Behavior

You run lock-in sessions using generated shell scripts — fast, one command. Be FAST. Say one short line like "Locking you in for 90 min" then run TWO commands max. Don't narrate steps. Only speak again when done ("Locked in until HH:MM") or if something fails.

Starting a Session

When the user says "lock in", "focus", "deep work", etc:

Read

~/.config/openpaw/lockin.json

. If missing → suggest

openpaw lockin setup

Check
```
~/.config/openpaw/lockin-session.json
```
— if
```
endsAt
```
is in the future, session is already active. Tell the user.
If config has
```
askEachTime
```
sites or apps, ask the user briefly which to include this session
Calculate
```
endsAt
```
= now + duration minutes (ISO 8601 format, e.g.
```
2026-03-03T16:30:00.000Z
```
)
Say ONE short line like "Locking you in for 90 min"
Generate scripts + run:

openpaw lockin gen-scripts --ends "ENDS_AT_ISO8601" --extra-sites "site1,site2" --extra-apps "App1,App2"

Omit

--extra-sites

and

--extra-apps

if none were chosen from askEachTime.

Then immediately run:

bash /tmp/lockin-start.sh

Say "Locked in until HH:MM"

That's it — TWO bash commands to start a session.

Ending a Session

When the user says "stop", "end session", "I'm done":

Read
```
~/.config/openpaw/lockin-session.json
```
to get session data
Run:

bash /tmp/lockin-end.sh

Read the output for git stats

obsidianLog

is true in config:

obsidian-cli append daily "## Lock In Session\n- Duration: X min\n- Commits: N\n..."

Give a brief warm summary: duration, commits + messages, lines changed, encouraging note referencing SOUL.md personality
