What Am I Missing

Surface risks, blind spots, overlooked items, and accountability across all areas.

What to Check

1. Commitment Risks

From context/commitments.md:

Overdue items
Items at risk (due soon, no progress)
Patterns of slippage
Cascading delays

2. Relationship Risks

From people/ files:

Cooling relationships (60+ days)
Unfulfilled promises to key people
Sentiment shifts detected
Key relationships not nurtured

3. Waiting Risks

From context/waiting.md:

Overdue items from others
Critical dependencies at risk
Patterns (chronic late deliverers)

4. Pattern Risks

From context/patterns.md:

Recurring issues not addressed
Blind spots observed
Capacity concerns
Self-limiting patterns

5. Strategic Risks

Looking at the bigger picture:

Important-but-not-urgent items being neglected
Opportunities cooling
Decisions being avoided

6. Data Consistency Check

Cross-reference memory DB against file state to catch divergence:

Run claudia memory recall "project status commitments" --project-dir "$PWD" --limit 10
Compare recalled statuses (interview completion, deliverable state) against file-based trackers
For any active project with a dashboard/README tracker, grep actual file statuses and compare to stated counts
Flag contradictions: "Memory says X is completed, but tracker shows it outstanding" (or vice versa)
Recommend correction path: update the stale source to match the authoritative one

This step catches the scenario where an interview/task was processed but only some status sources were updated.

Output Format

## What You Might Be Missing - [Date]

### Commitment Risks

**Overdue:**
- [Item] was due [date] - [impact]

**At Risk:**
- [Item] due [date] - [concern]

### Relationship Risks

**Cooling:**
- [Person] - last contact [X] days ago
  -> Was: [relationship context]
  -> Risk: [what could happen]

**Open Loops:**
- Promised [thing] to [person] - [status]

### Waiting Risks

**Overdue from Others:**
- [Item] from [person] - expected [date]
  -> Impact: [why this matters]
  -> Suggested action: [what to do]

### Pattern Risks

- [Pattern] - seen [X] times recently
  -> Concern: [why it matters]
  -> Suggestion: [what to consider]

### Strategic Blind Spots

- [Thing being neglected]
  -> Why it matters: [impact]
  -> Suggestion: [action]

### By Relationship

#### [Person/Client Name]
**I Owe:**
- [Item] - due [Date]

**They Owe:**
- [Item] - since [Date]

[Repeat for key relationships with open items]

**Recovery Actions:**
- [Overdue item]: [What to do now]

### Data Consistency

- [Source A] says [X], but [Source B] says [Y]
  -> Authoritative source: [which one and why]
  -> Fix: Update [stale source] to match

### Summary

Critical: [X items need immediate attention]
Watch: [Y items to keep an eye on]
Consider: [Z strategic things to think about]
Consistency: [N data mismatches found across sources]

Tone

Matter-of-fact, not alarmist
Specific, not vague
Actionable suggestions
Prioritized by importance
Respectful of user's judgment

When to Use

When feeling overwhelmed and wanting perspective
Before important planning sessions
When something feels "off" but unclear what
As a regular check-in (weekly or biweekly)

Usage Variations

Full analysis: Comprehensive review across all risk categories and relationships.

For specific person: /what-am-i-missing [person name] Filters to only show commitments and risks involving that person.

Quick overdue only: /what-am-i-missing overdue Shows only overdue items and immediate recovery actions.

Quick check: Major risks only, no deep analysis.
