SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Deciding what to work on across multiple projects requires manually checking notes, plans, Todoist, and PRs. This Skill automates that daily prioritization by gathering a fixed budget of signals and writing a stable BRIEFING.md with a Top 3, risks, and ready-to-run handoffs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Daily Briefing Generation: Reads project registries, progress notes, STATUS.md files, active openspec changes, and Todoist tasks to produce a prioritized BRIEFING.md, either cross-project or for a single project. - Reconciliation & Risk Surfacing: Detects milestone work missing from Todoist, stale plans, recurring blockers, and merged-but-unarchived changes (via capped gh pr view calls), flagging them under Risks. - Handoff Prebaking: Creates progress-file handoffs with goals, context pointers, and coarse todos that can be executed later via /pavilio-resume. - Use Case: A developer juggling five client projects runs /pavilio-manager each morning to get one briefing file showing today's Top 3, overdue Todoist items grouped by project, and stale threads — without the agent digging into code itself. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run /pavilio-manager to generate today's cross-project briefing from your notes, plans, and Todoist tasks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a daily briefing across multiple projects?▼

Run /pavilio-manager with no arguments for cross-project mode, or pass a project name for a single-project advisor view. It reads notes, plans, and Todoist within a fixed budget and overwrites a stable BRIEFING.md you return to each day.

How does the briefing sync with Todoist tasks?▼

Todoist is treated as the source of truth for milestones: completed tasks drop out of focus, and milestone work missing from Todoist is flagged with a warning. After presenting the brief, it asks one confirm question to create the missing tasks in the mapped Todoist project.

Can it check Jira tickets automatically?▼

No, Jira is never queried proactively. Only when a note or task explicitly references a ticket key does it ask a single yes/no question before touching the Atlassian MCP, and it proposes a Todoist task instead if Jira is unavailable.

Does pavilio-manager edit code or project files?▼

No, it is guidance-only by design. It never edits code, PROJECT.md, STATUS.md, or notes, and it delegates discovery work through prebaked handoff files rather than researching deeply itself.

What happens to open items between daily briefs?▼

Nothing is silently dropped: every open item from the previous BRIEFING.md must reappear in the new one, moving from Top 3 to Open items if deprioritized. Items only leave when their Todoist task is done or the user explicitly drops them.
