Habits & Streaks

How it works

The mechanics of this kit, plainly — what runs and when, where the data lands, and what you look at.

• Evening nudge runs every evening · 9pm and keeps the Streaks dashboard fresh. One card in the evening, only about what you have not mentioned.
• Weekly review runs sundays · 7pm and keeps the Streaks dashboard fresh. Sundays — marks what you are keeping, and draws the weeks.
• What is captured lands in the Habit register record, which lives at Data/Habit Register in your vault — yours to open, search, and edit like any other file.
• What is captured lands in the Habit log record, which lives at Data/Habit Log in your vault — yours to open, search, and edit like any other file.
• The Streaks dashboard reads from the record and shows, at a glance: check-ins · keeping vs slipping · still open today · how the weeks have gone · your habits · every check-in.

The wiring, in one breath: Habit capture writes to Habit log · Habit tune writes to Habit register · Habit log shown by Streaks · Habit register shown by Streaks · Streaks kept fresh by Weekly review · Habit capture given to Tally · Habit tune given to Tally · Tally runs Evening nudge.

Make it yours

Nothing here is fixed. The pieces are ordinary agents, routines, records and dashboards, so anything you know about shaping those applies. Retire whatever earns nothing.

Things people usually change first

Say any of these in chat, or edit them on the kit’s page in the app.

• Which habits are on the register, how often each is meant to happen, and which are paused.
• What time the evening card arrives, or turning it off and just mentioning things as they happen.
• Whether Sunday marks habits keeping or slipping at all.
• How much it says back when you log something — a word, or nothing.

Your first run

Installing starts a short setup conversation — not a form. Answer roughly, correct later.

1. Adding it starts a short conversation about the handful of things you are trying to do more of — and it will push back once if you head past about five, because a register of fifteen is one nobody keeps.
2. After that there is nothing to open. Say "went for the run" in the middle of any conversation and it lands against the right habit.
3. The evening card asks once about anything you have not mentioned, all in one line. Ignore it and nothing happens — there is no second ask.
4. Retiring a habit is a normal thing to do here. Say so and it is marked paused, stops being asked about, and keeps its history.

Watch the first pass, then tell it what you would have done differently — that correction teaches it more than any setup could.

The essentials

Learning, preferences and run costs work the same in every kit — so they are covered once, in the Kits guide.
