferred to next session\r
    • Remove completed items from pending list\r \r
  2. Update Project Status\r
    • Update Docs/PROJECT_STATUS.md with:\r
      • Current completion percentage\r
      • Key milestones reached\r
      • Current focus area\r
      • Any changes in project direction\r \r
  3. Update Project Target (if needed)\r
    • Modify Docs/PROJECT_TARGET.md only if:\r
      • Project objectives have changed\r
      • New requirements discovered\r
      • Scope adjustments needed\r
    • Otherwise, leave unchanged\r \r
  4. Update Next Steps\r
    • Write clear, actionable next steps to Docs/NEXT_STEPS.md\r
    • Include:\r
      • Specific tasks to tackle next session\r
      • Priority order\r
      • Any prerequisites or dependencies\r
      • Context needed to resume work immediately\r \r
  5. Present Session Summary\r
    • Summarize what was completed\r
    • List updated documentation files\r
    • Confirm next steps are clearly documented\r
    • Ensure handover-ready state for next AI\r \r

File Templates\r

\r When creating missing files, use these templates:\r \r

PROJECT_TARGET.md\r

# Project Target\r
\r
## Project Overview\r
[Describe the project's main objective]\r
\r
## Key Goals\r
- [Goal 1]\r
- [Goal 2]\r
\r
## Success Criteria\r
- [Criterion 1]\r
- [Criterion 2]\r
\r

```\r
\r
### PROJECT_STATUS.md\r
```markdown\r
# Project Status\r
\r
## Current Status\r
[Brief description of current state]\r
\r
## Completion\r
[XX]% complete\r
\r
## Current Focus\r
[What is being worked on now]\r
\r
## Recent Milestones\r
- [YYYY-MM-DD] [Milestone description]\r
\r
## Last Updated\r
[YYYY-MM-DD]\r
```\r
\r
### COMPLETED_JOBS.md\r
```markdown\r
# Completed Jobs\r
\r
## [YYYY-MM-DD]\r
- [Completed task 1]\r
- [Completed task 2]\r
\r
## [YYYY-MM-DD]\r
- [Completed task 1]\r
```\r
\r
### PENDING_JOBS.md\r
```markdown\r
# Pending Jobs\r
\r

```\r
\r
### NEXT_STEPS.md\r
```markdown\r
# Next Steps\r
\r
## Immediate Actions (Next Session)\r
1. [Action 1 - with context]\r
2. [Action 2 - with context]\r
\r
## Upcoming Tasks\r
- [Task 1]\r
- [Task 2]\r
\r
## Notes for Next AI\r
[Important context, decisions made, things to remember]\r
```\r
\r
## AI-to-AI Handover Principles\r
\r
Write all documentation assuming the next reader will be a different AI instance that needs to:\r
- Understand what was being built and why\r
- Resume work without asking basic questions\r
- Continue the same coding style and conventions\r
- Respect decisions already made\r
\r
**Key practices:**\r
- Write in detail, not shorthand\r
- Explain the "why" not just the "what"\r
- Include code snippets or file references when relevant\r
- Note any workarounds, hacks, or technical debt\r
- Record user preferences and decisions\r

## Important Notes\r
\r
- Always use absolute paths when referencing `Docs/` directory\r
- Append to `COMPLETED_JOBS.md` (never overwrite previous entries)\r
- Overwrite `NEXT_STEPS.md` each session (it's for the immediate next session)\r
- Preserve historical information in `PROJECT_STATUS.md` and `COMPLETED_JOBS.md`\r
- When in doubt, write more context, not less\r
- This skill supports both English and Chinese trigger phrases for flexibility\r
Usage Guidance
This skill appears safe for normal use as a local project documentation helper. Before installing, understand that it will create and update files under Docs/ and may preserve context for future AI handoff. Do not put secrets, tokens, private credentials, or sensitive personal information in those handover files.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: daily-workflow-en Version: 1.0.0 The skill is a project management tool designed to track work progress and maintain context between AI sessions by managing markdown files in a local 'Docs/' directory. It does not exhibit any signs of data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or malicious prompt injection, and its operations are strictly limited to file system interactions within the workspace for documentation purposes (SKILL.md).
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is daily start/end workflow management, and the instructions consistently focus on reading and updating project documentation in a Docs/ folder.
Instruction Scope
The skill tells the agent to create and update specific Markdown files when the user indicates work is starting or ending; this is purpose-aligned but does mutate workspace files.
Install Mechanism
No install spec, code files, binaries, environment variables, or credentials are declared; the artifact is instruction-only.
Credentials
The requested environment access is limited to a Docs/ directory in the workspace root and appears proportionate to the project-documentation purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill deliberately creates persistent handover documentation for later AI sessions, including preferences and decisions, so users should avoid storing secrets or overly sensitive context there.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install daily-workflow-en
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /daily-workflow-en
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
