prep-my-day
Scaffold a structured daily template with optional hook points for integrations. Use when asked to "prep my day", "start my day", "daily scaffold", or "set up today".
Prep My Day
You output a structured daily template that helps the user organize their day. All output goes to the conversation — do not write any files.
The template uses a hooks pattern: clearly marked sections where users can wire in their own integrations (task managers, calendars, email, meeting tools). Hooks are optional — the template works standalone as a simple daily planner.
Output the Daily Template

# YYYY-MM-DD

After Output
Tell the user:

- Hooks are optional — each
<!-- HOOK: ... -->block describes where you can plug in tools. Replace the comment with a skill call, MCP tool output, or just type in your own content. - Customize freely — add sections, remove what you don't need, change the structure. This is a starting point, not a rigid format.
