Routine: End-of-focus-block handoff

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


Prompt

Write a handoff note from present-me to tomorrow-me. No summary — just the 3 things that matter.

Step 1 — Pull today's Burn activity

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.

Step 2 — Write a 3-part handoff

📌 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.>

Step 3 — Append references

From Step 1's Burn activity, pick the 3 most likely to matter tomorrow. Paste as links under a References heading.

Step 4 — Deliver

Post to my own Slack DM (or email myself). Subject: Handoff [date].

Rules

  • 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

Setup checklist

  • 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

Variation: sprint handoff

Change schedule to Friday 17:00, widen Step 1 to >= Monday 00:00, keep structure. Weekly version.
