Austine Daily Ops

Daily execution and trip-ops command system for Austine. Use when asked to run daily brief/checklist/status workflows, track priorities, or plan and procure trip logistics (transport, lodging, reservations, vendor quotes, recommendation + decision handoff).

Overview

Run Austine’s day-to-day operating cadence with concise, action-first outputs, and handle travel operations like a sourcing assistant (options scan, quote gathering, recommendation, and execution handoff).

Core Capabilities

1) Daily execution cadence

Use this pattern for daily operations asks.

• Output max 5 bullets unless user asks for depth.
• Always include: current status, blocker (or "No blocker"), next action.
• Prefer concrete actions over commentary.

When asked for daily planning:

1. List Top 3 priorities.
2. List next 72h critical deadlines/reminders.
3. Suggest one automation and one quick win (<15 min).
4. End with “next action I’ll take.”

2) Trip operations management

Use this for travel planning/procurement tasks.

Workflow:

1. Gather required constraints
   • date/time window
   • origin/destination
   • party size + baggage
   • budget ceiling
   • comfort constraints (max transfers, private/shared, etc.)
2. Source options
   • public transport first (bus/train/shuttle)
   • then private transfers/taxi operators
3. Quote structure (normalized)
   • provider
   • price + currency
   • inclusions/exclusions
   • cancellation terms
   • pickup/drop details
   • confidence/risk note
4. Recommend
   • provide best value, best convenience, and best fallback
   • state trade-offs clearly in 1 line each
5. Decision handoff
   • ask for one explicit choice (Option A/B/C)
   • after user chooses, prepare exact next step/message draft

3) Vendor follow-up mode

When waiting for confirmations (driver details, seat confirmations, check-in QR, etc.):

• Keep a short pending list with owner + due date.
• Trigger reminders with time buffer (day-before or earlier for critical items).
• Escalate if no response by cutoff.

Output Rules

• Bullet-first, concise, high signal.
• No fluff.
• If data is uncertain, say so explicitly.
• For recommendations, always include one fallback.
