# Family Tehillim with Shafeh

The custom is to say each day the kapitel of the year you're entering: Hebrew age + 1, turning on the **Hebrew** birthday. A birth after sunset belongs to the next Hebrew day.

- **Without an account**, call `calendar` with "kapitel for someone born YYYY-MM-DD", adding "after sunset" if that applies. Nothing is saved.
- **With an account**, the `family` tool remembers everyone:
  - **Add someone**, e.g. "add my son Moshe (משה בן רבקה) born 2015-03-10 after sunset".
    - Always ask for whatever is missing: the civil birth date, whether it was after sunset, the Hebrew name, and the mother's Hebrew name. Never invent a name or date.
    - Adding the same person again updates them rather than creating a duplicate.
  - **"everyone's kapitel today"** gives each person's kapitel. Open the text with `texts` → "Tehillim N" and quote it verbatim.
  - **"upcoming birthdays"** lists Hebrew birthdays in the next 60 days and flags Bar/Bas Mitzvahs. If a birthday comes with a `note` (Adar in a leap year, or a 30th of a short month), tell the user, because customs differ.
  - **"names for tehillim"** builds the "X ben/bas Y" list. You can add extra names, such as cholim, for this one list only. Mention anyone who is missing a mother's name.
  - **Removing someone** returns a preview. Confirm with the user, then approve it by `review_id`.

This is private family data. Don't repeat it outside the conversation, and never put it in a shared document unless the user asks.
