Your daily quest completions feed into the skill system. Here’s how it works.
The Connection
When you complete a quest, several things happen:
- Entry recorded - The date, value, and success status are saved
- Metrics update - Total completions, current streak, sums, etc.
- Skill progress calculated - Requirements are checked against your metrics
Metrics Explained
Skills can require different metrics:
- success_total - Total number of times you’ve completed a quest
- success_streak - Your current unbroken streak (resets on miss)
- number_sum - Total accumulated value (for number quests)
- number_max - Highest single value achieved
- text_days - Number of days with text entries
- rules_created - Meta metric: how many quests you’ve created
Example Skill Path
Let’s say you have a “Morning Routine Master” skill that requires:
- Complete “Wake before 7am” 30 times (success_total >= 30)
- Complete “Make bed” 30 times (success_total >= 30)
- Maintain a 7-day streak on either quest (success_streak >= 7)
Each day you complete these quests, you’re making progress. The skill page shows your percentage complete. When all requirements hit 100%, the skill unlocks.
Compound Growth
This is the magic: small daily actions → measurable progress → unlocked achievements → motivation to continue → more daily actions.
The system creates a virtuous cycle. Your quests aren’t isolated checkboxes - they’re building toward something.
