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
