dailybot-ask

A command-line way to ask the Dailybot AI assistant a question and print its answer without opening an interactive screen. Dailybot is a service for team updates and check-ins, and this command talks to its AI rather than posting a channel message.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ask questions such as what check-ins are pending and read the answer in terminal output or JSON.
Why use it?
It allows automated tools and scripts to query Dailybot without needing a terminal interface or menu.

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

dailybot-ask scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d ago.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dailybot Ask

Requires dailybot-cli >= 3.7.0 (the skill-pack baseline) — the dailybot ask command and full API-key parity on the AI chat. On much older CLIs the AI chat only exists as the interactive TUI (dailybot interactive) and requires a login session. If dailybot ask --help is not recognized, ask the developer to run dailybot upgrade. See ../SKILL.md § Required Dailybot CLI version.

You ask the Dailybot AI assistant a question and read its answer — without opening an interactive UI. This is the headless counterpart of the full-screen chat (dailybot ask with no message, or the deprecated dailybot interactive):

dailybot ask "What are my pending check-ins?"

prints the assistant's answer to stdout and exits. That makes it the primary way an autonomous agent talks to the Dailybot AI: it needs no TTY, no menu, and works with only DAILYBOT_API_KEY (the server resolves the acting user from the key's owner).

It is not:

  • dailybot-chat — that sends bot messages to Slack / Teams / Discord / Google Chat. ask talks to the AI, it does not post to a channel.
  • dailybot-report — that posts a progress update to the Dailybot dashboard.
  • dailybot-messages — that polls the agent-to-agent inbox.

When to Use

Trigger phrases the agent should recognize:

  • "ask Dailybot …", "ask the Dailybot AI …", "query Dailybot"
  • "what does Dailybot say about …", "get an answer from Dailybot"
  • "have Dailybot summarize my check-ins / forms / standup"
  • Any time an agent wants a one-shot, machine-readable answer from the Dailybot assistant to feed back into its own reasoning.

Do not use dailybot ask to post something to the team — that's dailybot-chat (chat platform) or dailybot-report (dashboard).


Step 1 — Verify Setup

Read and follow the authentication steps in ../shared/auth.md. The AI chat accepts either a login session or an org API key — an agent with only DAILYBOT_API_KEY set can use dailybot ask directly.

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.
