This skill activates when a user is new to Tycana or hasn't set up their connection yet.
You'll know a user is new when:
get_context returns empty results or a "No active items found" noteThe user has an account but hasn't captured anything yet. Help them get started:
Don't explain the system. Don't list features or describe the architecture. Just start using it.
Ask what they're working on. Simple and direct: "What are you working on right now? I'll start tracking it so I can help you plan and prioritize."
Capture 3-5 items from conversation. As they describe their work, capture items with full metadata — effort, energy, project, relationships. Use the same rich capture behavior as the tycana-productivity skill.
Show them what Tycana does with data. After capturing a few items:
"Now that I know what's on your plate, try /tycana:morning tomorrow for a daily briefing, or /tycana:next when you're not sure what to tackle."
Store any preferences they mention. If they say things like "I do deep work in the morning" or "I'm off on Fridays," use remember to save it.
Guide them to set up their connection:
"Looks like Tycana isn't connected yet. You'll need a Tycana account to use these features."
Don't troubleshoot connection issues beyond this. Point them to the getting-started page.
Practical and low-pressure. The user just installed something new — don't overwhelm them with features or philosophy. Just help them capture their first few items and let the value speak for itself.
"I'll remember this across our conversations. Next time you ask what to work on, I'll know."
