The shape
A personal assistant in Froots is one assistant with broad skill coverage, an opinionated context.md, and heartbeat enabled. You tell it who you are once; it tunes the rest.
Skills that pair well
- `apple-notes` / `bear-notes` / `things-mac` — native capture for whatever you already use.
- `apple-reminders` — write actionable items as reminders instead of free-form notes.
- `spotify-player` / `sonoscli` — music and speakers.
- `openhue` / `wyze` — lights, cameras.
- `weather` — current conditions and forecasts surface in briefings.
- `imsg` / `signal` — read and write in your messaging channels.
Where memory earns its keep
The context.md file is the bedrock here. It holds the durable stuff: your name, your role, the people you talk to most, your meeting cadences, what you don’t want surfaced. Every routine reads it. Heartbeat updates it.
Tune `context.md` once. Drop in things like “don’t notify me about marketing emails” or “morning briefings should mention if it’s a gym day.” The agent reads it on every turn and the behavior just changes.
A routine that ties it together
Daily 06:45. Check tomorrow’s calendar, check weather, check overnight messages from people in your contacts whitelist, queue a Spotify playlist that fits the day, and draft a one-page brief into today.md. You read it with coffee.
