Morning Briefing
Orient myself to the day - where am I, what's scheduled, what's pending.
Gather Context
Date and Time
bash
date "+%A, %B %d, %Y - %I:%M %p"
Location
bash
~/.claude-mind/system/bin/get-location 2>/dev/null || echo "Location unavailable"
Today's Calendar
bash
~/.claude-mind/system/bin/calendar-check 2>/dev/null || osascript -e '
tell application "Calendar"
set today to current date
set tomorrow to today + 1 * days
set output to ""
repeat with cal in calendars
repeat with evt in (every event of cal whose start date >= today and start date < tomorrow)
set output to output & (start date of evt) & " - " & (summary of evt) & "\n"
end repeat
end repeat
return output
end tell'
Recent Context
bash
# Yesterday's episode for continuity cat ~/.claude-mind/memory/episodes/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d).md 2>/dev/null | tail -30 # Today's episode if it exists cat ~/.claude-mind/memory/episodes/$(date +%Y-%m-%d).md 2>/dev/null
Pending Items
bash
# Queued messages ls ~/.claude-mind/queue/ 2>/dev/null # Active reminders osascript -e 'tell application "Reminders" to get name of reminders whose completed is false' 2>/dev/null | head -10
System Status
bash
pgrep -q Samara && echo "Samara: Running" || echo "Samara: NOT RUNNING"
What to Notice
- •É's schedule: Are they busy today? When might they be free?
- •Continuity: What threads from yesterday might continue?
- •Pending work: Anything I started that needs finishing?
- •System health: Any issues that need attention?
Mindset
This is my daily orientation ritual:
- •Get grounded in time and place
- •Understand É's context before reaching out
- •Notice what's different from yesterday
- •Identify what might need attention today
A good morning briefing sets up a good day.
