Not another PKM starter kit. This is an execution system that connects your 3-year vision to what you do today — and holds you accountable with AI.
3-Year Vision ──→ Yearly Goals ──→ Projects ──→ Monthly Goals ──→ Weekly Review ──→ Daily Tasks

/project new
(the bridge layer)
Every layer connects. /daily surfaces your ONE Big Thing from the weekly review. /weekly shows project progress. /monthly checks quarterly milestones. /goal-tracking knows which goals have no active project. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Daily Notes/YYYY-MM-DD.md/dailyMorning — /daily creates today's note, shows your week's ONE Big Thing and active project next-actions. You pick your focus.
Evening — /daily summarizes which goals and projects got attention today. Unlinked tasks get flagged.
Sunday — /weekly reads all your daily notes, scans project status, calculates goal progress, and helps you plan next week. Optional agent team mode parallelizes the collection.
End of month — /monthly rolls up the weekly reviews, checks quarterly milestones against yearly goals, and sets next month's priorities.
Ad hoc — /project new creates a project linked to a goal. /project status shows a dashboard. /review auto-detects the right review type based on context.
