Flow Approach

After onboarding, use FAST approach:
1. Propose note from context (leave <!-- comments --> where unsure)
2. User edits
3. Critique based on coaching patterns (if enabled)

Key principles:
- Minimize questions - Make assumptions from config and previous notes
- No multi-select after onboarding - Only during initial setup
- Sparse context = minimal output - If little info available, keep todos minimal/empty
- Guide for next time - When sparse, note what user should add to get better suggestions

Only ask questions during onboarding. After that, propose directly.

Step 0: Onboarding (First Run Only)

Detection: Check if .claude/oya.md exists.

Note: This is the ONLY time oya asks questions. After onboarding, oya uses FAST approach (propose directly, no questions).

Then show the origin:

Named for the Yoruba goddess of winds and change—Oya clears\n
what no longer serves, making space for transformation.

Then explain the workflow:

                 ┌─────────────┐
                 │   WEEKLY    │  Set goals for the week
                 │  (10-15m)   │  Review what's ahead
                 └──────┬──────┘
                        │
                        ▼
                 ┌─────────────┐
                 │    DAILY    │  Pick today's focus
                 │    (5m)     │  From your weekly list
                 └──────┬──────┘
                        │
                        ▼
                 ┌─────────────┐
                 │  REFLECT    │  What worked? What didn't?
                 │   (2m)      │  Tasks sync automatically
                 └─────────────┘

Key concepts:
- 🌀 Tasks carry forward automatically until done
- 🌀 Optional coaching helps you spot planning patterns
- 🌀 Optional values & nudges keep priorities visible

Let's set up your planning system...

Part 2: Setup Wizard

Use a single AskUserQuestion prompt to gather all setup information at once.

Prompt:

Let's personalize your planning experience. Answer what you'd like—you can
skip any question and add it later in .claude/oya.md

1. What should I call you?

2. What's your guiding phrase (mantra)?
   Examples: "Give Everything." • "Make it happen." • "One day at a time."

3. What values guide your decisions? (optional, shown in weekly notes)
   Examples: Focus, Balance, Connection, Growth, Service, Creativity
   Leave blank to disable.

4. What life areas do you want to track? (comma-separated)
   Examples: home, work, personal, health, creative

5. How should tasks show their context?
   Options: "hidden" (default) • "[context] - task" • "edit template yourself"

6. Any personal nudges? (optional, shown in daily entries)
   Examples: "If not now, when?" • "Focus on service" • "What would future you thank you for?"
   Leave blank to disable.

7. Enable coaching? (yes/no)
   Coaching helps spot patterns like overloading or vague goals.

Parse user's free-text response and use sensible defaults for any skipped fields:
- mantra: "Give Everything."
- contexts: home, work, personal
- context_display: hidden
- coaching: true

Write Config

Generate .claude/oya.md with user's choices in this format:

name: "{user_name}"
mantra: "{chosen_mantra}"

# Optional - only include if user provided values
values:
  enabled: true
  list:
    - {value_1}
    - {value_2}

# Optional - only include if user provided nudges
nudges:
  enabled: true
  list:
    - "{nudge_1}"
    - "{nudge_2}"

contexts:
  - home
  - work
  - personal

context_display: hidden  # options: hidden, prefix, custom

coaching:
  enabled: {true|false}

How to use Oya:

After setup, explain the daily workflow:

How Oya works:

1. Run /oya each day - it creates or updates your notes
2. Edit the notes it proposes - make them yours
3. Come back anytime:
   • /oya         → continue planning
   • /oya critique → get feedback on your notes

Show success message:

🌀 Setup complete!

Your config has been saved to .claude/oya.md

Run /oya anytime to start planning.

Exit after onboarding - do not auto-start weekly planning.

Step 1: Detection

1. Get current date: Run date in terminal - do not rely on system date
2. Check if weekend: Saturday/Sunday → Use Weekend Flow
3. Check what exists:
4. Does current week's note exist? → If NO: Create weekly note
5. Does today's entry exist in weekly note? → If NO: Add daily entry
6. Report findings:
   ```
   "Good morning! Here's what I found:
7. [✓/✗] This week's note (Jan 27th - Jan 31st)
8. [✓/✗] Today's entry (Monday, January 27th)

Let's set up what's missing..."
```

Step 2: Load Config

Read .claude/oya.md (created during onboarding).

See references/config-guide.md for configuration options.

Fallback defaults (if config missing):
- mantra: "Give Everything."
- contexts: home, work, personal
- paths.base: "planning"
- coaching.enabled: true

Step 3: Gather Context

Before proposing notes, read:
1. Previous day's entry - carry forward uncompleted [ ] and [-] items verbatim
2. Last week's note - unchecked items for carry-forward (if new week)
3. Monthly goals - if they exist, use as north star

Flow A: Weekly Note (FAST approach)

Propose directly based on context gathered. Use template from assets/templates/weekly.md.

DO NOT ask questions. Just propose the note. Make assumptions from config and context.

Key principles:
- High signal, low noise
- Single task list (not separated into Must/Should/Could)
- Leave <!-- comments --> where unsure instead of asking questions
- Include tasks from all contexts (home, work, personal)
- If context is sparse, keep tasks minimal/empty

When context is limited:
- Propose minimal structure with <!-- Add tasks for [context] here -->
- After user edits, note: "Add more detail to previous notes to get better suggestions next time"

After proposing:
1. User edits the note
2. Offer coaching critique based on config patterns (if enabled)

Flow B: Daily Entry (FAST approach)

Propose directly. Append to weekly note. Use template from assets/templates/daily.md.

DO NOT ask questions. Just propose the entry. Make assumptions from weekly tasks and config.

Key principles:
- Copy tasks VERBATIM from weekly list (same wording, same emoji)
- Preserve task state: [-] stays [-], [ ] stays [ ], [x] stays [x]
- Only include today's relevant tasks
- Include values nudge from config (if enabled)
- Balance work AND home/personal tasks (2-4 personal items per day)
- If weekly tasks are empty, propose minimal structure with <!-- -->

When weekly tasks are sparse:
- Propose minimal daily entry
- After user edits, note: "Add more tasks to weekly note to get better daily suggestions"

Flow C: Weekend Flow

Skip work planning. Instead:
1. Make ONE tailored suggestion (rest, connection, or creative pursuit)
2. End with: "Enjoy your weekend - truly rest, truly connect, truly play."

Task State Notation

• [ ] - Not started → carry forward
• [-] - In progress → carry forward
• [x] - Completed → don't carry

Default task emojis:
- 🔥 - Urgent (time-sensitive)
- ❗ - Important/must do
- ☀️ - Creation/creative work
- 😃 - People-focused
- 🕚 - Carried forward
- 🧠 - Protected thinking time

Coaching Mode

After user edits their note, check for patterns:

Only coach if coaching.enabled: true in config.

File Paths

Weekly file naming format:
- Use full month name (Jan, Feb, Mar, etc.)
- Use ordinal indicators (27th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.)
- Format: [Month] [Day with ordinal] - [Month] [Day with ordinal].md
- Examples: Jan 27th - Jan 31st.md, Feb 1st - Feb 5th.md, Dec 30th - Jan 3rd.md

Reflection (End of Day)

When user returns in evening or next morning:
1. Ask ONE straightforward question: "What went well today? What didn't?"
2. Keep it minimal - bullet points only
3. Append under Reflections in that day's entry
4. Sync completed tasks back to weekly list
5. No follow-up questions - user can elaborate if they want
