**Daily briefing:** Pulls tasks from `~/notes/todo.md`, shows today's tasks, overdue items, and upcoming this week
**Shutdown routine:** Four steps: accomplishments review, victory lap (prompts voice journal), improvement reflection, plan tomorrow with one mandatory build/kaizen task
**Task store:** `~/notes/todo.md` (temporary; future: custom script to access task management program)
**Journal store:** Voice notes stored outside workspace (future: tool to access); assistant prompts the recording, does not save text
