/day-to-day

v0.6 · Updated Sep 30, 2026

AI makes a lot of things fast and a lot of things possible, but coming up with and figuring out what the next logical high-value task is, and evaluating its ROI versus its short-term value, is a challenge.

Kickoff prompt

Review this app for /day-to-day. How am I doing right now? Tell me whether I can see the work, what is on staging, and what is in production.

Subskills

Open the one that matches the tool you're already using.

  • Tools I use

    Infisical

    aka Infisical.com

    Where secrets live once they leave a .env file or a hosted builder.

  • On the workbench

    GitHub

    The repo's Actions. They are signals for observability and scalability. A workflow that names main is not a maturity mark.

  • On the workbench

    ImprovMX

    Off-brand domain mail. Aliases forward into the Gmail you already use.

  • On the workbench

    PostHog

    Product analytics, from a public session through to a known user.

  • On the workbench

    Postmark

    Product email. The send path, the template, and where the send key lives.

  • On the workbench

    Resend

    Product email in the same job as Postmark. Common when an app was vibe-coded.

Five things this rule looks for

  1. Code leaves your machine with no repeatable way to package it.
  2. There is no staging site, so you cannot see the build before it is the live one.
  3. Production is a manual step, and you cannot tell what was deployed.
  4. AI work lands in the repo, and you cannot see it move from staging to production.
  5. You cannot tell which version is on staging, and which version is in production.
