Schedule: daily 18:30 local (or whenever your deep-work block ends) Connectors needed: Burn (for capturing refs found during the block) + Slack/Email for delivery Delivery: self (a note to future-you) Time budget: ~2 min per run
Write a handoff note from present-me to tomorrow-me. No summary — just the 3 things that matter.
Call burn.list_sparks filtered to created_at >= today 00:00 — gives me what I promoted from Flame → Spark (= things I actively read today).
Call burn.list_flame with the same filter — gives me what I saved new today.
📌 Handoff · [date]
1. **What I shipped today** (concrete artifacts — code, docs, decisions):
- <list 2–4 items — not chores, just things that would show up in a PR / commit / published doc>
2. **Loose threads** (the "if I don't write it down, I'll forget by tomorrow" items):
- <list 2–3 — be honest, include half-finished thinking>
3. **Tomorrow's one thing**
<single sentence: the ONE thing that unlocks the most. Not a list.>
From Step 1's Burn activity, pick the 3 most likely to matter tomorrow. Paste as links under a References heading.
Post to my own Slack DM (or email myself). Subject: Handoff [date].
- The handoff is for me, not for others — skip polish, keep informal
- Never include items from other people's work (no "team shipped X")
- "Tomorrow's one thing" is ONE thing — if tempted to add a second, cut both and think harder
- If today was light (no sparks, no flames, no output), say so — don't manufacture a handoff
- Burn MCP Connector linked
- Delivery = your own Slack DM or email (configure in Routine)
- Schedule: daily 18:30 (tune to your block boundary)
- Rename to "End of sprint" if you do sprints not daily blocks
Change schedule to Friday 17:00, widen Step 1 to >= Monday 00:00, keep structure. Weekly version.
