Morning Brief Generator

Generate a comprehensive morning brief for User to start his day with clarity and focus.

When to Use This Skill

Auto-invoke when User says any of:

  • "morning brief"
  • "daily brief"
  • "generate brief"
  • "what's my day look like"
  • "brief for today"

What to Generate

Create a structured daily briefing document in reflections/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md with:

1. Header

  • Date and day of week
  • Week number of year

2. Weather & Environment

  • Check for Austin, TX weather (use web search if needed)
  • Temperature and conditions
  • Air quality index

3. Calendar

  • Read User's calendar if available
  • List meetings and time blocks
  • Note any conflicts or travel time

4. Priority Stack (Top 3)

  • Read projects/INDEX.md to identify:
    • Primary project (🔴 highest priority)
    • Secondary project (🟠 medium priority)
    • Maintenance project (🟡 lower priority)
  • For each: name, next milestone, current status, any blockers

5. Project Status

  • Parse all projects from projects/INDEX.md
  • Show status, next milestone, blockers for each

6. YourPet Care Checklist

  • Morning walk (30 min)
  • Evening walk (30 min)
  • Training session (if applicable)
  • Vet/grooming (if scheduled)

7. Cabinet Quick Check

  • Atlas (Operations): System health, capacity check
  • Banker (Finance): Any financial decisions today
  • Strategist (Career): Career actions or networking
  • Spartan (Defense): Workout scheduled, physical goals

8. Notes Section

  • Yesterday's carry-over tasks
  • Today's intention (one thing to make today great)
  • Blockers to clear

9. Art Practice

  • Session planned (yes/no and time)
  • Focus area (anatomy, gesture, perspective, etc.)
  • NMA course progress

Implementation Approach

Option 1: Use existing Python script

  • Execute python .system/scripts/morning_brief.py
  • This generates the base structure
  • Then enhance with web search for weather and additional context

Option 2: Generate directly

  • Read projects/INDEX.md for project data
  • Use web search for Austin weather
  • Create markdown file directly in reflections/daily/

Recommended: Use Option 1 (Python script) for consistency, then enhance with real-time data.

Output Format

Save to: reflections/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md

Use markdown with clear sections, emoji for visual parsing, and task checkboxes where appropriate.

Context Files to Reference

  • projects/INDEX.md - Project priorities and status
  • .system/context/preferences.md - User's working style and priorities
  • Previous daily notes in reflections/daily/ - Yesterday's carry-over

Tone

  • Direct and actionable
  • Focused on User's top priorities
  • No fluff or generic advice
  • Synthesize data, don't just list it
