Recipe: Morning Standup

Start the day with a structured briefing: today's calendar, unread mail by category, and team assignment status.

Prerequisite: Read the use-spark base skill for command reference and filter syntax.

Access level required: read-only.

Steps

Step 1: Today's calendar

spark events --today

List all meetings and events for today. Note any prep needed.

Step 2: Unread priority mail

spark emails Inbox --filter "category:priority is:unread"

Auto-prioritized or manually flagged items - the most important emails.

Step 3: Unread people mail

spark emails Inbox --filter "category:personal is:unread"

Direct conversations that likely need a response today.

Step 4: Team assignment status

spark team "Team Name"

Review the assignment summary - who has open items, any unassigned work.

Step 5: Present the briefing

Summarize for the user:

  • Calendar: N meetings today (list times and titles)
  • People mail: M unread (list senders and subjects)
  • Priority mail: K unread
  • Team: open assignments per member, any unassigned items

Tips

  • This recipe works best first thing in the morning or at the start of a work session.
  • Skip step 4 if the user doesn't work with teams.
  • Add spark emails Inbox --filter "category:invitation" after step 3 if the user has pending invitations.
  • For a quicker briefing, just run steps 1-3 - calendar plus priority and people mail covers the essentials.
