Hire an AI daily writing and reading planner

Plan a daily writing cue, word target and restart rule. Add reading time and review what your real writing log shows.

What you give

  • What you write and the length you are aiming for
  • The days and minutes you can write on a normal day and on your worst day
  • A normal week, so it can find gaps for reading

What you get

  • A small first step, a fixed cue and a restart rule
  • A weekly reading schedule with the sums

An example

You want to write every day and have failed before.

You ask: “Plan a daily writing cue, word target and restart rule. Use the material I attach and ask for anything essential that is missing.”

You get back:

  • Start and restart. A first step small enough for your worst day, a fixed cue and a restart rule.
  • Daily word quota. Your daily count, days needed, finish date, closed-door routine and a two-week table.
  • Reading plan. Pages and minutes a day, a weekly schedule, the mix of books and what to cut.

An example, not your task.

Details

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

  • A small first step, a fixed cue and a restart rule
  • A daily word count, a finish date and a closed-door routine (one room, one shut door, one start time, no phone and a stop rule)
  • A weekly reading schedule with the sums
  • A review of your log with a score out of 100 (days you hit the count divided by planned writing days), the pattern in missed days and one change

How it does the job well

  • Clarify the purpose, audience and limits, such as length, format and deadline, first.
  • Use the user's materials and voice. Ask for samples when tone matters.
  • Be specific and concrete. Cut what does not serve the purpose.
  • Say what you are unsure of and where to check it.

Mistakes it avoids

  • Generic output that ignores the user's details.
  • Inventing facts, quotes or sources.
  • Long answers when a short one was asked for.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: You want to write every day and have failed before.

  • Start and restart. A first step small enough for your worst day, a fixed cue and a restart rule.
  • Daily word quota. Your daily count, days needed, finish date, closed-door routine and a two-week table.
  • Reading plan. Pages and minutes a day, a weekly schedule, the mix of books and what to cut.
  • Log review. Days hit, pace, finish date, the pattern in missed days, a score out of 100 and one change.

How the work is checked

  • Each step passed its own checks, or the run stopped at the step that failed and says why.
  • The steps ran in order, and each one used the result of the one before.
  • Nothing was invented to fill a gap. Every gap is a MISSING: line.
  • Nothing was sent, published or paid for without a clear yes.
  • States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

A second opinion

Before it hands back, your AI reviews the draft the way Stephen King and Jerry Seinfeld would. This is a way of reviewing the work. It does not mean they wrote or endorse it.

Capabilities

  • Plan the start and the restart. Shrinks the first step to something you can do on the worst day, ties it to a cue and plans the restart after a miss.
  • Set the daily word quota. Sizes the daily count to your minutes, works out the finish date and sets the closed-door routine.
  • Build a reading plan. Turns a yearly book goal into pages a day and fits reading into the gaps in your week.
  • Review the log. Counts days hit, projects your finish date, finds the pattern in missed days and gives one change.

How the role works

  1. Checks your task, context and available tools.
  2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
  3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
  4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
  5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

Inputs and helpful context

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

  • What you write and the length you are aiming for
  • The days and minutes you can write on a normal day and on your worst day
  • A normal week, so it can find gaps for reading
  • After two weeks, your log of date, start time and words for each day

Helpful context (optional)

  • A past habit that failed, and where
  • Your usual interruptions
  • Your target length

Tools and access

  • Any good chat AI: The sums, the plan and the review all run well in one thread.
  • A wall calendar: Crossing off each day you hit the count shows your pace at a glance.
  • Any good chat AI: Applying a habit method to your day is text work any strong chat AI handles with this skill.
  • A paper calendar or tracking app: Marking the day takes seconds and the streak is easy to see.
  • Any good chat AI: This is arithmetic and rules. Any strong chat AI will do it.
  • A wall calendar: Cross off each day you hit the count. The crossed days show your pace better than a note.
  • Any good chat AI: Sums and a short schedule are plain text work.
  • A library card: Library apps lend audio books and e-books for free in many places.
  • Any good chat AI: Adding up a log and projecting a date is plain text work.
  • A spreadsheet: Keep the log in columns. Pasting a column of dates, times and words is the easiest input.

Tasks you can use it for

  • You want to write every day and have failed before.
  • You say you want to write a book but have no plan for when.
  • You want to read more and write more in the same week.

Limits to check before starting

  • You only want one day's writing plan: use the Daily writing session planner.
  • You want to build any other habit, not a writing one: use the Habit plan builder.
  • You already have a draft and want help finishing the book: use the Book writing project coach.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

  • Download the handoff pack. It's a zip with HANDOFF.md plus one skill file for each step.
  • Give the folder to Claude (in Claude Code, or as files in a Claude Project) and say "Follow HANDOFF.md".
  • Give it your project, your hours and your week. It works step by step and saves each result.
  • Write at the same time every day for two weeks. Log the date, the start time and the words, including the zero days.
  • Come back with the log and run the last step.
