what-have-we-done-today

what-have-we-done-today is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from asimons81/hermes-field-kit. It costs 23 tokens per session (1,372 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A manual daily recap that gathers activity from sessions, kanban boards, and scheduled jobs into an append-friendly Markdown log. A kanban board tracks work such as completed, running, blocked, and ready items.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps answer what happened today, review completed and open work, check running or blocked tasks, inspect cron activity, and close out the day.
Why use it?
It brings scattered work from a busy day into one readable summary, including unfinished tasks and scheduled jobs that ran or failed. It runs when requested rather than creating a recurring job.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

what-have-we-done-today scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/today_sessions.py, tests/test_contracts.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What Have We Done Today

Overview

A manual, on-demand daily recap for any Hermes installation. It scans three local surfaces for today's activity — sessions (default profile plus every named profile, all sources), kanban boards (done today, running, blocked, todo/ready), and cron stores (jobs that ran, errored, are running now, or are due today) — then writes a plain append-friendly daily markdown log the user can read to remember what happened and what is still open.

Stdlib Python only. Read-only on all databases (mode=ro); the only write is the daily markdown file in the recap directory. It is intentionally NOT a cron job: it runs when a human actually wants the recap (tired, stoned, context-switch heavy, or closing out the day).

When to Use

  • "What have we done today?" / "Recap today" / "What did I get up to today?"
  • The user lost track of a busy multi-project day and wants the threads pulled together.
  • Before shutting down for the night: capture progress + leftovers.

Counter-triggers — do NOT load this skill when:

  • The user asks about a specific past session or topic (use session search).
  • The user wants a recurring scheduled recap (this skill is manual-only).
  • The user wants to mutate sessions, kanban cards, or cron jobs.

Workflow

  1. Scan all three surfaces. Invoke through the terminal tool: python3 ~/.hermes/skills/productivity/what-have-we-done-today/scripts/today_sessions.py --excerpts Output: sessions grouped by profile (time, source, title, counts, goal/outcome hints), then kanban per board (done today, ▶ running, ✋ blocked, todo/ready counts), then cron (ran today with ❌ on errors, ▶ running now, ⏳ due today after an error).
  2. Separate the signals. User-facing session sources are desktop, cli, telegram. kanban sessions are worker lanes (generic titles — outcome comes from the excerpt, not the title). Cron ❌/⏳ rows are real breakage candidates; running executions are work happening right now.
  3. Drill where it matters. session_search reads only the current profile's DB; use it for ambiguous or high-stakes default-profile sessions. For sessions from profiles/*/state.db, the scanner's excerpts are the cheap evidence.
  4. Split Done vs Open. Done = a verified outcome (session excerpt, kanban done-today card, cron ok run). Open = kanban ▶/✋/todo cards, cron ❌/⏳ rows, sessions with no resolution. Never infer completion from a session merely existing.
  5. Pull open items (optional). --ledger FILE lists non-completed items from a task ledger JSON: {"items": [{"id", "title", "status", "next_action", "updated_at"}]}. Statuses other than completed / cancelled count as open.
  6. Write the log. Target $RECAP_DIR/YYYY-MM-DD.md (default ~/.hermes/daily-recaps/); create the directory if missing. Create the file with a # YYYY-MM-DD heading if absent; otherwise append a ## Daily recap — HH:MM section with Done / In flight / Needs attention bullets. Re-runs the same day append new sections.
  7. Brief the user. Compact and ranked: ✅ Done today, 🟡 Still open, ⛔ Needs you, Next pick. Include @session:default/<id> links for anything they might reopen.

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
