Morning Sync Workflow

Full morning workflow to start Bryan's workday.

Configuration

code

VAULT_PATH="$HOME/notes/workday"
GITHUB_USER="bryan-thompsoncodes"
GITHUB_ORG="department-of-veterans-affairs"
PRIMARY_REPO="vets-website"

Step 1: Locate/Create Daily Note

Determine today's daily note path:

bash

DAY=$(date +%d)
MONTH_ABBREV=$(date +%b)
YEAR=$(date +%Y)
FILENAME="${DAY}${MONTH_ABBREV}${YEAR}.md"
VAULT_PATH="$HOME/notes/workday"
NOTE_PATH="${VAULT_PATH}/daily/${FILENAME}"

ls "$NOTE_PATH" 2>/dev/null || echo "CREATE_NEEDED"

If daily note doesn't exist, create with template containing:

•Current Sprint section with board link
•Due Today / This Week / Awaiting Response sections
•Agent Updates section
•End of Day section
•For Agent section

Step 2: Check Yesterday's Tasks

Read yesterday's daily note. Look for uncompleted items in "For Agent" section. Carry forward if still relevant.

Step 3: Sprint Board Check

bash

gh api graphql -f query='
  query {
    organization(login: "department-of-veterans-affairs") {
      projectV2(number: 1865) {
        items(first: 100) {
          nodes {
            fieldValueByName(name: "Status") {
              ... on ProjectV2ItemFieldSingleSelectValue { name }
            }
            content {
              ... on Issue {
                number
                title
                url
                assignees(first: 5) { nodes { login } }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
'

Categorize tickets by status:

•Blocked
•Sprint Commitment
•In Progress

Step 4: PR Status Check (Your PRs)

bash

gh pr list \
  --author bryan-thompsoncodes \
  --repo department-of-veterans-affairs/vets-website \
  --json number,title,url,statusCheckRollup,reviews \
  --limit 20

For each PR, determine:

•CI status (passing/failing/pending)
•Review status (approved, changes requested, pending)

Step 5: Review Queue Check

bash

gh pr list \
  --search "review-requested:bryan-thompsoncodes" \
  --repo department-of-veterans-affairs/vets-website \
  --json number,title,author,createdAt,url,statusCheckRollup,reviews \
  --limit 20

For each PR needing review:

•Check if Bryan has already reviewed (skip if yes, unless dismissed)
•
For PRs that need review AND have passing CI:
- •Offer to create preliminary review note
- •Would go in Agent 🤖/PR Reviews/PR-{number}-{short-title}.md
•
For PRs that should be skipped, note WHY:
- •WIP, CI failing
- •Draft, stale
- •2+ months old

Step 6: Check WIP Projects

Read notes in Projects/WIP/ for active work context. Read notes in Agent 🤖/Working/ for in-progress collaboration state.

Step 7: Update Daily Note

Write to "Agent Updates" section with format:

markdown
