Executive-function-friendly daily focus board (self-contained HTML) you run by talking to Ember. Registers it in the ember plugin (1.1.0) and regenerates the skills index + marketplace.json. Review fixes: emoji XSS escaping; keyboard a11y (semantic buttons + aria, plus up/down move controls); tagc label colors; local-date storage key + recap date/filename; guarded execCommand and localStorage; confetti animates only while active and stops on reduce-motion; loopback serve bind + quoted dir; JSON config injection with '<' escaped; minute rounding; reorder-to-end; clear stale focus; counter goal guard; and doc corrections (id charset, sample reference, counter contract, option-b, frontmatter length).

# Using the Daily Focus Board
|
||
|
||
A warm, visual board for your day that you run **by talking to your AI partner** (Ember). You set
|
||
the tasks; you keep it current through conversation and a few one-tap controls. This guide covers
|
||
running it in the **GitHub Copilot app** (best experience) and **directly through Ember** anywhere.
|
||
|
||
## Quick start
|
||
|
||
Just ask:
|
||
|
||
> "Make me a focus board for today."
|
||
|
||
Ember will ask for your handful of tasks (or lift them from what you've already said), generate the
|
||
board, serve it locally, and open it. That's it — you're running your day with a partner.
|
||
|
||
## Two ways to run it
|
||
|
||
### A) In the GitHub Copilot app (browser canvas) — recommended
|
||
The app can show a **browser canvas** right next to the chat, so the board lives beside your
|
||
conversation.
|
||
|
||
1. Ask Ember to make the board. It serves the folder (e.g. `python -m http.server 8790 --bind 127.0.0.1`) and gives
|
||
you an `http://localhost:…/…html` URL.
|
||
2. Open a **browser canvas** to that URL. The board sits in the side panel; the chat stays on the left.
|
||
3. Talk to Ember as you work; tap the board for quick updates. Progress saves automatically (localStorage).
|
||
|
||
### B) Directly through Ember (any Copilot session with this skill)
|
||
Same flow, without the side-panel polish:
|
||
|
||
1. "Make me a focus board for today."
|
||
2. Ember serves it and gives you the URL — open it in your browser.
|
||
3. Drive it by talking + tapping.
|
||
|
||
> localStorage needs an `http://` origin, so always **serve** the folder rather than double-clicking
|
||
> the file. If you truly can't serve, the file still opens, but progress may not persist.
|
||
|
||
## The daily loop
|
||
|
||
**1. Arrive (morning).**
|
||
- **Check in:** tap *below / in-between / above the line* — just noticing how you're arriving, no
|
||
judgment. (Below the line? Be gentle and shrink the first step.)
|
||
- **Set a mantra:** type today's intention, tap 🔄 for a suggestion, or ask Ember for one.
|
||
- **List ~4–9 tasks.** Keep it a focus board, not a backlog. Mark the one real **anchor** (give it
|
||
a `due`). Optionally set each task's **priority** (Do first / Schedule / Delegate / Later — tap
|
||
🧭 for what they mean).
|
||
|
||
**2. Work (during the day).**
|
||
- Tap a task's pill to move it **to do → in progress → done** (starting counts — celebrate it).
|
||
- **Log momentum notes** ("first draft done") — they build the story of your day.
|
||
- **Focus mode** (🎯) dims everything but one task when the list feels loud.
|
||
- A stray thought? **Park it** in the 🧠 brain-dump box and keep going.
|
||
- Need to capture something new? **➕ add a task** right on the board.
|
||
- Reorder by importance with the **⠿** handle, or tap **⬍ sort by priority**.
|
||
- Rename any tile's **label** inline.
|
||
|
||
**3. Close (end of day).**
|
||
- Tap **💾 download recap** to keep the day as a Markdown file, or **📋 copy** it.
|
||
- If you copy it, **paste it to Ember** — Ember can journal your day and help you set up tomorrow.
|
||
- Carry unfinished things with **⤳ not today** — that's a healthy choice, not a miss.
|
||
|
||
## Things to say to Ember
|
||
|
||
- "I'm below the line today — give me a gentle mantra and one tiny first step."
|
||
- "What should I do next?" → Ember names **one** thing and can turn on Focus mode.
|
||
- "Add 'call the dentist' to the board."
|
||
- "Help me prioritize — what's actually important vs just urgent?"
|
||
- "Here's my end-of-day recap: …" (paste it) → "journal this and plan tomorrow."
|
||
|
||
## Good to know
|
||
|
||
- **It's yours and optional.** Every feature is a support, not a requirement. Focus-friendly for
|
||
everyone; never a diagnosis.
|
||
- **Keep it small.** If it passes ~9 active tasks, the board nudges you — carry a few to tomorrow.
|
||
- **The Schedule quadrant** (important, not urgent) is where the good, non-frantic work lives —
|
||
protect time for it.
|
||
- **State is per-browser.** The end-of-day recap is how you take your day *out* of the browser.
