# Habits and Novelty — Project Status

**Linear:** MIN-1315
**Status:** Planning
**Created:** 2026-02-20

---

## Two Tracks

### 🎲 Track 1: Novelty Challenges (bi-monthly)
Something John wouldn't normally do.

- **Frequency:** Every other month
- **Setting:** Conversational (tell Minna anytime) + Minna prompts at period start
- **Calendar:** Yes — put the item on the calendar
- **Tracking:** Did it? When? Reflection logged
- **Woven into:** Morning/evening/weekend/week planning if active item needs attention

### 🌱 Track 2: New Healthy Habits (quarterly)
A new healthy habit added per quarter — cumulative, all stay active.

- **Frequency:** New one every 3 months
- **Setting:** Conversational + Minna prompts at quarter start
- **Calendar:** No
- **Tracking:** Cumulative list — ALL habits tracked, not just current quarter's
- **Woven into:** Planning cycles to check "still doing all of them?"

## John's Existing Items (to populate at build time)

John has an existing list of:
- Already-done novelty items
- Upcoming novelty candidates
- Established habits
- Upcoming habit candidates

*To be collected in a follow-up conversation.*

---

## Build Plan

### Phase 1: State Schema + Seed Data
- [ ] Design `habits-novelty-state.json` schema
- [ ] Populate with John's existing items

### Phase 2: Core Skill
- [ ] `workspaces/main/skills/habits-and-novelty/` SKILL.md + index.js
- [ ] Conversational triggers (set, mark done, reflect, list)
- [ ] Read/write state file

### Phase 3: Planning Cycle Integration
- [ ] Inject into morning/evening/weekend/week-planning skills
- [ ] Novelty: highlight if item is due or past due
- [ ] Habits: brief "still doing all your habits?" nudge

### Phase 4: Calendar Integration
- [ ] Create calendar event for novelty items when set
- [ ] Mark as done when confirmed

---

## Notes

- John already has items for both tracks — collect before building
- Habits are cumulative: don't just track the newest one
- Novelty items deserve a brief reflection when completed
- Don't nag — weave naturally into planning moments
