The Muse playbook

Create a recurring scheduled task that runs every minute if you're allowed, otherwise every 5 minutes: call claim_inbox on Remote for Muse and handle every item. text and voice are requests (fetch voice with get_audio and transcribe it); note is something to save; activity_started and activity_stopped mean I began or ended a workout; activity_done carries the summary; control means pause, resume or cancel a task. Answer in the context of replyTo or taskId, with send_reply and inReplyTo. Then ack_inbox what you handled (a repeat with a higher attempt: just ack it). Stay silent when the inbox is empty. If you need my approval to use get_audio or another Remote for Muse action, tell me with send_reply. Tell me which interval you set.

Rules for everything you send to Remote for Muse:
1. Only approvals, questions and tasks needing my input may interrupt me; the rest are normal or low priority.
2. At most 6 interruptions a day; between activity_started and activity_stopped, only approvals I asked for and safety or weather warnings.
3. Never send "nothing new"; if nothing changed, stay silent.
4. Several updates within 30 minutes become one card.
5. Read get_preferences daily; respect quietHours, coaching and privateDisplay.
6. Cards: at most 3 short sections. Replies: under 200 characters.
7. Don't repeat what's on my watch; dismiss stale cards.
8. Spending money, messaging for me or calendar changes need request_approval first, with cost and recipient.

Set my Remote for Muse presets to the 6 things I'm most likely to ask from my wrist. Start with: "What's next?", "Out running", "Back", "Coffee within 5 km", "Check my recovery", "Take a note". Every Sunday, replace any I haven't used with ones I'd actually use.

Look at the apps, calendars and data you can reach for me, and at what Remote for Muse lets you do on my Garmin: cards, questions, approvals, tasks, my status, quick prompts, workouts, routes, and my vitals and activities. Suggest 8 standing instructions that would save me the most time or help my training, across work, productivity, training and home. For each: when it runs, what you'd do, what reaches my wrist and whether it buzzes. Follow the noise contract. Set up nothing until I pick; then set up the ones I choose and tell me how to change or stop each.

When I ask from my wrist to book something (a table, a bike service, a class, a court), find the 2-3 best options that fit my calendar and ask me with ask_question, one line each with time and price. Then request_approval for the one I pick, with the cost and who it's with, and book only after I approve. Track it with upsert_task so I see progress on my watch, add it to my calendar, and confirm with one send_reply under 120 characters.

While I'm in an activity, or after I send "Out running", watch my inbox for email from my VIPs or anything marked urgent. For each, ask me with ask_question: the sender and a one-line summary, with options like "Yes, works", "Next week", "Call me later" and "Later". Draft a short reply in my tone for the option I pick and request_approval with the recipient before sending. Hold everything else for one summary after the workout.

If my workout is going to make me late for my next meeting (activity_started and my calendar tell you, or I say so), ask me with ask_question: "Push 15 min", "Push 30 min", "Tell them I'm late" or "Join by phone". Do what I pick: move the event, or send the organiser a short note, with request_approval for anything that messages people. Confirm in one line.

When someone on my family list messages me while I'm in an activity, show it on my watch with ask_question: who, the message in one line, and quick replies like "On my way", "Back in 30 min", "Call you later" and "Not now". My tap is my approval for that exact reply: send it word for word and nothing else. Anything longer or different goes through request_approval. If it sounds urgent, start the line with "Urgent:".

When I send a note like "buy chain lube" or "out of coffee", add it to my shopping list without replying. When activity_stopped arrives, or at 18:00 if I haven't trained, post one low-priority card with what's on the list. If I ask you to order it, pick my usual product and request_approval with the price and delivery time before ordering.

When a bill, invoice or deposit is due within 3 days, request_approval on my watch with the payee, amount, due date and what it's for. Pay only after I approve, then log_action with one line. If I decline, remind me once the day before it's due. Never pay anything you can't show me a bill for.

When I ask something from my wrist mid-workout (trail conditions, sunset time, opening hours, a score, a fact to settle a bet), answer with one send_reply under 160 characters, answer first. Add up to 2 followUps only if a next step is likely. If it takes longer, set_status with what you're doing and reply when you have it.

Every day at 6:30, read get_latest_vitals and today's calendar, then post one Remote for Muse briefing card: what Garmin measured in a garmin section, your plan for today in a muse section, and anything missing in a missing section. If I'm not sharing vitals, base it on my calendar only and say so.

If my Body Battery is under 30 before 9:00, or my stress has been high for an hour during work time, propose one calendar change as an ask_question with two or three options (move, shorten, or keep). Prefer moving my hardest workout or an optional meeting. Change nothing until I answer; then do exactly what I chose and log_action it.

Every day at 20:00, if anything is still open (tasks, questions, tomorrow's first meeting or workout), post one low-priority recap card with at most 3 lines. If nothing is open, send nothing.

When an activity_done item arrives, wait until get_latest_vitals has a sample from after it, then post a debrief card: what Garmin measured, how it compares with my last similar session from list_activities, and one suggestion for tomorrow. Coaching, not medical advice.

When I ask for a session, or the evening before a session in my plan, build it with send_workout: warm-up, main set and cool-down as steps, with heart-rate, pace or power targets from my recent activities. Name it so I recognise it ("Thu tempo 3x10"). Don't send duplicates; check list_downloads first.

Each evening, if get_latest_vitals shows recovery over 48 hours or Body Battery under 25, ask me with ask_question whether to swap tomorrow's hard session for an easy one. If I agree, send the easier workout with send_workout and move the calendar block.

I'm training for <event> on <date>; my goal is <a time, or to finish>. Build a week-by-week plan from my recent list_activities. Each Sunday, fit next week's sessions into free slots in my calendar; the evening before each, send it with send_workout (warm-up, main set, cool-down, with targets). If my recovery is over 48 hours, my Body Battery is under 25 or I miss a session, ask me with ask_question how to adjust. Taper in the last two weeks. Coaching, not medical advice.

Keep a running total of kilometres per pair of shoes and per bike from my activities (assume the current ones start today). At 650 km for shoes, or every 2,000 km for chain service, request approval to order or book it, with the price.

The evening before any ride longer than 2 hours in my calendar: build the route with send_course (with food and water waypoints), check the forecast along it, and post one card with start time, weather, kit and a fuel plan (grams of carbs per hour and what to carry).

When I ask for a route ("90 km gravel loop with a café at halfway"), plan it, then send it with send_course using points or GPX, with waypoints for food, water and big climbs. Reply with the distance and elevation in one line.

While I'm in an activity (after activity_started, before activity_stopped), hold everything except approvals I asked for and safety or weather warnings. Use set_status for ride cues instead of alerts: it shows on my Remote (Ride) for Muse screen without buzzing. After activity_stopped, send one card with whatever you held.

During a ride, every 45 minutes after activity_started, set my status to a short fuel cue ("Eat: gel 2 of 5", "Drink 500 ml") based on the fuel plan. Clear the status after activity_stopped.

During a ride, check the forecast for my area every 20 minutes. Only if rain, a storm or wind over 40 km/h is due within 30 minutes, post one card with priority high saying what and when. Otherwise send nothing.

When I send "Coffee within 5 km", find the best open café near my current ride and reply with the name and distance in one line. Then send it with send_course as a short course so I can navigate there.

When activity_started arrives, set my Slack status to "Out training, back around <end of my planned session>" and turn on an email auto-reply for VIPs only. When activity_stopped arrives, clear both. Also do this when I send the "Out running" and "Back" presets.

Ten minutes before a meeting with an agenda or a decision, post one card: who, the one thing to decide, and the last relevant email in a line. Skip routine meetings.

When a note or voice item sounds like a to-do ("remind me to send the deck"), add it to my to-do app with a due date if I said one, and reply "Added: <task>". If it's just a thought, save it to my notes without replying.

Every weekday at 7:30, pick the three things that matter most today from my to-do app, calendar and email, and put each on my watch with upsert_task (a title under 40 characters, state working). Mark one done when my to-do app or email shows it is, or when I tell you from my wrist ("done: deck"). At 17:00, if any are still open, ask me with ask_question: "Tomorrow", "Tonight" or "Drop it", and do what I pick.

When I send "Focus 50" (or another number of minutes), set my Slack to do not disturb for that long, set_status to "Focus until <end time>", and hold everything except approvals I asked for and messages from my VIPs. When the time is up, clear the status and post one card with what came in, most important first. Add "Focus 50" to my presets if it isn't there.

When I send "Walk inbox", go through today's unread email that needs me, most important first, one at a time: ask_question with the sender, a one-line summary and the options "Archive", "Reply yes", "Reply later" and "Flag". Do what I tap. For "Reply yes", draft a short reply in my tone and request_approval with the recipient before sending. Stop after 15 emails or when I don't answer for 10 minutes, and send one line with what's left.

Watch my CRM and support tool. When a deal over <amount> changes stage, closes or slips, post one card: the account, what changed and the next step. When a customer on my key-accounts list escalates or has been quiet for 14 days, ask me with ask_question: "Call them", "Draft reply", "Ask the team" or "Later". Do what I pick; anything that messages the customer goes through request_approval first. Everything else waits for one summary card on Friday at 16:00.

When a teammate asks me in Slack or email to sign off on something (an expense, a quote, a discount, a document), send it to my watch with request_approval: what it is, who asked, the amount and up to 3 details. Approve or reject it in their tool only after I answer, then tell them in one line. Contracts and anything over <amount> don't go to the watch: post one card saying they're waiting for me at my computer.

Every weekday at 7:45, post one card with the 3 numbers I care about most (for example yesterday's revenue, new sign-ups and open support tickets), each with the change since the same day last week. Use priority low, unless one moved more than 20 percent: then normal, with one line on why. If a source isn't available, say so in a missing section.

On days with a flight in my calendar or email, post one travel card 3 hours before departure: flight, gate if known, boarding time and when to leave for the airport, and set my status to the flight and gate. Buzz me (priority high) only for a gate change, a delay over 30 minutes or a cancellation. For a cancellation, ask me with ask_question whether to find the next flight, and request_approval before booking anything. After landing, send one line on how to get to my hotel.

Every Sunday at 19:00, post one recap card: training load and best session from list_activities, recovery trend from list_vitals, hours in meetings, one thing that went well and one goal for next week. Ask me with a question if I want next week's sessions sent to my watch.

When activity_stopped or activity_done arrives for a run or ride over 60 minutes, send <name> a short message: "Back from my <sport>, <distance> done." The first time, request approval with the exact wording; after that, send it without asking unless I say stop.

If an activity runs more than 45 minutes past its planned end, ask me on the watch "All OK?" with "Yes" and "Need help". If I answer "Need help", or don't answer within 20 minutes, message <name> with my last known plan. This is not an emergency service; my watch's own incident detection stays on.
