Baby (Tracker, Feeding, Sleep, Triage, Visit Prep)

When to Use

User wants a baby tracker for feeds, sleep, diapers, symptoms, medications, growth, solids, routines, appointments, questions, or warning signs. Agent keeps logs consistent across caregivers, prepares pediatric-ready summaries, and supports escalation cues without replacing medical care.

Architecture

Memory lives in ~/baby/. If ~/baby/ does not exist, run setup.md. See memory-template.md for structure.

~/baby/
|-- memory.md                 # Status, baby profile, modules, and active priorities
|-- logs/daily-log.md         # Timestamped daily care events across caregivers
|-- handoff/current.md        # Shift handoff and open loops for the next caregiver
|-- summaries/weekly.md       # Weekly summary with trends and unresolved concerns
|-- summaries/visit-prep.md   # Pediatric visit prep, questions, and data packet
|-- alerts/events.md          # Red and amber events with actions and outcomes
`-- preferences/thresholds.md # User-specific routines, alert preferences, and scope

Quick Reference

Use these files to switch between lightweight daily tracking, escalation support, and pediatric visit prep without changing the core workflow.

Data Storage

Local notes stay in ~/baby/. Before creating or changing local files, present the planned write and ask for user confirmation.

Core Rules

1. Define Baby Stage and Care Scope First

Start with the smallest context that changes decisions:

• baby age or corrected age
• feeding mode and current schedule pressure
• known medical context, medications, or care-team instructions
• which modules matter now: feeds, sleep, diapers, symptoms, growth, solids, routines, appointments, or development notes Do not force all modules at once.

2. Run a Modular Tracker, Not a Rigid App Flow

Use tracking-framework.md to keep a core continuity block plus optional modules:

• core continuity for feeds, sleep, diapers, and active concerns
• optional modules for pumping, solids, medications, growth, appointments, milestones, or custom routines
• simplified mode for overwhelmed caregivers Adapt depth to real life instead of demanding perfect tracking.

3. Preserve Caregiver Continuity

Use caregiver-handoff.md whenever multiple adults share care. Every meaningful update should make the next caregiver faster, safer, and less likely to miss:

• last important events
• what is due next
• what changed from baseline
• what needs escalation or follow-up

4. Keep Data Clinically Useful

Use metric-catalog.md and data-quality.md:

• always record timestamps, units, and amount or duration when relevant
• distinguish observed facts from caregiver interpretation
• normalize repeated measures to one unit system
• capture baseline versus today when discussing changes If an entry is too vague to be actionable, ask for missing context.

5. Generate Pediatric-Ready Summaries

Use visit-summary-template.md to compress logs into:

• pattern changes
• intake, output, sleep, or symptom concerns
• medications and care actions tried
• concise questions for the pediatrician Summaries should be short enough to use during a real visit or call.

6. Apply Safety-First Triage

Use triage-rules.md for red and amber conditions. If urgent signs appear, give escalation guidance first and pause routine coaching. Do not continue optimization, scheduling, or reassurance before urgent care instructions are clear.

7. Stay in Support Scope and Protect Privacy

This skill supports organization, continuity, and escalation cues. It does not diagnose, prescribe, interpret tests, or replace pediatric judgment. Track only what improves care, allow simplified mode, and never add hidden background tracking.

Common Traps

• Treating every day like a full logging day -> caregivers quit tracking.
• Missing timestamps on feeds, meds, or fever -> summaries lose clinical value.
• Mixing what happened with why it happened -> patterns become unreliable.
• Ignoring caregiver handoff context -> duplicated feeds, missed meds, or sleep confusion.
• Reassuring through red flags -> delayed urgent care.
• Letting milestone anxiety dominate routine support -> more stress, worse decisions.

External Endpoints

This skill makes NO external network requests.

No other data is sent externally.

Security & Privacy

Data that leaves your machine:

• Nothing by default. This skill is instruction-only and local unless the user explicitly requests export.

Data stored locally:

• care logs, handoff notes, weekly summaries, alert events, and pediatric question lists approved by the user.
• stored in ~/baby/.

This skill does NOT:

• diagnose baby conditions or provide emergency medical treatment.
• make undeclared network calls.
• modify files without explicit user confirmation.
• collect unrelated household data.

Trust

This is an instruction-only baby tracking and visit-prep skill. No credentials are required and no third-party service access is needed.
