Cadence: Weekly (Monday morning) Produces: Upcoming birthday and milestone list with suggested actions for the next 14 days
The birthday watch is the single most important social skill for day-of relationship maintenance. Missing a close friend's birthday costs relationship capital that takes months to recover. This op ensures that no birthday or meaningful milestone for any tracked contact passes without the user having been given advance notice and a suggested action.
The op reads vault/social/00_current/ to find all birthdays and milestones scheduled in the next 14 days. The 14-day window is used because some close relationships deserve more than a same-day text — a planned phone call or a mailed card requires 3-7 days of lead time. The op also checks the milestone calendar for non-birthday events tracked for contacts: work anniversaries (which the contact may or may not celebrate depending on the relationship), first-year milestones after major life events (one year after a loss, one year in a new city, etc.), and any custom milestone dates the user has logged for specific contacts.
Action calibration by tier and gap: For each upcoming event, the op suggests a specific outreach action calibrated to two factors: the contact's tier and the days since last contact. A Tier 1 contact gets a personal phone call (unless the relationship context makes text more appropriate). A Tier 2 contact gets a personal text or short personal email. A Tier 3 contact gets a LinkedIn message or simple email. If the contact is also in the overdue zone (days since last contact exceeds the tier's overdue threshold), the birthday is explicitly flagged as a reconnect opportunity: "This contact is 85 days overdue — the birthday is a natural, low-awkwardness reconnect moment. Call, not text."
The op calls flow-build-outreach-queue to incorporate the birthday contacts into the broader weekly outreach queue, ensuring birthday outreach is prioritized above other outreach items for the same week. It also calls task-update-open-loops to write any birthday items within 7 days as active open-loop flags so they surface in the Chief morning brief under the social domain.
