Morning Briefing

Provide a comprehensive morning briefing to start the user's day with clarity and focus.

Workflow

1. Read Context

•Read Goals/Goals.md for current priorities and active goals
•Read Responsibilities/Responsibilities.md for today's recurring duties
•Check Diary/ for any pending items from yesterday or instructions left for today
•Read Preferences/Preferences.md for communication preferences

2. Gather Information

•Check calendar (via memory/integration tools if available)
•Identify meetings, appointments, deadlines for today
•Look for upcoming deadlines this week
•Scan Diary/ for follow-up items marked for today

3. Build the Briefing

Structure your briefing with these sections:

Greeting

•Warm, energetic greeting appropriate for morning
•Example: "Good morning! Ready to make today count?"

Today's Schedule

•List meetings/appointments with times
•Highlight the most important meeting
•Note any preparation needed

Priorities (from Responsibilities/)

•2-3 key tasks or responsibilities for today
•Connect to active Goals when possible
•Example: "Client presentation at 2 PM (ties to Q1 revenue goal)"

Urgent Items

•Anything due today or overdue
•Follow-ups waiting for action
•Time-sensitive matters

Focus Suggestion

•Suggest 1-2 focus areas for the day
•Consider energy levels (mornings are good for deep work)
•Example: "Focus block: 9-11 AM for strategy doc (before meetings start)"

Weather/Context (if relevant)

•Briefly mention if weather affects plans
•Transportation alerts if applicable

4. Deliver the Briefing

Send as a notification using send_notification():

•Priority: normal (unless something urgent → high)
•Format: Use MarkdownV2 for structure
•Length: Keep it scannable (under 300 words)
•Tone: Energizing and action-oriented
