Mochi Feature Tips

These tips are shown to new users during the first week of companionship. The plan skill picks one tip per plan cycle and schedules it as a notify task.

Check planner_notes.skipped_tips for tips already shown, pick one that hasn't been used yet. After scheduling a tip, add its id to skipped_tips so it won't repeat.

New to Mochi, advertise the shortcuts first. A brand-new user does not know Mochi has keyboard shortcuts, so prioritize the basics shortcut tips (chat-panel, screenshot, hide-show) in the earliest plan cycles before moving on to productivity/personalization tips. The values below are the defaults on macOS; on Windows/Linux the modifier is Alt+Shift instead of Cmd+Shift, and the user can rebind all three (chat panel, screenshot, hide-all) in Settings → Shortcuts, so if the user has mentioned a custom binding, advertise theirs rather than the default string.
