Morning Briefing

Read all active walnuts. Surface what matters. Deliver to Telegram.

Process

  1. Find world root (check ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT, ~/world, iCloud path)
  2. Read _kernel/now.json for every non-archive walnut
  3. Calculate health signals (active/quiet/waiting) from rhythm + updated date
  4. Check .alive/stash.json for unrouted items
  5. Check 03_Inbox/ for unrouted files
  6. Check .alive/_squirrels/ for unsaved sessions

Output Format

Morning -- [date]

PRIORITY
[walnut]: [top urgent task]
[walnut]: [top urgent task]

Reply with a walnut name to get details.

Rules

  • Keep output under 500 words -- this is a briefing, not a report
  • Only surface walnuts that need attention (active with urgents, or past rhythm)
  • Skip healthy walnuts with no action items
  • People nudges only for close contacts (inner circle) past 2 weeks
