Procedure

Post today's question (cron)

python3 ~/.hermes/skills/daily-reflection/scripts/daily.py --prompt-daily

Prints the question to stdout and sends it via iMessage, and inserts an idempotent row in daily_checkin.

Record the user's reply

python3 ~/.hermes/skills/daily-reflection/scripts/daily.py --record "USER_REPLY_TEXT"

Updates today's daily_checkin row with reply and replied_at. Prints Reflection recorded. on success.

Run the weekly synthesis (cron, Friday only)

python3 ~/.hermes/skills/daily-reflection/scripts/daily.py --synthesize-weekly

Gathers the past 7 days of check-ins, project_log wins + blockers, and recent Honcho conclusions; calls the LLM for a structured recap + 3-paragraph reflection; writes the reflection to Honcho; sends a single iMessage with the recap and reflection.

If no check-ins, wins, or blockers exist for the week, prints No reflection data this week. and skips the Honcho write.
