Recipe: End of Day
Close out the workday by reviewing loose ends, checking pinned items, and previewing tomorrow's schedule.
Prerequisite: Read the use-spark base skill for command reference and filter syntax.
Access level required: read-only.
Steps
Step 1: Check for unreplied people mail from today
spark emails Inbox --filter "category:personal is:unread newer_than:1d"
Any unread people mail from today likely needs a response. Flag these for the user.
Step 2: Check unreplied priority mail
spark emails Inbox --filter "category:priority is:unread"
Priority items that are still unread at end of day need explicit attention or deferral.
Step 3: Review pinned items
spark emails Inbox --filter "is:pinned"
Are any pinned items now resolved? Note which ones can be unpinned so the user can clean them up in Spark.
Step 4: Preview tomorrow's calendar
spark events --tomorrow
Flag any meetings that need preparation. If a meeting needs prep, note it so the user can use recipe-meeting-prep in the morning.
Step 5: Present the summary
Report to the user:
- Loose ends: N unreplied people/priority emails (list senders and subjects)
- Pinned items: M active, K look resolved
- Tomorrow: P meetings (list times and titles), any needing prep
Tips
- This recipe is the bookend to
recipe-morning-standup- start with standup, end with this. - The goal is to surface everything the user needs to know so they can close out the day with confidence.
- If there are many unreplied items, help the user prioritize which 1-2 are most urgent.
- Reviewing pinned items prevents pin buildup - items stay pinned long after they're relevant.
- The tomorrow calendar preview helps the user mentally prepare and wake up ready for the first meeting.
