Integration
SessionStart Hook
When you start a new session, Life OS automatically:
1. Loads this skill to remind you of available capabilities 2. Restores context from previous sessions (meal plans, preferences, active tasks) 3. Checks for pending briefings and scheduled tasks 4. Suggests next actions based on time of day and your routine
This ensures seamless continuity across conversations without needing to repeat preferences or context.
Cross-Skill Coordination
Skills work together automatically:
- meal_planning → grocery-shopping: Meal plans automatically feed into shopping lists
- recipe-finding → meal_planning: Found recipes can be added to weekly plans
- whatsapp-message-management → All Skills: Briefings include relevant updates from all skills
- personality_assessment → All Skills: Preferences guide interaction style across all features
